The burial arrangements for late gospel musician Omije Ojumi, also known as Bunmi Akinnaanu, have been officially cancelled.
The development was announced by her colleague, Lanre Alewilese, in a statement shared via Instagram on behalf of the burial planning committee.
According to Alewilese, the decision to suspend all burial activities was taken due to an ongoing crisis within the late singer’s family, which has made it impossible to proceed with the planned ceremonies.
“This is to inform you that all burial plans of our late sister and colleague, Bunmi Akinnaanu, have been cancelled over issues arising within her family. We’re deeply sorry for the inconveniences,” Alewilese stated.
The announcement comes just days after the committee had earlier disclosed that the gospel artiste would be laid to rest on Wednesday, January 20, 2026.
The sudden cancellation has left fans, colleagues, and members of the gospel music community in shock, as preparations were already underway for the final rites.
As of the time of filing this report, no new burial date has been announced, and details of the family dispute have not been made public. Further updates are expected once the issues are resolved.
In other news…. A Nigerian lady has ignited discussions on social media after making a bold claim about why some men are drawn to “independent women” in relationships.
In a video that went viral on X (formerly Twitter) and shared by @Teniola, she suggested that men’s interest in financially self-sufficient women often stems more from convenience than genuine admiration.
She explained that men may prefer women who earn their own income because it makes it easier to borrow money when needed.
As she put it:
“The reason why men want an independent woman is to borrow money from them. There’s no woman I know that hasn’t borrowed a guy money.”
Her comment quickly sparked debate online. Many women agreed with her perspective based on personal experiences, while others argued that independence should not be equated with being a source of financial support for men.
One social media user responded, “Not all men, but some definitely feel entitled to women’s money.” Another added, “Being independent doesn’t mean being a loan bank.”
