CD John Dies

I have never really felt this touched and sad about a celebrity's death as this, that is because this guy just started his career, if he had been alive for at least an extra two years he would have been very successful. It's sad that people struggle so hard and then when they are about to get to the end of the tunnel, then the grave takes them away.

here is a exactly how it happens

later that day, when Abia State born comedian John Chijioke, better known as CD John, made the audience laugh and have a good time, whilst anchoring singer Harrysong‘s album listening party at Tribeca, Victoria Island, nobody knew the tragedy that lay ahead. After carrying out his MC duties at the late night event, he left the venue homeward bound in convoy of three cars involving the Gulder Ultimate Search Season 7 winner, Kunle Oluwaremi. “My friend drove my car, but immediately we realized a car was on the road, he managed to swerve to the left, but since it was sudden; my car hit the rear side of the Toyota. Meanwhile, CD was coming behind in a top speed and uncontrollably ran into my car (an Explorer Jeep) seconds later”, the 2011 GUS winner tells The NET NG.

He was immediately rushed to St. Nicholas hospital on Campbell Street, Victoria Island, where he died at about 7AM on Thursday 24 March 2011. CD drove the black Golf 2, with his girlfriend Ebere sitting next to him, and a certain Joy and an unknown young man at the back of the car. He died few hours after being treated for supposed head injuries while others who were in the car with him are still in at the hospital, recuperating from sustained minor injuries.

CD John’s fame had risen fast in the quite competitive comedy entertainment circles. Since breaking into the limelight in 2010, he had steadily warmed up into the hearts of numerous fans with a unique blend of music and comedy. He had parodied the diverse ways Christian praise and worship leaders from different ethnic backgrounds sang in church. Blessed with a sonorous voice, and a confident, yet calm, mien, he seemed set to join the biggest players on the stand-up comedy scene. CD John would have been a year older on Sunday 27 March 2011. ‘This is very sad. He used to call me his mom jokingly and he was even supposed to go with me for a show in London soon‘, comedienne Princess, expressed sadly.
