Yinka Davies, an ace Nigerian singer, and former judge of reality show Nigerian Idol, has lost her 27- year- old son, Jeremiah.
It was gathered that Jeremiah died last Friday, January 29th after a long battle with Autoimmune blood tissue disorder, a condition in which the body’s immune system malfunctions and attacks its own tissues.
He had been in and out of the hospital in the last 10 months before he died.
In a tribute, accompanied by a picture of the deceased, Yinka, appreciated all those who stood by her family amid her son’s battle for his life until he eventually passed away.
“For those who held you in their hearts, Those you waved at on your strolls. For those who cried the tears they couldn’t hold back, because you are no more here,” she wrote.
“For those who washed you when you were weak, those who were scared to see you ill. For those who thought you madly stubborn because you, wouldn’t take another pill.
“I salute them all, who shared you with me, paying for your bills, calling on others to give their dimes, I appreciate the toils and tears and all the memories you left for them. Leaving only me.”
The 50-year-old singer has had an illustrious music career with a string of awards and recognition to her name.
