Heard the news an hour ago but was hoping it was untrue. Fast-rising Nigerian-American singer, Margaret Oluwatoyin Ejiro Joseph, popularly known as Zara Gretti has passed on. The ‘Abokoku’ crooner who had been battling with Multiple Sclerosis for over a year now breathed her last this morning. Her last tweet (posted yesterday) was “I love and hate my life”.

Before her death, she disclosed via her twitter account months ago that she was experiencing poor vision in both eyes and suffering from memory loss, fatigue, dizziness, tremors to mention a few. She was receiving treatment in the US. I also remember an online charity fund account was opened for her treatment which was put at $23,000.

Sad! Sad!!!

May her soul find repose. Amen!
