Less than a month to the first anniversary of the tragic death of rapper Dagrin, another very bright and promising star has passed on, in very shocking circumstances.

Multiple sources are confirming to us, that fan-favourite CD John, who emerged last year as one of the most promising acts in Nigeria’s stand-up comedy industry, is dead.

The young cracker, who became a regular performer at almost every gig/concert since late 2010 when major promoters and critics first noticed him, was on his way back from Industry Nite when he crashed his car and ended up at St Nicholas Hospital, in Lagos Island.

‘He was the MC at Harrysong’s album listening party which held at Tribeca’, a source tells us. Yesterday’s Industry Nite was dedicated to Questionmark act Harrysong who is promoting his new album. ‘He was driving back to the mainland, heading to his home at Jakande estate, Isolo when the accident happened’.

‘Yes he was the host at our event yesterday’ Industry Nite’s Matthew Ohio tells NET. ‘He was invited by Questionmark and I did not even know him prior to that. It’s just so sad if it’s true’.

We cannot for now confirm the exact location the crash happened. But reliable sources say he was driving a Black Gulf 3.

‘He was rushed to St Nicholas where he gave up the ghost at around 7am’.

Colleagues Gbenga Adeyinka, Teju Babyface, Tee A, Basketmouth, Ali Baba and a certain Tee Gee are confirming that they are aware of the accident, and reports of his death. However, no one has seen a doctor’s statement or his corpse as at press time. NET reporters are on standby at the hospital, and at his home, and we will bring you details as they unfold.

‘We’re all heading there now. Everyone is heading to the hospital where we hope we’ll meet some good news’ one of the acts told us.

The late comedian, born John Chijioke, was a truly gifted singer and comedian who tried his hands first on music (as far back as 2006) before settling for stand-up comedy. ‘He used to sing but when I found out he was funny, I pushed him to join me do comedy. He had a breakthrough before me. And now that I want to be proud of him, I suddenly lost him’ his friend Tee Gee says.

‘I’ve not even seen him this year’, Teju Babyface tells NET. ‘everybody likes the boy. What’s all this now! Anyway we’re still waiting on good news from the hospital…’

‘He made me laugh at Tribeca last night, now he’s dead. Heartbreaking.’ a fan wrote on her BBM status, early this morning.

CD John will mostly be remembered for his funny Christian choruses – a unique style where he messes around with the lyrics of popular songs; presenting his own account of how different Nigerian tribes would deliver the lyrics. With a superb voice, growing repertoire and audience control; he was set to become a big player in the competitive stand-up comedy scene. Until death put a stop to all that promise.

R.I.P

what a sad passing at that tender age.

I'M PETRIFIED> tHIS GUY WAS GOOD AND UNIQUE IN HIS STYLE OF COMEDY. HE DIDNT FIND IT HARD TO MAKE ANYBODY LAUGH. NOW HE'S MAKING ME CRY. RIP JOHN CHIJIOKE. UR HILARIOUS NATURE AND SOULFUL VOICE LIVES ON.

He died the same way Dagrin died, This is what am saying,,If you think you can do Juju to become famous,,At the end of the day you will die, Yes Death will be your Portion, I do not,and i mean it never be remorseful for those who think the, y can use juju to make them an household Name,
You don't hear of occasional deaths like This in Hollywood or Bolly wood, Even if it happens,it's once in a while,like the case of Aliyah in the early 2000 and that of Elizabeth Taylor that happened yesterday, Eliz died at the ripe age of 79.
For those of you thinking of making yourselves an Household Name,and you do "jazz" as we call it, DEATH WILL ALL BE YOUR PORTION, NONE SENSE,

All the juju in the world cannot improve your grammar, nor will it wet your arid, prosthetic, 'akamulistic' brain. End of! @Topic. Rest in peace.

You simply need to have your had examined. You are just too blind to know that our roads are death trap.

r.i.p

It means that Lagos State government cannot lighting the road when is dark in Lagos which has been causing untimely death of our prominent youth? Is that how dark Lagos is?
No generator or solar power to light up the street lights at night?. Maybe Sister Nkeiru has prayed for him "shoulder pad"

This indeed is a great loss. This guy was the MC at our company's December 2010 end of year party. All those who knew him will terribly miss him, could that be why his comedy was being aired on TV just yesterday? May his soul rest in peace. Adieu CD John.

How can you in your low life say such a thing and be happy with yourself. You are less of a human, you should be fed to whales sincerely. I wonder what the Mods in this forum are really doing, this guy should be banned! I don't  even know the guy, so what's the "famous rants" all about. Hundreds of people die daily just because the poor guy is known by a few means he used juju to get famous? You are simply pathetic!

May the soul the departed rest in perfect peace! Even in death, he is better than someone as i have seen here!

Watched his show in Benin two months ago. .fell off my chair with his "Sis Nkiru" jokes. .

RIP man

in all my years as a native doctor, i have seen all kinds of nasty things, and i never thot anything else could surprise me until i saw ur comment,
what we native doctors do with the likes of you is take you into the evil forrest and bury you alive with alot of sacrifice begging the gods not to reincarnate a reproach like you on any other generation. you are a useless waste ofr human skin and organs. tufiakwa ghi, amoosu.

you open your mouth and spew such rubbish about someone you've never met, even had the effontary to mention aliyah and dagrin in your statement. na people like you dey die very useless death, may the gods have mercy on your pitiful self, i would advice you to find the nearest evil forrest close to you and hang yourself cos you are of no use to anyone, anuofia.


rest in peace cd john, never knew nor heard about you but i pray you get the best of watever awaits us on the other side,

rip,

Sista Nkiru,
May your soul RIP

It might not really be the darkness or the state of the roads; a lot of other things could have been involved. I'm not suggesting anything like that loon lovely123, my cousin was pushed off the road and into a ditch near PWD busstop by a truck late one night.
Lets not be quick to blame the government for this , yet

May his soul rest in peace and may the Almighty grant his family and fans the fortitude to bear this loss.
