Death of a music icon – OJB Jezreel

Singer and producer, OJB Jezreel died at the age of 49 in June in a Lagos hospital.

Jezreel had been diagnosed with kidney failure in 2013, undergoing a kidney transplant in the same year.

Mabel, his first wife had donated a kidney to help save her ailing husband’s life.

Fast forward to this year, the kidney transplant failed completely.

Stephen Keshi bade us farewell
Former Super Eagles player and coach, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi’s death was one of the saddest incidents in 2016.

On July 7th, the ‘Big Boss’ as he was fondly called died of a heart attack at the age of 54.

Keshi won the AFCON championship as both a player and a coach.

However, the legend did not get a funeral befitting of his status from the Nigerian government.

His funeral had no single representative from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) or the Federal Government in attendance.
