Read Bianca’s statement below:
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
childrenat 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 on November 12, 2013. May her very gentle
soul rest in peace.
