When Doctors sent him home to spend time with his family,they gave him three weeks to live,his body had been rravaged by colon cancer.......He didnt last up to one week at home.he diied a few hours ago.
see his last telephone conversation with Azuka Jebose, ace journalist and former Entertainment Editor of The Punch.
During a telephone conversation yesterday night with Mustapha, his voice waning, weak and frail, barely audible, he expressed appreciations for the support, empathy that blanketed his life since his family went public with his health challenges.
“ Zuky,I just wished God would give me more time to thank every Nigerian. I am grateful to have been born Nigerian. I hope someday we would resolve our various differences and live as one Nigeria, be as great as the United States. We are a resilient people, regardless of our diversity.
Where else can you find a unique ethnic peoples under one nation, with beautiful and diversified cultures, peoples, traditions and customs?.Nigeria is such a glorious nation and I pray the powers that be would someday allow our children to tell the stories of our resilience and our great people. Zuky, I thank you, Joel, Jude, Alex Zitto, and everybody. I am at peace and have accepted my circumstance. I don’t have much time left. But I am fulfilled... I want to be remembered as a son, a father who did his best to reach out, remember me as somebody who, despite disagreements, always found ways to put myself in people’s shoes. Zuky, it’s in God’s hands now. And I am happy, man, because I started this life’s journey with half full cup and filled it , it was difficult, but I filled it. I am fulfilled”.
*Mustapha Amego is Nigerian musician who relocated tto the US almost two decades ago when his music was not bear hugged by Nigerians..He had a monstrous fan base who were sad to hear he had relocated and nothing had been heard of him for many many years until his illness was announced by his family.
