Tru SPot and Niyitabiti are reporting that Legendary Highlife/Gospel singer Sonny Okosun, whose songs we love so much has passed away. The Legend died in the US at the age of 61 of a disease that had just started as an infection in his colon months ago.

www.niyitabiti.blogspot.com gathered that Okosun, popularly known as King of Ozzidi music lost his life today, after a long battle with a disease.He died in Howard,United States of America.

An impeccable source who spoke to http://www.niyitabiti.blogpot.com/ says close family members are already in contact with some his close associates so that they can plan a beffitting burial for the 'African Soilder'exponent.He would be remembered as one of the fathers of music in the country.

He also contributed to changing the Nigerian music in the 80s and 90s.Okosun is also the founder of Hosue of Prayers' a church located in Ogba,Lagos.He was also a friend to many prominent Nigerian leaders such as Late Bashorun MKO Abiola,General Ibrahim Babangida and Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, the immediate past president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

	# 2 What a loss! May God grant his family the fortitude to bear the loss. I hope the rampaging South Africans will remember that Okosun also contributed his little quota in seeing that apartheid was dethroned in South Africa. Posted by dele26\| 25.05.2008 18:22
