    Sammie Okposo’s death: Reggae singer, Faya calls on musicians to watch out on their lifestyle

    Following the sudden death of Nigeria’s gospel singer, Sammie Okposo, reggae artiste, Faya, has called on musicians in the country to watch out for their lifestyle, stressing that “we are living in a serious time right now.”

    Faya, in an interview with TheNewsGuru.com (TNG), noted that apart from Okposo’s sudden death, a renowned disc jockey (DJ), Lucky Rankin, also passed on in a similar manner on Monday.

    “Lucky Rankin played in a nightclub till about 12 midnight, went home, slept and died on Monday morning. We have to watch out for our lifestyle. If we look at all these things, we still need to talk to ourselves,” he said.

    Speaking on Okposo’s demise, the reggae artiste expressed bitterness about how the deceased was treated by Christians after his sex scandal.

    “Sammie Okposo had his flops; but even if we have to correct him or chastise him, we have to do that with love. Many people are of the view that he (Okposo) was not treated very well- with the way they tried to push him out of the church, boycott his concerts and so many things. One man of God said how the pastors slayed Sammie Okposo,” he added.

    According to him, Christianity today is not what it ought to be. Christianity is supposed to be a Christ life type, look at how Christ would behave in certain scenarios and how a non-Christian should behave.

    Faya hinted that all the songs he is working on presently are to see how he could preach to people, tell them that “this life we are living in, we have to go back at ourselves.”

    He urged Christians to look back at the old religion and expressed his condolences to members of Okposo’s family.

    Lagbaja, Mansion Piller, Faya, others set Lagos hotel on fire

    Legendary Afrobeat singer, Bisade Ologunde, popularly known as Lagbaja, and other Nigerian musicians have brought the heat to Oko-Afo area of Lagos State on Sunday night as they performed at Turning Touch Hotel stage.

    The CEO of conscious music Entartamant, Mansion Piller, was the first to take the stage. He thrilled fans with his  “No be God” song and dropped something from his new project.

    He was then joined by the Legend, Lagbaja, to give the audience a link-up that was never expected.

    Reggae artist, Faya, held spectators at the event spellbound as he took over the stage to chant some of his recent vibes and later did a freestyle for his long awaiting fans.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that the event started at 7 pm till midnight, with exhilarating performances by various upcoming artists.

    One of the best moments of the night was when the masked genius (Lagbaja) left the stage to meet his fans while performing his dance hit “Konko Below- Pade mi ni sale” from the album “Me”.

    It was gathered that Ologunde adopted the name Lágbájá (meaning “Jane Doe” or “John Doe”- A person whose name, and identity is intentionally concealed in Yoruba) as he embarked on his career in the early 90s.

    His name was reflected in his choice of stage attire- a slitted textile and rubber mask adopted so that the artist represented the ‘common man’ in keeping with the carnival tradition of his Yoruba tribe.

    Lagbaja formed his first small band in 1991 in Lagos after he had taught himself to play the saxophone. With a high quotient of percussion instruments including congas and talking drums.

    His album “We Before Me”, which was released in 2000, demanded honesty from politicians and urged brotherhood and unity.

    Speaking on the event, the CEO of Turning Touch Hotel, Collins Ubamachukwu Emeka, pointed out that music, just like football, brings Nigerians together and makes people happy.

    Collins noted that since Nigeria could not qualify for the ongoing World Cup in Qatar, he decided to use music to put smiles on the faces of the Nigerian youths.

    The owner of the top-notch hotel at Oko-Afo asserted that only if those scouting for players for the national team can pick players across the federation, based on merit, Nigeria would provide the best team in the world.
