Here is what was reported of the incident, nothing stating he was drunk or speeding.
May his soul rest in peace! cry cry cry cry cry cry


As we reportedly exclusively earlier, Dagrin is still at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, where Doctors are working hard to stabilise his condition after a nasty crash that left him comatose, yesterday.

We have now obtained pictures of Dagrin, lying in hospital, as well as those of his badly-damaged car…

Here’s what happened exactly, according to our reporter who visited LUTH today

He went to his father’s place at Meiran on Tuesday and left 7pm the
same day for his fried’s place. The friend’s name is James. He was
leaving James place on Wednesday morning at 2am.

The incident happened infront of Alakara Police Station in Mushin

The truck was parked outside the police station on the road. The truck
was a truck delivering cement. He ran under the truck and his car was
crushed.

The police removed Dagrin’s plate number before his folks who had
rushed him to the hospital came back to the scene.

He first rushed to T & S (Tai Solarin) Hospital at Olosha in Mushin
and the doctor advised the family to take him to LUTH for intensive
care since they don’t have the facilities required.Though they gave
him first aid there.

He has been unconscious since the incident, but 5.49pm Thursday
evening, the family got relaxed that he is getting conscious.

His father and Tunde went in to see him at 5.35pm after a long wait
outside without anyone being allowed inside the ward he is being
treated.

He had a cut in his face, jaw and a swollen head, but no fracture.

Re: Da Grin Is Dead! by canuck(m): 7:32pm On Apr 23, 2010
Never heard of Da Grin until a couple of hours ago. (OK, my bad)

Having watched his vids on Youtube, the public wailing and mourning make perfect sense. Whao, the guy was distinctive, daring and diligent.

*Now, what's with the conflicting news - Is he dead or alive? Someone should check his pulse and get back to the nation!*

This guy seems very influential even though I never listened to him.

These posts are making me sad. He was only 23? Very young.

R.I.P Da Grin.

Re: Da Grin Is Dead! by nana(f): 8:02pm On Apr 23, 2010
After the death of MJ,I thought I would never have to shed tears for a star. Da Grin came into the scene and held my heart captive with his songs. Was sad when I heard about the accident. My friends and I couldn't stop talking and wishing him a quick recovery. I was even looking forward to listening to teh single hit he would drop after his discharge from the hospital but alas! Death cheated. To actually think that this dude was my agemate, Quite sad!

Listening to Thank God ft Omawumi,all I can say is that dude never lived up to the lyrics of that songs. As in,this guy was talented! I wished he was going to be round for a very long time!

Goodnight CEO!

Really? How so? Someone please fill me in.

I don't believe the 40+ yrs crowd can say that much about Obey, KSA, or Late Fela.

Whao - This Da Grin guy was clearly legendary. Looks like my people have a brotherhood/fraternal connection to the guy.

@ Nana

Talent aside (awards, etc), what was the attraction to Da Grin for you? Please help me understand. Was he kind? Soft-spoken? Approachable? Philanthropic? Civic-minded? Role model? Challenged status-quo? What was it?

He did what he did for Nigeria and by this Nigerian standard, he rode like a giant. He had beef with no one. His humility was beyond par, His life was a struggle and when he started coming up, he wasn't blinded by the fame. Dagrin understood the fans were his life source. I can't continue, I suddenly feel weak. Dagrin was my brother, he connected to me and I'm going to miss him terribly

@arkinses
Thank you very much. Whao. Simply, whao.

Other comments are welcomed to help those of us who know squat about Da Grin. Sounds like he was a great guy.

Was he kind? I wouldn't know about that cos,I don't know him personally

Soft-spoken? Yes! I once watched the interview some lady(cant remember her name) did with him,I love the way way he interacted with the lady. I loved the way he composed himself. He didn't let fame get in his way.

Role-Model? Nah,got no role model

Civic-minded? Whatever that means

He captivated many hearts with his type of music.
