Christy Essien-Igbokwe, also known as "Apena" (New Masquerade) left this World yesterday morning.
Incidentally, after doing some Tweets with LADYGUIDE, re: #nametheartist yesterday, I just kept singing some of her songs. I was going down memory lane... So you can imagine my shock when I heard the news yesterday evening, that this wonderful woman died early yesterday morning. It only means, while I was singing her songs, she had left this plane...
Apart from "Omo mi seun re re" she also has some other hit songs such as "Give me a Chance" and "Time waits for no one". I remember her album, because the plate was the only LP with a green colour.
She will surely be remembered and missed. I pray that God grants her family the fortitude to bear the loss.
REST IN PEACE AUNTY CHRISTY!
