Okojie, who broke the news of his passing on Thursday, February 16, 2017 was quite thankful for the support her father provided in choosing a career.
“My hero and father has gone to be with Jesus. He made such great impact in my life and in the lives of so many people. I’m eternally grateful to God that you walked me down the aisle.
“Quizzed my then boyfriend like every father would , gave your consent and enjoyed that day and many other months with us.
“I love you with all my heart. Thank you for believing in us (your children) and seeing to it that we all followed our passion.
“Thank you for your legacy.

Now a fully grown woman, the ‘Osemudiamen’ songster was one of the favourite music sensation that graced the late nineties.
Despite choosing the less popular gospel genre, the singer managed to capture hearts with a couple of her numbers.
She has grown into quite a lady since that time having recently gotten married to her heartthrob, Olawale Adeyina in November 2016.
“Till then, rest with Jesus Baba Benita.”
