A Nigerian man, Chinedu Victor Ogba, has remembered his father, Sunday Okechukwu Ogba, and two siblings, Chigozirim (17) and Eberechi (14), who d!ed alongside four extended family members after eating suya on August 25, 2021, in Umueze Umuakanu, Umuahia North, Abia State.
The deceased persons started vomiting after eating the roasted meat delicacy and d!ed shortly after.
Marking their fourth anniversary, Chinedu wrote on Facebook:
“Today marks four years since I lost my beloved dad and my dear siblings in an unexpected tragedy that changed my life forever. Not a day passes without thoughts of you all. I choose today to honor your lives, the love you gave, the laughter we shared, and the bond we will always carry. Rest on, Dad. Rest on, my dear siblings. Your memories remain my treasure, and I will continue to live in a way that makes you proud.”
The tragedy left Mrs. Jessy Chinonyerem Ogba and her daughter Ijeoma Blessing as the only survivors after being hospitalized.
In other news….. Nigerian social media users were taken aback after a young screenwriter publicly accused Davido on Elon Musk’s platform, X, of using her intellectual property without credit.
In a series of posts, the writer explained that she had emailed Davido’s team multiple times, sharing her creative vision for the music video of “10 Kilo,” a track from his 5IVE album, which recently released its visuals.
She revealed that she had sent daily emails, eager to contribute her ideas and help bring her concept for the video to life.
After receiving no response, she eventually stepped back, assuming her script wasn’t strong enough. But when the video premiered shortly after Davido’s wedding, she noticed striking similarities.
According to her posts, much of her original script including key themes and concepts had been incorporated into the music video, albeit with minor modifications.
In her words:
“I wrote a script for @davido‘s 10KILO sometime in April and pitched it to Davido and his team in May. I was sending emails almost every other day because I was determined to be part of the project if they decided to put out a video for the song.”
“The last time I reached out was on the 21st of May, but I never got any feedback. I just told myself maybe the script wasn’t good enough, or maybe they simply didn’t like it. So I stopped sending those emails. I even made posts here on X about the script.”
“That’s why it broke me when the video directed by @directorpink_ dropped this month, and I saw a substantial part of my script: the very core theme and idea, right there in the video (though with a few tweaks).”
