A Day Before The Coma, Truth About What Happened To her

A close friend to Kefee explains what happened to the gospel singer in her last days in the US before she went into the coma that led to her death.
He wrote; 

‘So sad, this has got to be one of the saddest moments in my life. There should be some corrections though. She was on a flight from Los Angeles to Chicago, but she collapsed and was taken to a hospital in Las Vegas. She died in Vegas but she didn’t die pf pregnancy complications.  I was with her the day before she collapsed. She had been in Los Angeles already. She performed at Gospel Faith Mission House of Testimony on Sunday.
The next day, Monday, she was shooting a music video in Hollywood, CA. I was one of her camera guys. She seemed fine that day, and I could see nothing wrong with her at all. She was happy, smiling, dancing, laughing and enjoying herself.

There was a whole crew and we spent the entire day shooting the video. The next day, she was supposed to board a plane to Chicago for what I believe was either another concert or another video shoot, I’m not exactly sure but as she boarded the plane and they took off, she collapsed. The pilots were forced to land the plane in Las Vegas, Nevada and there she was taken to the hospital.
She’s been in a coma ever since and now this. She’s passed and my heart is heavy. I had so much fun shooting her video. And if you could see all the excitement was caused, you would be so happy. It is a sad moment indeed. I just can’t believe this. R.I.P. because you served the Lord well Kefee. R.I.P.’

Pregnant Woman Commits Suicide In Edo

A middle-aged woman in Akoko-Edo Local Government Area of Edo State, Ometere Aduga, has reportedly committed suicide.

The mother of two, who was said to be pregnant, was said to have committed the act by hanging herself with a rope she fastened to a ceiling fan.
Her unclad body was reportedly discovered in her apartment hours after she did not come out of bathroom, where she said she was going.
A neighbour said the victim had, a few days ago, visited a private hospital, where she was said to have told the hospital personnel of her intention to commit suicide because of a pregnancy she was carrying.
She was said to have been counselled against the act and told to report back on Monday for medical examination and counselling.
“Ometere was a very brilliant girl who was a 300- level medical student at the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, before she withdrew due to health reasons. She also had some mental disorder but later recovered and married. Her husband is not from here, so she has been staying with her parents,” a family friend said.
When contacted, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Hilary Udoh, confirmed the incident, saying, “yes, it is true and the parents said they have taken it in good faith.”

SERAP, Others Support Life Imprisonment For Corrupt Public Officers

Some lawyers in Lagos on Friday hailed the recommendation by the National Conference delegates in Abuja to punish corrupt public officers with life imprisonment.
The lawyers told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that such a punishment would reduce corruption in the country.
Mr Adetokunbo Mumuni, Executive Director, Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), a rights advocacy group, blamed corruption for the insecurity and poverty being faced by Nigerians.
“SERAP is in total support of any law that will help to reduce corruption, but it must be properly enforced.
“The problem of Nigeria is not lack of laws but lack of the political will to enforce such laws,” Mumuni said.
A human rights lawyer, Mr Fred Agbaje, noted that corruption was punishable with death in some advanced countries.
Agbaje said:”Being that the death penalty is going out of practice, the recommendation for life imprisonment of corrupt officers is acceptable.’’
He added that people convicted of corruption should also forfeit their assets to the government.
“In other words, once you are convicted of corruption or other corruption related offences, apart from life imprisonment, you should be made to forfeit all your assets to the government,” he said.
In his reaction, Mr Adebamigbe Omole, a former Chairman of the Ikeja Branch of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), told NAN that the recommendation was a welcome development.
Omole said: “Except we begin to do things like this, corruption will continue to be an endemic thing in this country.
“In fact, I would have recommended death penalty because, even those sentenced to life imprisonment, can be pardoned in future.
“They will be free to enjoy their ill-gotten wealth to the detriment of the nation.”

R.I.P: Another Young Nigerian Musician Dies

This month hasn’t been a very good month for Nigerian entertainers.

Just a week after the tragic news about gospel singer Kefee’s death rocked Nigeria, another young musician passed away in her 20s.

The fast rising Imo State-born artiste Cynthia Akudo Jonah, aka Cynthomania (or Ada Owerri), was said to have died on June 18 following the brief illness.

Cynthia recently released a single “Ukwu Ajebutter”, was set to drop her debut album soon.

The sad news was officially provided by Cynthomania’s manager who didn’t give any further details.

May her tender soul rest in peace.

Meet The Woman Who Predicted Kefee’s Death

I came across this report and decided to share.

I saw it in the Vanguard that a Nigerian female talking drummer, Ara, who is a friend to late Kefee, says she had a dream concerning Kefee’s death and that she had called the late singer to pray hard to avert it.

In her words: 

“I want to use this forum to appeal to my colleagues in the music industry. Less than two years ago, I had a dream about Keffee and immediately called her and narrated it to her, I also appealed to her not to make a joke of it….the rest is history.

Early this year, I had a dream and contacted Efe of NOW music as he’s the only one Icould call and told him to please organise a forum for all musicians to assemble and pray against death amongst us (please confirm from Efe). It’s sad we had to lose my girlfriend, sister and colleague…so sad. When a revelation comes like that, it means there is a way out. Once again, we need to come together as a body under one roof to rebuke and pray about this revelation I had early this year. Yes, we all have different sources of prayer but this is a prayer we all must observe together. I beg you all. I didn’t want to speak out but I have no choice than to”.
