Nigeria’s entertainment industry has been thrown into mourning following the deaths of four personalities who contributed to music, film, television and personal development within a few days.
The wave of grief began with the passing of juju musician, Iyun Ajilore, popularly known as Saint Janet.
The singer, who was known for her unique blend of traditional juju and highlife rhythms with street slang and humour, was celebrated for her energetic performances and bold lyrics.
Ajilore, who described herself as the leader, or “G O of the Saint Bottles Cathedral and Sinners’ Chapel”, died on August 1 after a brief illness.
Her death sparked an outpouring of tributes from fans, fellow musicians and socialites, who remembered her as one of the most colourful entertainers of her generation.
