When Doctors sent him home to spend time with his family,they gave him three weeks to live,his body had been rravaged by colon cancer.......He didnt last up to one week at home.he diied a few hours ago.

see his last telephone conversation with Azuka Jebose, ace journalist and former Entertainment Editor of The Punch.



During a telephone conversation yesterday night with Mustapha, his voice waning, weak and frail, barely audible, he expressed appreciations for the support, empathy that blanketed his life since his family went public with his health challenges.


“ Zuky,I just wished God would give me more time to thank every Nigerian. I am grateful to have been born Nigerian. I hope someday we would resolve our various differences and live as one Nigeria, be as great as the United States. We are a resilient people, regardless of our diversity.


Where else can you find a unique ethnic peoples under one nation, with beautiful and diversified cultures, peoples, traditions and customs?.Nigeria is such a glorious nation and I pray the powers that be would someday allow our children to tell the stories of our resilience and our great people. Zuky, I thank you, Joel, Jude, Alex Zitto, and everybody. I am at peace and have accepted my circumstance. I don’t have much time left. But I am fulfilled... I want to be remembered as a son, a father who did his best to reach out, remember me as somebody who, despite disagreements, always found ways to put myself in people’s shoes. Zuky, it’s in God’s hands now. And I am happy, man, because I started this life’s journey with half full cup and filled it , it was difficult, but I filled it. I am fulfilled”.





*Mustapha Amego is Nigerian musician who relocated to the US almost two decades ago when his music was not bear hugged by Nigerians..He had a monstrous fan base who were sad to hear he had relocated and nothing had been heard of him for many many years until his illness was announced by his family.

angel TI: Never heard his name or story before. RIP sir

Guess you are under 20yrs but if you were versatile you would have reasoned he was somebody who paid his dues to his fatherland, considering he was PMAN President at a point. Learn not to display ignorance on public forum. RIP Amego.

Any sense in your comment?

Odukes:

wtf?

1. It is not everybody who is above 20 that has heard of Mustapha Amego.
2. Even if you were "versatile", how the hell can you "reason" that a person you have never heard of, did all these things?
3. And how can admitting you have never heard of said musician (from the 80s and who relocated to the US decades ago) be seen as displaying ignorance?

Talk about displaying *ignorance on public forum*!!

That aside, rest in peace Mustapha. May your friends and loved ones have the courage to bear your loss.

Too sad. Rip man. May God be with his family

MAY THE SOUL OF THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED REST IN PEACE,FUNKY MALLAM AS MEDIA-MEN USED TO CALL HIM WAY BACK WAS THE BRAIN BEHIND THE SUCCESSFUL HOSTING OF THE FIRST NIGERIAN MUSIC AWARD,DURING HIS TIME AS PMAN PRESIDENT,HE RAISED THE BAR OF THE ASSOCIATION. R.I.P
