Christy Essien Igbokwe, UDUAK,and Nigeria Lady of Song was a simply magical in her lifetime. She epitomised every positive values of an African woman. A chaste lady, great wife, kind woman, successful musician, accomplished actress, loving mother and many more. She would live forever in the minds and imagination of lovers of good music

This is so moving. She was a gift to this country. Talent so raw. A voice so unique it draws one in. No one sings songs like this anymore. Her songs touched deeply with its simplicity. Her song Akwa ibom mmi was so popular and captured the sentiments of the then newly created state. Thank you Channels tv for this piece!

I don't even know why I am crying bitterly, probably cos I was fortunate to know what Nigeria used to be back in the late 70's and early 80's.....what a world...please everyone do know it's the smiles you put across faces when alive that matter not many acumulated riches....I miss mummyyyy

Oh men, I'm sadden by her lost to us, I'm from Ghana, but Christy's music was my heart, I mean all, she joins the Africans musician who stood for all Africa. She will be missed, but her music will live with me for the rest of my life.

Her song, Seun Rere will live with me forever. Christy Essien Igboke will be forever loved. She performed for us at Minna, Niger State in one of those children party in the late 80s.

She left the world in a blaze of glory. I pray that almighty God grant her soul eternal happiness

The only words I can think of is MAGICAL, PHENOMENAL AND LEGEND. Words are inadequate to capture the being that was Christy Essien Igbokwe. She is a prophetess in the league of the great trailblazers like Bob Marley. 👑🙌🙌🙌

She is an all rounder, She epitomized Nigeria as a whole. Rest in peace, till we meet again.

Christy is one of the singer in Nigeria whose song reminds us why we should remain together as one in Nigeria...may her soul RIP...my heart goes out to the Igbokwe's family

One of the Greatest Singer in Nigeria, I hope she will forever remembered for contribution to Do Good, "Seun Rere.

My God I danced to all her music when grow up. God rest her soul in your holy palace Lord.

she understood yoruba and igbo perfectly, she was so simple

Wow! Just knowing this.. Rip mama you placed Afria especially Nigeria on the Map of Music... Indeed you're a Gem....

Her name can never be forgotten by those who schooled in the 80s Evergreen song “Omo mi seun rere, tire adara oh...”

A CALABAR woman that grew up in IGBO land, and could pass for a "typical" YORUBA woman...,what a TALENT!!!. Sis, pls pray 4 the country u left behind!!.

Very very sad to lose one of the finest. Gud 9it Ma. U will never be forgotten.

I'm so saddened within me now. I didn't quite know her too well. RIP, adiagha Abasi

She's actually a legend. I'll miss her. She got raw and developed her talent. There laying down the lady of song's in Nigeria music industry....

this is how our brothers and sister came out to build this nation that is now handed over to the Fulan's who have now turned it into a battle file

She grew up in Abia, sings in her dialect in addition to yoruba & igbo and gave Jegede hell as his yoruba wife in 'the new masquerade' This is Nigeria when talent reigned Everything dabaru after 1985 - IBB?

All respect to the one and only greatest female singer in West Africa

Thank you for sharing your songs with us and for being a part of our world... Goodnight dearie, you will be sorely missed.... R.I.P.

You forgot to mention her trip to SOUL in SOUTH KOREA in the 80's where she sung SHEUN RERE and the audience went wild screaming, NIGERIA, NIGERIA! She came fourth; of'course her husband helped her music to succeed with his position and also she succeeded because she sung in so many Nigerian languages so she had a much bigger advantage than some other musicians.

i love this song igbokwenu,thou i don't understand her language for i am from Edo-stae but i love her music.May her soul reste in peace.

MY GOD

Essien was her maiden name. She was already established as Christy Essien before she married Mr Igbokwe; so she was compelled to keep Essien.

RIP we are going to. Miss you honestly
