Nigerian gospel singer Onos Brisibi has passed away after a prolonged illness, with her death confirmed on Thursday, March 26, by her cousin, veteran Nollywood actor Richard Mofe-Damijo, popularly known as RMD.
According to a heartfelt tribute posted on RMD’s instagram page, Onos passed away on March 23 at the age of 55.
He described her as a talented singer whose voice carried light and joy and who ministered to hearts rather than merely performed.
“Onos was more than family, she was love in human form.
“A devoted Christian, a beautiful soul, and a gifted songstress whose voice carried so much light and joy.
“She didn’t just sing, she ministered, lifting hearts and drawing people closer to God,” he wrote.
RMD said that even in her last days, Onos retained her warmth and sense of humour, reminiscing with family and laughing through cherished memories.
“I called her Onos pokor pokor, and in return, she would call me Uncle Richard with her playful, almost British accent.
“Where Warri girl wey never go England see that kind accent from?.
“That was just who she was, full of life, humor, and charm.
“The tears are many, but the memories are even more, and we are comforted, like all who knew her and her dedication to spreading the gospel through music, that she is finally resting with the Lord,” he added.
Onos was born on November 20, 1970, to Apostle Ambrose Oproze Brisibi and Deaconess Mary Koko Brisibi of Aladja, Udu, Delta state.
She is survived by her daughter, Sarah Brisibi, her mother, siblings, extended family, friends, and her church family at LoveWorld Ministries.
