Farewell to Nigerian music Legend and Evangelist, Sonny Okosun, who lost his battle with colon cancer on saturday,05/24/08. The 61 year old died at Howard University Teaching Hospital in Wasgington D.C, USA, where he was receiving treatment. He was a great inspirational singer whose music spoke to issues affecting the state of the nation, a freedom and unity activist....a man of God. Though he is gone,his music and his works will live forever....May his soul rest in peace...Amen!
When tragedy like this happens, it is imperative for everyone to take a moment and get more knowledge about the disease;symptoms,causes,treatment...When we become aware of facts about the disease...only then, can we better take the necessary preventive measures to protect ourselves......In any disease, early detection is key to better treatment and cure.

Nigeria has really lost a legend in the music industry.I met Sunny Okosun when he came to perform at my sister's traditional wedding few years back in Uyo,Nigeria.He was always full of live.His music were always very inspirational, he was always pushing people to be closer to God through the church he started in Nigeria.Sunny will be deeply missed and his classical music will live on forever.All i can say is,we can not celebrate his death, but we have to celebrate his life because the impact he had on all of our lives is priceless. Sunny, may your soul rest in peace, and i will keep you and your family in my prayers through this period of bereavement.
