How Oliver De Coque Most Kept Secret Took Him To Early Grave by Shellsploit: 8:50am On Apr 14, 2021
Chief Dr. Oliver Sunday Akanite (April 14, 1947 – June 21, 2008) was a Nigerian highlife musician and guitarist who recorded more than 73 albums to his credit, making him the most popular highlife king of Africa. His music band group are known as Ogene Sound Super of Africa, which blended modern high life and traditional Igbo music.

The music star had 12 kids: seven boys and five girls. And they all enjoyed their father’s presence. “It was awesome. My siblings and I didn’t see him as a famous figure. He was a normal, caring, jovial and loving dad to us,” Darlington Akanite, one of his sons, disclosed to press men.

While growing up, Oliver was popularly called the Game Master. This was because he was good at the game of draft. Draft in Igbo language is ‘Okwe.’ People began to call him Oliver De Ka Okwe. He then changed the name to sound more like a French name; that was how he came up with Oliver De Coque.

He loved to buy clothes. He spent a lot of money maintaining his looks. In fact, he spent N30,000 on his beard weekly and that amounted to N120,000 monthly.

He went to his salon twice a week. He always said his beard was his signature look. He said if someone decided to keep a beard, it was right to maintain it.


He fell ill at the end of 2007. He was diabetic and hypertensive. Most artistes don’t like to disclose their health challenge.

His son is of the opinion that if he had disclosed his health challenge, he would have gotten help quick. He was ill for three months. “He then recovered in February 2008 and began to go for shows. He died on June 20 but he had planned to travel to the US on July 2 for checkup,” Darlington added.

He told the press that it was as if his father knew he was going to die because on the day he died, he decided to stay indoors. “And he wanted me to stay by his side.”

“That morning, after he had his breakfast, he began to feel ill. He said he was going to cancel his appointment for that day. I didn’t know it was a serious matter; all I did was to console him. I went to the bathroom to take a shower and then told him that I wanted to visit a few friends. He begged me not to leave his side; I became upset. I thought he was depriving me of catching fun. I grudgingly stayed back.”

While Darlington stayed with him, he began to tell him of how he started his career. As he said the story, he complained of not breathing well. Oliver then decided to go to hospital. On their way to the hospital, he called the driver to increase the temperature of the air conditioner; he said he was feeling hot. His son became scared when he began to shout ‘wheelbarrow! wheelbarrow! ‘Darlington, please bring a wheelbarrow.’”
Darlington wondered what was happening. It was after he died he realised the highlife maestro was referring to a wheel chair.

I think he was becoming paralysed and unconscious. When we got to the hospital, he was rushed to the emergency ward.

“Throughout his time at the hospital, he kept begging me to save him but there was nothing I could have done,” the son said.

Before he died, he held Darlington’s hand close to his side as he took his last breathe. His son closed his eyes and kissed him on the forehead. “I was so confused about all that happened.”


If Oliver had made his health condition public, the son believes more than 200 Igbo people would have laid their lives down for him.

He is gone, leaving behind a vacuum. But he’s taught the entire family a lesson: whenever one is facing a challenge, one shouldn’t keep quiet about it. “I want people to learn from his death.”

I Perceive the hotness the Father was feeling here was not a normal hotness. He was feeling a heat from the other side of Eternity.

“Throughout his time at the hospital, he kept begging me to save him but there was nothing I could have done,” the son said

All his Dad was asking for Here was For the young man to lead him to JESUS .

Aww.. sad story. Very touching.

One of popsys favorite music stars back in the days.

I so much liked a verse in one of his songs that said

Mmiri na ma na ije okpa
Ma ona ha ma na okwu onu e
Ayowa onyen wen uwa le
Onu kuru njo ge ku mma

So a dying person accepting Christ at the point of death immediately changes everything for him and he will be heavenbound?

I am afraid but you are wrong but if you must prove me wrong I want you to quote any place in the Bible where Christ taught that. Don't give me passages from any of the biblical writers because many of them did not even understand Christ even when he was on earth not to talk of after he had left.

Listen Carefully!! Every book , Chapter and verse of the Holy Bible is the Word of GOD. You afraid, you believe or you Don't is Irrelevant.
That is the Book that will Judge u.

The Holy Bible is the Word of GOD Written by Men under the Inspiration of GOD ALMIGHTY. No part of the Bible is Faulty.

As for your Question, The Criminal who was crucified with JESUS and on his way to Hell got his Eternity switched right Befor his death by a little Prayer. " Remember me When thou comedy into their kingdom "

No: your answer shows that spiritually you are still a nascent(No insults meant please)
The Bible is not perfect. At least every serious Christian knows that there were errors during translations and some meanings were also lost during translation of the Bible to English because some words were translated approximately.
To your last line: you quoted out of the Context. Reason The thief made a confession to the Son of God (Who is the Love of the Father) himself and not to any other human being(not the same with any human being accepting Christ on his Deathbed for fear of Death)

Also he (the thief) has paid for his sin of stealing which was the reason for his Crucifixion on the Cross and hence when Christ said today you will be with me in paradise it simply mean that Christ is already affirming that He(the pertinent thief) has paid for his own sin hence paradise is assured for him
Finally as a Christian I KNOW that THE BLOOD OF CHRIST does not wash away anybody’s sin neither does merely confessing that you believe in Him bring Salvation but that Salvation can only come when you as an individual LIVE the TRUE TEACHINGS OF JESUS CHRIST or any other TRUTH BRINGER.
