christy essien igbokwe was a holdhold name in the 80s and 90s. From acting akpeno to music - singing in English, Igbo and yoruba. Dont know where the Op got his concept of being popilar after death from.
Same as Amaka Igwe that created the very popular Checkmate

Was he even born when she was reigning?

You must have drunk something weird because you put Christy Essien Igbokwe on that list.

The woman called the African Lady of Songs" even when Miriam Makena was alive?

Remove that name from that list sharperly!

E don be for Oladips
Dude better look for a way to make atonement..
He wanted to create bomb to make himself and his new album the talk of the town.. then he should have looked for another.. not faking his death..

Anyways,, I'm into construction and designing of home furnitures.. visit my signature and feed your eyes

Will be a nice name for his album because the unreleased album which its name is unknown is already the talk of the town.

Unconscious promotion of the niggas unreleased album.

Whether we like it or not, people will rush to hear the songs in the album at least once to know what the nigga is made of.

Who knows, if he is good, people will stick and that is how he will gradually rise if he can keep up.

Not aware of his drug problems

I think it's crack Cocaine. His Manager complained about Him becoming too Eratic and wasteful with money and linked it to His drug use. I feel He wanted to improve His creativity and tried drugs but fell in Love with them.

The inclusion of Ola Dip is funny 🤣

It serves him right. Not everyone gets away with stupidity. If Ola's father was that of Mohbad, Ola would have been quickly buried alive in an under-sized casket at night.

Lol this one much o 🤣

Christy Uduak Essien and Amaka Igwe were well-known before they passed on and shouldn't be on that list. Right from the early 1980s we knew Christy Essien who acted the role of Apena in "The New Masquerade" on national television and she was also a fantastic pop star who sang fluently in English, Yoruba, her native Ibibio, and Ibo.

Christy was known internationally and I remember watching her back in the 1980s sing the monster hit "Seun re re" live on stage in the U.S. She received a massive standing ovation after that powerful vocal delivery. The Americans loved it!

Dagrin, Mohbad, and Oladips (pun intended)
became more popular after their passing (minus Oladips of course).

Dagrin's rap songs were known to me before he passed on in that tragic car crash in 2010, but of all those on the list, he truly become more visible after he passed. "Omo Ogun" was dope with his Yoruba rap songs laced with English and pidgin.

The first 4 shld not be on d list, pls

While alive, Christy E. Igbokwe, Bisi Komolafe, Dagrin and Amska Igwe were all known stars...
It's as if you were saying Michael Jackson became more known after his demise.

My opinion, though.

U know people only see Music as a numbers thing. Unless the artist is selling or being or billboards the artist has fallen. Brymo is on His own lane and carved His own Ninche. He likes to feel His Music, it's also something that lead Him to taking Hard Drugs

Only people like you see music as a numbers thing ( whatever that means ). You see people like Yanni have broken records most musicians can't but he's still largely unknown because he doesn't have those "numbers" you speak of but nonetheless he keeps achieving even without the viewership

Amaka Igwe and Christy Essien-Igbokwe have no business on that list...!

Those were Amazons while alive, and breaking new ground in the Entertainment Industry... Death didn't make them more popular than they already were, they were simply celebrated for their milestones.

You people should learn to do proper research and fact-finding before rushing to create topics and threads.

They don't deserve to be on the list
