Miss Mbalaso made
it to the final four on Koko
Mansion which ran on HiTV in
2009
Phones have been buzzing and
messages flooding in.
And, sadly, we can now confirm
that Chidinma Mbalaso, the
beautiful Koko Mansion
contestant, who was yesterday
involved in a road mishap in
Kaduna, is dead.
Details are scanty for now, but
multiple sources, including Koko
Mansion winner Bolanle Okhiria
and another contestant Sharon
Ojong have confirmed
Chidinma ’s unfortunate passing.
Okhiria was in tears when she
spoke with us few minutes ago.
Also, Abuja-based Amara
Nwakpa, who sources say was
close to the deceased, has taken
to microbloging site Twitter to
announce her death and bless
her soul. ‘RIP Chidinma Mbalaso
– 22 Jan 1989 – 25 Mar 2011.
You will be remembered fondly
and with love. Adieu little sister ’
Nwakpa posted through his
handle (@bubusn).
Mbalaso, who schooled at
University of Abuja, and was
building a career as a stylist and
actress, was reportedly in a
Coma for hours, as friends and
family members ran helter-
skelter trying to get her blood
donation.
‘She lost so much blood. We
were really working hard all
night to get blood donations’ a
friend tells us.
From midnight to this morning,
several messages were
spreading, urging anyone with
contacts in Kaduna to please rise
up and convince them to donate
blood for the young lady.
‘Chidinma is at St Gerald’s
hospital in Kaduna. Please call …
(numbers withheld) if you can
help. If you ’re a B- or O-. She
needs blood donation. Please
save a life. Thanks !’
A reliable source tells us she was
on her way back to Abuja, from
Kaduna where she had gone to
pick up her car. ‘This was her
first car; she paid for with her
money. She was driving back to
Abuja when a motorcycle ran
into her path. She was trying to
avoid the motorcycle when she
lost control …’
Miss Mbalaso’s death, coming a
day after that of comedian CD
John, and about a year to the
anniversary of Dagrin ’s, brings
to the fore again, the horrible
state of Nigerian roads, and the
mess our medical system is in.
No word yet from HiTV or
Mohits, but our reporters are
working the phones to get more
details and reactions.

I said this before, bad roads in Nigeria starting to affect entertainers, look at its victims. . .

The appalling state of roads in Nigeria coupled with ill-trained drivers makes it for accidents to happen, sometimes with victims of a single crash incident running into scores .

May God give those that she left behind the fortitude to bear her untimely and painful loss. Rest in peace Chidinma.

Damnnnn!!
What a year,
Dis is so sad
