Funke Bucknor Shares Emotional Post On Dealing With Tosyn Bucknor’s Death

Published

Two months after the shocking death of Nigerian radio presenter, Tosyn Bucknor , her elder sister, Funke Bucknor has shared a lengthy note on life without her sister and how she has been dealing with her loss.

Tosyn Bucknor, who worked for Inspiration Fm, was found dead by her husband, Aurelien Boyer, in their home after she died from sickle cell complications in November 2018.

Funke Bucknor , who runs an event planning company, in a post on her Instagram page wrote:

“You know how sometimes people say that a sermon or music was just for them when they went to church?

“That happened to me today with a song by our choir ( the sounds of heaven and the psalmist ) at @myjoshuaville

Ever since my sister died I hadn’t been able to go to church. Yes , I attended meetings etc but I just couldn’t or didn’t see myself being in a service.

“I was angry and hurt and just still couldn’t understand why she had to die or why this happened to my family. I generally don’t like dealing with emotions and I tend to just push them aside or away. I did this when my dad died as I didn’t cry till Tosyn’s death.

“With Tosyn the emotions are totally different and I wanted to lash out at God. Infact I’ve had many conversations with Him on why He let it happen. Those answers haven’t come oh but the song about trusting Him in church today really helped and will help towards the healing process.

“This is for anyone going through any form of grief ( you lost a friend, sibling, parent or child or relation). It’s ok to be angry

It’s ok to be hurt

It’s ok to be in denial

It’s ok to be upset

It’s ok to feel guilty

It’s ok to feel pain

It’s ok ……………..

But don’t stop trusting in God

But don’t stop talking about your pain

But don’t stop living ……………………..

We will get healing

We will still feel the pain but it gets numb with time

We will still talk about what we miss about them.

We will be ok ……..

The media personality, a graduate of law from the University of Lagos, was born with sickle cell anaemia.

Plantashun Boiz attempted reunions failed because I wasn’t invited, says Blackface

Blackface, the Nigerian dancehall singer, says Plantashun Boiz, a defunct music group, multiple attempts to reunite failed because he was not included.

Formed in 2000 with 2Baba and Faze, Plantashun Boiz disbanded in 2004 but briefly reunited in 2007 for an album.

In a recent episode of the ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ podcast, the host asked Blackface if there was any chance that the group might come back together.

The singer disclosed that his colleagues had attempted to reunite without him but were unsuccessful.

“Without me, they have tried and they have failed. Many times. You saw them in all those shows that they were going,” he said.

“They tried but they failed. But what I must say is I’m the plantation. So let it be known. Forget the fake memo that they spread before.”

In September, Blackface called for the reunion of the defunct music group.

He urged fans to join the mission, emphasising that “unity is strength, not division”.

“My people oya make una talk put mouth for this matter! We are on a mission for world peace and it’s not a small-time thing,” he said in pidgin English.

Since 2015, Blackface constantly tackled 2Baba for recording 2004 hit ‘African Queen’ which he claimed he wrote.

In 2017, he argued that 2Baba “sabotaged” his career in the music industry.

Despite feud, Peter Okoye celebrates Paul on 43rd birthday

Peter ‘Mr P’ Okoye, the Nigerian singer, has celebrated Paul ‘Rudeboy’ Okoye, his twin brother, on their 43rd birthday amid their ongoing feud.

The twin brothers have been in the public eyes since their second fallout in August.

They had their first rift in 2017 which led to the dissolution of Psquare, their music brand. Though they reunited in November 2021, their reconciliation was short-lived.

Paul recently revealed another fallout, accusing Peter of orchestrating his arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Peter, however, denied the allegations and accused Jude Okoye, their older brother, of diverting millions of dollars from their joint account into a secret company.

Responding to the accusations, Jude said he had done everything possible, even “sacrificing himself,” to mend the rift between his brothers.

In an Instagram post on Monday, Peter shared several photos showcasing their growth over the years.

He also celebrated their birthday while wishing himself as well as his twin brother more wins.

Wizkid’s group of fans collectively known as “Wizkid FC” are popular for their vehement support for Wizkid and their antagonism toward those considered his rivals.

Tiwa Savage is the latest artist to call out Wizkid FC for harassment after some members of the fanbase mocked her for releasing a song on the same day as Wizkid.

On November 15, 2024, Ruger released his new song ‘Toma Toma’ featuring Tiwa Savage which she shared on her Instagram page with the caption “Told yall this one is special. The @rugerofficial called and I answered”.

In response, a Wizkid fan said “Dey play, nothing special pass Wizzy hits”.

The reply rubbed off wrongly on Tiwa Savage who said “Because I am promoting music? WTF…y’all are not fans anymore ooo you guys are actual bullies”.
