I really don't know dis guy until his accident and only checked out his music now. He was just full of talent and beyond d sky was his limit n why did he have to go too soon. I'm sad today for he died wayyy too soon! I weep even though I don't know him bc he was full of life! I really don't know what to say and when I first read about the accident and saw the car--i thought he was lucky to be alive n when i saw him in d hospital bed, i never thought he would die. i can't help d feeling dat maybe he should hv been taken to a better hospital or maybe bc someone else mentioned it dat he didn't look like he was getting d best care. i'm just so sad!!! May his soul rest in peace.Amen!

Too unfortunate...

I pray for the Comfort of the Holy Spirit to assuage the family's pains.

ALL IS VANITY, life is too short.

When I'm passionate about living for CHRIST, it's not because I'm "foolish" as the world might think, but it's because CHRIST IS TRULY MY PEACE IN THIS IMPERFECT LIFE AND IN DEATH. I don't have to pretend to anyone, but this is the truth I experience and know, which I must share...Nothing else makes sense.

God will not pay such a dear price as the sacrifice of His only Son for you to seek eternal life or peace through your own "goodness" or "works" or through any other means. If na you, you go gree? (Romans 5:8-10)

Confessing and living for Christ is the only thing that makes sense. If He's truly Lord of your life, you will know, your heart will have His PEACE and YOU DON'T HAVE TO FEAR DEATH or uncertainty. If not seek Him, find Him, confess Him and LIVE FOR HIM (Jeremiah 29:11-13)(Romans 10:9-10,11,13)

For nothing I shall be ashamed...to live is Christ, to DIE IS GAIN (Phillipians 1:20,21)

Once again my heart and prayers go out to his family, out on the road of pain.

Gone too soon.

Unbelievable. Waz watching his interview on soundcity earlier on, he looked happy and eager. He waz going places. I weep. I swear I do. My twitter timeline waz jammed for bout an hour cuz the dagrin tweets were just too much. The love ppl had for him, truly came out. He had genuine fans. This is too touching. A wake up call. #DAMN!

It's a sad thing that one of Nigeria's greatest talents and human left us in such a way we can never absorb easily. My hrt is heavy, I am sad, Tears rolling down my eyes. Can't believe he lived a life of a CANDLE IN THE WIND. Dagrin where ever you are. I truly love you. R.I.P

preye said...

i also didn't know da grin. wow. i knew he would die after i heard of how the accident happened. they should have taken him to a big hospital. and does anyone know the actual cause of death? i know it was an accident. but maybe internal bleeding? or maybe something? i dunno. but the pictures i saw didn't look too bad compared to the description of the accident and the mage of his crushed car. i wished and hoped he would survive. even though i didn't know him as a musician till about 2 days ago, death is a very sad thing and i wish his family and friends the best. please ppl be careful with these trailers in naija. they have killed so many ppl. i have a phobia for trailers and big trucks.

Full of talent and a bright future. How people allow youthful exuberance cut short their destiny and life. I hope this will teach others a lesson. What was he doing on the road by 3.00am on that fateful day? May God grant his family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.

It's so sad and depressing hearing about this young mans'death. Our government need to be more responsible by ensuring that we install lights on our highway roads. This is something that could have been averted if the relevant authorities had done their job.

Such a waste of young life with limitless possibilities. Why should we continue to have stationary trucks on the roads? I'm really depressed.

Words cannot explain the depth of the sadness I feel.
though I didn't know him nor paid particular attention to his songs, his death has affected me on a personal level and I will forever regret that I was quick to blame him for the accident and did not say a word of prayer for his healing.
I pray God grants his family the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable gem.

I don't know him, but when I saw the accident crash, I was shocked and couldn't believe it. R.I.P Da Grin. Makes me realize that life is too short, so live a life worthy of christ.

@ Rare poster, mehn, you said some deep things, that got me thinking so hard. Do you have a blog or something, so I can check it out.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
ANNONYMOUS 6;59A.M
YOU ARE A DEMON FROM THE PITS OF HELL ITSELF.

SOMEONE JUST LOST HIS LIFE,WHETHER VIA YOUTHFUL EXUBERANCE OR WHATEVER YOUR JUDGEMENTAL SELF MIGHT CHOOSE TO CALL IT,AND ALL YOU CAN THINK OF TYPING IS SUCH HURTFUL WORDS.

DO YOU HONESTLY THINK THAT IS WHAT HIS FAMILY AND LOVED ONES NEED TO BE READING ABOUT NOW?OR BEING REMINDED OF?

PEOPLE DIE EVERYDAY,VIA DIFFERENT MEANS,WHETHER COMING BACK FROM PARTIES,OR JUST STEPPING OUT OF THEIR HOMES AND GETTING HIT BY VEHICLES ETC.

HOWEVER WE ALL DIE IS ALREADY WRITTEN,AND WE CANNOT CHANGE IT.YOU ARE IN NO POSITION TO PASS ANY SNIDE COMMENTS,DO YOU KNOW HOW YOURS IS WRITTEN?


DO YOU KNOW WHETHER YOU WILL DIE ON TOP OF YOUR WIFE/HUSBAND/GIRFLRIEND/BOYFRIEND?
SHOULD YOU THEN BE JUDGED?CALLED A SEX ADDICT?

WHAT IS NEW UNDER THE SUN?

I AM SO DISGUSTED BY VARIOUS COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE(ON OTHER SITES ALSO OF COURSE) WHO REFUSE TO SEE THAT THE REAL ISSUE IS NOT HOW HE DIED,BUT THE FACT THAT THE SO CALLED HOSPITAL HE WAS AT HAD DOCTORS ON STRIKE(?),THAT IN A COUNTRY WITH SO MUCH MONEY,A TRAILER WOULD BE PARKED AT SUCH A DANGEROUS SPOT WITH NO FACILITIES TO HAVE TOWED IT AWAY.AND I CAN BET MY LEFT BREAST,THERE WERE NO PARAMEDICS ON THE SPOT OR 999 TO CALL INITIALLY WHEN THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED.

EVEN IF DEATH IS A DEBT WE ALL HAVE TO PAY,AT THE SAME TIME,WE AS A NATION SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH AVOIDABLE ISSUES LIKE BAD ROADS,DOCTORS ON STRIKE,TERRIBLE HOSPITALS,ETC ETC.

I HOPE ALL THOSE WHO ARE SO QUICK TO JUDGE AND JUMP INTO CONCLUSIONS,NEVER GO THROUGH THE PAINS OF LOSING A LOVED ONE VIA WHATEVER MEANS.
TRUST ME,ALL YOU WOULD THINK ABOUT IS HAVING THAT PERSON BACK ALIVE AND NOT WHETHER HE WAS PANDERING TO YOUTHFUL EXUBERANCE OR OUT AT 3 IN THE MORNING.

OR DO ACCIDENTS NOT HAPPEN IN THE AFTERNOONS TOO?WOULD IT HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE IF HE DIED IN A CAR ACCIDENT TIMED AT 3P.M?

**SORRY LINDA FOR GOING ON,AND TYPING IN CAPS***
I WAS TOO FAR GONE BY THE TIME I REALISED.

MAY DA GRINS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE AND MAY HIS FAMILY BE GRANTED THE FORTITUDE TO BEAR THE GREAT LOSS,AND MAY THEY KNOW THAT THOSE OF US THAT APPRECIATE TRUE TALENT MOURN WITH THEM, AND HIS MUSIC AND WORDS SHALL LIVE ON IN OUR HEARTS COLLECTIVELY.
R.I.P

Will try and keep you informed or perhaps you can watch out for future posts.

Please check out the scripture references for more guidance.
