Uncle Yinka Craig is dead, May his soul rest in peace. I really loved watching him on AM express and listening on radio.


Official Family Statement
September 23rd, 2008
It is with a heavy heart, and joy at God’s perfect will that I announce the passing on to Glory of my father, teacher, mentor and friend, Mr. Olayinka Babasanya Craig, who went to be with the Lord at 6.00am this morning at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

He was a pioneer radio and television broadcaster, sports journalist extraordinaire and a national icon.

He is survived by his wife, Dr. Kehinde Craig, his sons, Mr. Olayinka Craig and Dr. Olamide Craig and his “one and only” Miss Temilola Craig.

Dr. David Olamide Craig
for and on behalf of the family

He was a heavy smoker o, throughout his youth, he smoked heavily. People reportedly saw him smoking in Surulere corners during his youth. He quit in his late 40's or so, buh d damages were already made.
