Johnson about how Flavour abandoned his best friend's mom Late Mcloph's Late
mum(right), Made a hit tribute song, and never picked up a phone to call her
till her death 2 weeks ago.Read blow...
My name is Bianka Johnson, I reside in the United States of
America. I am from Nigeria, a healthcare practitioner, actors-manager and a
goodwill citizen. Flavour Nabania didn't make a tribute song "Iwe",
he made a mockery of his friend, the late McLoph. Below is my story.
Tragedy brought us together......... That's how I came to
know Mrs. Nwaozor, affectionately known to me as "Mama." Back in
November 2011, someone posted a tribute video, "Iwe", by Flavor, on
Facebook. On that day I distinctly remember viewing the video on YouTube and
sobbing for over an hour after watching this video that paid homage to two
siblings who so suddenly lost their lives. I was simply paralyzed thinking
about the magnitude of grief one particular mother would have to endure. You
see, Mama was the mother who lost those two adult children on the same day,
specifically, a son, the erstwhile entertainer, MC Loph, and a daughter,
Chinwe. All I could think to myself is that life as we know it is so unfair. My
spirit was disturbed and something, I don't know what it was, moved within me
and I set out to find this woman. It became my duty....my obligation, to find
her, to hug her and give her some semblance of hope and maybe a little peace,
if she would allow me to.
So, I began to search for Mama. The first thing I did was to
call Flavor's promoter, Igwe, who I knew was based in Houston, Texas. I asked
to speak with Flavor and he informed me that Flavor had gone to the mall, but
he would make sure Flavor would call me immediately he got back. At the time,
Flavor was in the United States promoting the album he had recently released.
The next day Igwe called me and put Flavor on the phone. I briefly introduced
myself and went straight to thank him for showing love
through his tribute song to a dear friend who had lost his life. Shortly after
that, I expressed to him how his video moved me to tears and how I felt
compelled to find Loph's mother. Flavor thanked me as well and gave me a
telephone number to MC Loph's close friend in Lagos who went by the name Obi
Mgbakor.
There was absolutely no doubt in my mind that Flavor was in
contact with Mama on a weekly, or at least, a monthly basis seeing as the late
MC Loph and Flavor were childhood friends that grew up together. Without
hesitation, I immediately called Obi Mgbakor in Lagos and
introduced myself to him and requested Mama's contact
information. Obi Mgbakor was guarded at first and was reluctant to give me
Mama's number. He asked for my Facebook name so he could check out my profile.
Without giving it a second thought, I provided it to him and his countenance
changed after he was able to verify who I was and he even requested my
friendship on Facebook. Obi Mgbakor gave me Mama's
information and I contacted her the next day and introduced myself. Mama and I
spent almost an hour on the phone the first time we spoke and she narrated so
much to me. Mama was heartbroken and she said that she was
actually shocked
Flavor was the one that made it possible for us to start communicating. Mama
went further to express her disappointment over Flavor's nonchalant attitude
since the death of her son, MC Loph and her daughter Chinwe. "Flavor has
not picked up the phone to call me since Obiajulu passed away, yet he made a
hit tribute song on his behalf. May God be the judge," Mama said.
Now, it must be noted that MC Loph died in a ghastly motor
accident on September 14, 2011, while traveling on the Benin/Ore expressway to
visit Mama with his pregnant fiancé Nkiru, who survived the ordeal. The phone
conversation I had with Mama was in November 2011, two months after MC Loph's
death and she said Flavor hadn't called? Unbelievable!
Immediately I got off the phone with Mama I called Obi
Mgbakor to verify what she told me. The whole thing was strange to me and I
couldn't reconcile the feelings and emotions Flavor expressed in his tribute
video with the nonchalant attitude he had towards his best friend's mother. Obi
Mgbakor indeed confirmed that Flavor refused to call or visit mama after
McLoph's death.
Right now, I want to set the record straight. Since the
death of Mama's son, MC Loph, Flavor Nabania never called nor visited Mama and
he never sent a dime to her for her upkeep. Flavor hasn't made any effort to
reach out to Nkiru or MC Loph's infant son. Mama died from congestive heart
failure exacerbated by heartbreak. But for the deaths of her two adult children
at the same time, which took an enormous toll on her health, it is my belief
that Mama would have lived longer. Since her death, I have read so many untrue
stories including a statement made by MC Loph's former manager, Emeka Morgan.
Once again, let me set the record straight: Mr. Morgan was never responsible
for Mama's upkeep. He claimed that his record label was sending Mama thirty
thousand naira a month. Mama never received thirty thousand Naira monthly from
the record label and Mr Morgan never adopted MC Loph's son nor was he
responsible for the infant's welfare as speculated by some brainless human
beings. Mr. Morgan abandoned Mama as soon as the media attention surrounding
her son's death died off. Mr. Morgan till date has yet to call Nkiru, MC Loph's
fiancé, to say congratulations on the birth of Loph's son.
It is my honest belief that God brought me close to Mama
after her son's death for reasons beyond my comprehension. I took care of Mama
until she died to the best of my ability. Today, I am blessed to have an extra
angel watching over me. She lost two children at the same time who can never be
replaced but before she died, Mama gained a grandson, a beautiful daughter
in-law in Nkiru, and a daughter in me. Mama is gone, reunited with her children
and I know she is at peace now. Mama will be buried in November 12, 2013. May
her very gentle soul rest in peace.
