The family of late rapper, Mc Loph who recently died in an auto crash on his way to his traditional wedding and Nigerian artistes have decided to keep his memory alive by organizing a candle light procession and a musical concert.

This was revealed to National LIFE by popular rapper and friend of the deceased, Biglo who organized a meeting at O’jez restaurant and bar at the National Stadium, Surulere in Lagos.

According to Biglo, the rapper disclosed that the meeting was convened as a result of his relationship with the deceased artiste.

“I convened this meeting because Loph was a personal friend of mine. I’ve known him for more than 10 years. We attended University of Nigeria Nsuka together (UNN). This is actually the second meeting. His death was a very painful thing for me. I was shocked and I could not let him go out like that. I realized we have to make it memorable and immortalize him.”

He added that while the candle light procession would hold in lagos, the musical concert would take place in the east.

“In that regard, we are going to be planning a candle night procession for him in Lagos here then we are going to have a kind of musical concert in his memory. That would be in the East. That would be in conjunction with his record label because he had a record label called Morgan Entertainment. We are having this meeting to show support for MC Loph and his family for the tragic loss as he also lost his sister.”

The chubby artiste also unveiled plans for a press conference where plans for the burial would be finalized by the family and his committee of friends.

“We are going to be having a press conference once all the dates have been fixed. By the end of this week, we would have the press conference. More importantly, I was us artistes and entertainers in general to come together as one and do something for this guy.”

Late Mc Loph

Another cogent reason the meeting was convened according to Biglo was to out a halt to what he termed the endless waste of lives on the road where Mc Loph’s life was ground t a halt.

“At the same time, another leg of it is that we are going to find a way to express our grievance with the government. People have been dying on that road. I have personally been involved in an accident on that road many years ago. I was going for a show and in that accident, 7 people died. I didn’t die but I still have scars on my body from that accident – I remember that seven people died in that same accident that I was involved in on the same bad road that Mc Loph had the accident and died. How can a road be perpetually bad and you still leave it like that? From Obasanjo’s days in government to Yar’Adua and now Jonathan yet the road is still like that. What is it? Which ‘winch’ dey for the road wey dem no fit do am? Is it impossible? After all, in the last four years, they have constructed new roads elsewhere so we’re working on that too. We’re going to try to get the government’s attention. It is a shame that we have to use the blood of a colleague like this to sensitise the government on this matter but his death cannot be in vain.”
