    Rest in peace Sonny Okosuns. He remains one of the best Nigerian of our generation. He deserves a National honor and befitting burial such as we witnessed during Fela Anikulapo's funeral. Rest in peace Bros Sonny. We shall greatly miss you

    Along with Fela, Sonny Okosun through his music enlightened Africa about Pan Africanism when the educational system did the opposite. Thanks for the memories and your legacy will live on...Ashe!

    Thanks for posting this video and many others... I've never seen any vids of him in this manner. RIP, sir... I was born and grew up a couple of streets from his family's house - Ladipo way in Obele Odan, Surelere, and went to school with his nieces and nephew (Oyatedors)

    What a shame to so-called country called Nigeria! not long ago this true 'ambassador' was left to his fate with no help coming from the country that he served.. It was an Indian man who was willing to pay his medical bills.
    Now he is dead and as usual, the thieves in power want to use giving him a 'so-called state burial' to steal. I am sure he is rejecting such nonsense just like Achebe rejected their useless 'national award'the; oon, obe, itt, sap, ofn, hiv, iwu, obj, ibb..
