Popular OAP Charles Bruce Chukuma, also known as Chaz B is dead. The shocking news which was made known by DJ humility on twitter, has also been confirmed on STV.
He died this morning November 22nd, 2014 from kidney failure.
The beloved OAP rose to fame with his radio interactive show on Inspiration FM. His show allowed his listeners to call in to discuss and share touching life issues. He however moved to Rhythm in April this year where he continued to touch lives through his show.
His sudden death has left many of his fans in shock as he was said to have still been on radio yesterday. It was business as usual until when at a point during the show he excused himself, saying that he wasn’t strong enough to continue the show, and told Chike his colleague to takeover.
He signed out by saying:”See you on Monday”.
Sadly, this afternoon, Silverbird television broke the news of his death.
With a distinct voice purring through the Lagos airwaves, Chaz B’s hallmark show is “SHARING LIFE ISSUES WITH CHAZ B”, which earned him the prestigious Nigeria Media Merit Awards for 2010 as the best On Air Personality in Radio and the show is rated the number one show across the city of Lagos.
‘Listening to Chaz B during our conversation was like listening to a clergyman, a man of strong moral conviction and religious beliefs. And you begin to wonder if he is an ordained priest, and if he is, what is he doing in broadcasting’ (Culled from his interview with digicast magazine).
Chaz B continues to be a strong voice through his program, ‘Sharing Life Issues with Chaz B’, which airs on the Rhythm Radio Network every Monday to Friday at 6.15pm, as well as other network programs in the works.
Chaz had a history of kidney health problems and underwent a successful kidney transplant in 2012 after receiving a kidney donation from his wife.
Really sad and heart breaking. May his soul rest in peace, Amen.
