12 years after the death of Nigerian Rapper, Oladapo Olaonipekun, popularly called Dagrin, Sierra Leone’s police has declared him wanted.
The Sierra Leone police released Pictures of wanted people that took part in the violent protest last week and late Dagrin was one of them.
Hundreds of people took to the streets on Wednesday 11 August to protest against economic conditions in the country. Both civilians and police officers were killed during anti-government protests on 11 and 12 August in Sierra Leone.
TheNewsGuru.com reports that 12 years ago, Dagrin rammed his newly acquired Nissan Maxima into a stationary truck at night in front of the Alakara Police Station in Mushin, Lagos on April 14, 2010.
On April 22, 2010, Dagrin died at the age of 25.
His death remains one of the biggest tragedies in the Nigerian music industry as his death shocked Nigerians and his fans alike.
Before rappers like Ycee, Ladipoe, and Falz came into the spotlight, there was Dagrin, a man whose rapping talents knew no bounds.
Having won the hearts of many Nigerians through his hit album, CEO, Dagrin proved he was a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry and a rap legend people would talk about for decades.
Dagrin was born into the family of Mr and Mrs Olaniyi Abolaji Olaonipekun on October 25, 1984. He was the fourth child of his parents.
The award-winning artist, upon completing his early education at Meiran Community Primary School, Meiran Community High School, and Egbado College, proceeded to pursue a career in music.
Fuelled with the passion to be a popular rapper in Nigeria, he travelled down to Lagos, where he met up with producers to record his songs and started his record label, Missofunyin Entertainment.
Dagrin
In 2009, Dagrin released the critically acclaimed album, C.E.O., which consisted of many hit singles like Pon pon pon, Ghetto Dream, and Thank God, among many others.
The album dominated the airwaves and heavily influenced Nigerian pop culture.
However, long before he became a national rap sensation, he released a debut album titled, “Still on the matter.”
It was while he was working on his debut album that he met his manager, Olamus, who encouraged his colleague, Satty C, to sign Dagrin to the record label, Salty Records.
Following a dispute between them, Olamus and Dagrin left Salty to start a record label called Missofunyin Entertainment.
Although the Chief Executive Omota (CEO) album was released under salty records, it slowly found itself a new home at Missofunyin.
With a sales record of over five million units, Dagrin soon became a household name for his indigenous appeal on each song.
He is popularly known for his usage of English, pidgin English, and Yoruba in his rap lyrics.
In his lifetime, he worked with the likes of Y.Q, 9ice, M.I, Iceberg Slim, Omobaba, Terry G, Code, MISTAR DOLLAR, TMD entertainment, Omowunmi, Chuddy K, Bigiano, and Konga.
Also, producers like Sossick, Dr Frabz, Sheyman, Frenzy, and 02 collaborated with the rap legend.
In addition to the commercial success his album, C.E.O, received, Dagrin was nominated in different categories at music awards.
In 2010, he was nominated for the Nigerian Entertainment Awards for Best Album, Hottest Single “Pon Pon Pon”, Best Rap Act, and Best Collaboration with vocals.
He was also nominated as the artist of the year and won the best rap album at the Hip Hop World Awards in 2010.
Dagrin’s impact on the rap scene in Nigeria cannot be overemphasised. His music paved the way for artists like Naira Marley and Zlatan to openly air their views on various social and political issues through music.
Police in Anambra have begun investigation into the case of a man who clubbed his sister-in-law to death on July 19 in Oyi Local Government Area of the state.
The suspect engaged his brother and the deceased in battle over property ownership when death resulted.
Police spokesman in Anambra, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, told newsmen on Monday in Awka that the suspect had been arrested and was helping in police investigation.
The widower, Mr Emenike Okoye, a mechanic from Ogbunike in Oyi Local Government Area has also been demanding for justice over the murder of his 40-year-old wife.
Okoye, who also sustained injury in the battle, is recuperating in a hospital.
He appealed to Gov. Chukwuma Soludo, the police and NGOs to rescue his family by prosecuting his brother.
He also urged well-meaning individuals to relocate him to a better hospital where he could fully recover.
“My brother is not the family’s first born, yet he claims ownership of the entire compound and always fights with all of us in spite of several reconciliatory moves.
“This crisis has led to the death of my wife.
“I want relevant stakeholders to come to my rescue so that our five teenage children will not be left to suffer,’’ Okoye pleaded.
Ivana Trump, Donald Trump’s first wife and the mother of his three oldest children, has died, the former president said Thursday.
“I am very saddened to inform all of those that loved her, of which there are many, that Ivana Trump has passed away at her home in New York City,” the former president said in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social. “She was a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life. Her pride and joy were her three children, Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. She was so proud of them, as we were all so proud of her. Rest In Peace, Ivana!”
According to CNBC, Ivana Trump was 73. Her cause of death is unknown.
A former model who was born in Czechoslovakia, the former Ivana Zelnickova married then-businessman Donald Trump in 1977, and held key positions in his businesses, including the Trump Organization, during their 15-year marriage. The couple had three children — Donald Trump Jr., 44, Ivanka Trump, 40, and Eric Trump, 38.
In a statement, the Trump children remembered their mother as “an incredible woman — a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and caring mother and friend.”
“Ivana Trump was a survivor. She fled from communism and embraced this country. She taught her children about grit and toughness, compassion, and determination. She will be dearly missed by her mother, her three children, and ten grandchildren,” they wrote.
I know many people have a morbid fear of death. If you are one of such people, please skip the article because that is what I want to talk about.
I have been listening to Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston music for the past two hours (at the time of writing). I never get tired or bored of listening to their music. As I listened, I began to wonder why God allowed them to die so prematurely, when the world was still savouring their music. Left with man, they would have lived until they were too old to sing and entertain. Then my mind drifted to my personal tragedies. My father gave his all for us. We were planning how we would graduate and reward him for his endless love and sacrifices. While writing my degree examinations, my father died. My elder brother, Senator Akpor Pius Ewherido was warming up for the 2015 general elections. He had teamed up with others to start a political party, which was later named All Progressive Congress. Yes, he actually wanted to contest 2015 governorship election.
He made it clear to me that law making was his primary turf and would have been contented in the senate, but the plans he had for Delta State could only be actualized as a governor. I put all personal plans aside and plunged into the project. Everything was going according to plan until that black day on June 30 2013, when he suddenly passed on. I remember that with great pains. My eldest brother, Fr. Tony was invited for a brief meeting at the National Hospital, Abuja. By the time he came back, his eyes were bloodshot. We were looking into his eyes waiting for update. After what seemed like an eternity, with shaky voice, he blurted out, “we lost him.” We were still contending with Pius’ death when we lost my eldest brother, Aloysius, 19 months later.
As I thought of Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, my father and my late brothers I told myself that they did not deserve to die at the time they died. Then remembered Isaiah 55: 12-13: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. That is the only way these deaths and many others can make sense to me. But that does not make these deaths any less painful.
As I said earlier, many people, including septuagenarians and octogenarians, are scared of death. Their relatives also do not want them to die. I too want to get to a ripe age, but since I realized that it is not within my power, I do not think of it anymore. Before, I could fly from Lagos to Houston in America (about a 14-hour journey on a straight flight) without dozing off because of fear crash when I am asleep, as if it makes a difference whether I am asleep or awake. Now, I sleep off on a one-hour Lagos-Abuja flight. One big brother of mine helped me overcome this fear. He is very rich, but once he gets into his first-class seat, the next assignment is to sleep. I once asked him that with all his wealth, how does he manages to do that. He responded: “Francis, forget. Once you dey up there, wetin you fit do?” Near death experiences have also helped me to realize the helplessness of man when it comes to death and our very mortal nature. It is appointed unto every man to die. What we do not know is when and how. My prayer is that God saves us from premature, sudden and unexpected death.
I have been unconscious before, which gave me an idea of what death looks like. You feel no pain and you are shut out from happenings around you. You feel no hurt, frustration, disappointment and bereavement. Another lot of everyman is bereavement. At some point in life, you lose loved ones. There are only two ways to avoid bereavement. The first is to die before all your loved ones, including your parents. The second is to stop loving. Bereavement is not just about losing a relative, it is about losing someone you loved. Why is it that you read that 1000 people perished in another part of the world and you do not wail? You read the story out of curiosity and move on. You have no bond with them.
But living in a world without loving anyone is not living, that is, if it is even possible. It is difficult not to love. I remember 1988 after my father died. I was devastated. He was not just a father, he was one of the most selfless and caring men I ever knew. He broke my heart. I started looking at my mother with suspicion. I decided that I will not love her because I do not want my heart to be broken again. Then I realized that it was impossible not to love her. She had invested so much in my life and molded me. God used her to give me wisdom and she was beside my father in the trenches through thick and thin. I love my mother endlessly and I am not tired of saying it. She is 89 years now, but I still yearn for her company. I want her around much longer, especially since she is still strong and alert. But when God finally calls her, I will miss her dearly, but I will not be heartbroken, because that will be ingratitude to God. God has been faithful to her. My final thought
“I hold it true, whate’er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most; ‘Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.”
No fewer than 17 passengers escaped death in Kogi on Friday night when a bus rammed into a parked articulated vehicle, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in the state has said.
Mr Stephen Dawulung, the Kogi Sector Commander of the corps confirmed this on Saturday in Lokoja.
Dawulung said that two persons died while a person out of the 17 persons was seriously injured and rushed to Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Lokoja for medical attention while the bodies were also deposited in the mortuary.
The sector commander said that the accident occurred at Apamaru village, before Gada Biu on Lokoja-Obajana-Kabba road.
“The cause of the accident was high speed and poor visibility since it was already night.
“This is part of reasons we keep preaching to motorists to avoid night journey not to endanger their lives and those of their passengers at risk.
“That incident would have been avoided if the driver had not embarked in that journey knowing that his bus had poor lighting system.
“But we give God the glory that 17 out of the 19 person’s involved in the accident survived it.
“While I sympathise with families of the deceased, I wish to advise drivers to avoid night travel because visibility is normally poor at night.
“Beside that, drivers are also most likely to be under fatigue and sleepy at night and yet drive on top speed because the roads are relatively freer of traffic at night,” he said.
Dawulung said that drivers must therefore adhere to stipulated speed limits and observe minimum of 30 minutes rest after every four hours drive to avoid fatigue and sleep while driving.
He said that passengers should also understand that night journey could expose them to higher risks of being involved in a crash and should try and avoid it.

Presidential aspirant, Omoyele Sowore, has announced the death of his grandmother Moyinoluwa Olawoye nee Befo.
The publisher of Sahara Reporters said she passed on early Wednesday at the age of 100, describing her in a touching tribute as his digital grandmother.
“Early this morning my legendary grandmother, Moyinoluwa Comfort Olawoye nee Befo passed on at the age 100!” he wrote across social media platforms.
Sowore noted that him and his grandmother became close later in life because schooling took him away from home early.
“However, recently she started to show signs that she will be departing this world soon. She kept asking to speak with me and I had thought it was because she did not believe anything anyone in the family told her that I had been released from detention since 2019,” he wrote.
Sowore recently secured an Appeal Court order nullifying a lower court order which restricted him to Abuja in his face-off with the Federal Government.
He said his last visit to his grandmother before her passing was on May 5 during a campaign stop in his hometown.
“She said she needed to embark on a journey but was just waiting to see me before that very important trip, but because my grandma was often talking about ‘departing this world’ at least for the last 20 years, I told her she’s not gonna die yet, at least not until I bring her with me to Abuja as President of Nigeria, I teased. It turned out this would be our final meeting,” he noted.
Sowore, whose younger brother was shot dead last year, revealed that his grandmother had tattoos on her arms, legs and back.
