“4 Years Without Sound Sultan
It’s been 4 years, but it still feels like yesterday. The silence you left behind is loud, but your legacy echoes even louder.
Sound Sultan wasn’t just a music icon — he was a prophet with a mic, a visionary who used his voice to challenge, inspire, uplift, and unite. From “Jagbajantis” to “Motherland,” you spoke truth to power, repped Naija with pride, and showed us how music could heal and teach.
You taught us that art should have a purpose. You reminded us that patriotism isn’t just about waving the flag — it’s about holding our country accountable and loving it enough to want better.
We miss your humour, your wisdom, your humility, and that ever-present smile. But we carry you in every lyric, every conscious verse, and every dream of a better Nigeria.
Rest on, Naija Ninja. Your light still shines.
Legends never die”.
