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)
We will be there on the 13th God willing to be part of the great icon's send off. We will keep you all in our prayers as you deal with this great loss, we won't forget him even if he didn't leave us on Memorial day weekend.
Uje na do ni Osara, eiduolenovien..... We will be there to show our respect to a true son of Africa next Friday for sure. I encourage all our brothers who aren't busy to skip happy hour and pay respect to this great warrior.
Dear Sokosun, Our heartfelt sympathies go out to you and your family...Find strength and peace in this challenging and difficult time. Know that he was loved by millions.RIP Great friend, father and Humanitarian! You lived and fought for Africa and freedom, May you rest in eternal peace brother Sonny OKOSUN.
Imagine this legend complaining of corruption as far back as 1980 when Nigeria was still an eldorado. I wish he is alive to see the REAL kwaraption going on now 😄😄😄
Sonny is an immense talent, a trail blazer and above all an inspiration. Well said Soul too Soul and thanks a whole bunch Oronbaba for the beautiful post.We need more of him, i almost cried watching this.
I am shocked to hear that Okosun is no more. He loved is country and his people so much that he always sing to raise their spirit. He gave a good fight to survive this cancer but God has spoken. R.I.P. brother.

Accept our condolences Sidney, I am saddened by your dad's death like everyone else because it is so untimely. I pray he soul rests in peace until the Lord appears in the clouds on judgment day. Keep us updated on wake keeping plans in the DMV. All Africans should grieve for this great man from Ishan, ibhiesan riobhowe!

"Life is like a walking shadow. A poor player that struts and frets it's time upon the stage and then is heard no more. It's a story told by an idiot....signifying nothing" (Shakespeare Macbeth). THE GREAT OZZIDI KING HAS PLAYED HIS TIME AND LEFT THE STAGE. MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE, AMEN.
Can someone tell me what the reggae song in the middle of this video is called? Peace and Bless Respect to the yute dem big up AFRICA WHERE WE COME FROM RESPESCT!
May Your soul RIP!! 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..
Rest on , the African greatest freedom fighter.
You came and you conquered..
Il a vraiment bercé mon enfance malgré que je ne comprenais rien de tout ce qu'il disait dans ses chansons. Thanks you l'artiste. Rip
Onyeka Owenu recorded her first song in Sunny Okosun studio in London
Very good group, he was very inclusive that's what I call group work!
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
