Toke Makinwa Celebrates The Memory Of Her Parents 25years After They Were Killed In A Fire Accident

Today marks the 25th death anniversary of Toke Makinwa's parents. The couple died in a tragic fire accident at their Abuja home. Toke was just 8 when her 35 year old father, Caleb Ifemayowa Makinwa, and 34 year old mother, Modupe Monica Makinwa, died after suffering serious injuries from a gas cylinder explosion in their home. Celebrating their memories today, Toke wrote;

"In the arms of an Angel..... May you find some comfort here. Since I was born and now as I am getting older, I have never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed beg for bread. Today makes it 24 years since we lost you Mom and Dad, the years haven't been easy but your God has been faithful.

The greatest legacy and inheritance you left behind was the knowledge of Him. You served him, you loved him, you brought up your children in his way and when the enemy called it a tragedy, God rose up for you both. You never got to hear the words well done but today I call your memories blessed, today I celebrate you both for the values you had. If you were here today I know you both would be great. God has taken care of us all in your absence, God has provided, God has kept us. Today I celebrate the souls of the faithful departed, you saw Jesus at the point of your passing and anytime I feel afraid I call on the name of Jesus. You have both become angels, I find comfort in that. Watch over us always".

I Would Venture Into Politics Later In Life-- Cobhams Asuquo Reveals

Visually impaired Nigerian musician, Cobhams Asuquo, has revealed that he has an interest in Nigerian politics and will be venturing into it soon.

According to him, someone with a heart for people, who would do things differently, needs to be voted in into any key position.


“I would venture into politics later in life. I might also become a preacher. I would want to
venture into politics because I feel like someone needs to step up and take position of leadership, someone with the heart for people and one who would do things differently. I am not the most perfect person in the world but I definitely have good intentions and I intend to translate them into results. That is how I live my life. I learn and get better and I think I am building the skills for leadership,” he said.

Saturday beats also reported that Cobhams disclosed that he knows a lot people who are not corrupt, and who won't allow corrupt politicians knock off the dream of, doing something good for the people.

“I know a lot of people who are not corrupt and they want to venture into politics. So what should we do? Because the political space is filled with corrupt people we should do nothing about it and let corruption reign? We have to try. We have already hit rock bottom and the only way to go is up; so it is worth trying.”

The singer who just released his album also said;

“I feel like there comes a time when your own voice has to be heard to share your message. It is not something that must happen but in my case, I feel like there is a mandate to do it, so I am doing it. A lot of musicians I know are not very comfortable with their own voice. I started appreciating my voice about five years ago.”
