The name Cynthomania might not ring a bell and chances that it will look very slim.
Owerri-born Cynthia Akudo-Jonah was an
upcoming singer who was probably on her way to fame and success until
her life was cut short. Popularly known by her stage name Cynthomania,
aka ‘Ada Owerri’, the chubby singer is reported to have passed away on
June 18, 2014 after a brief illness. Her publicist confirmed through a
statement released on June 19, 2014.
Cynthomania who was in her 20s, before
her death, worked with the likes of Timaya, video director Patrick Ellis
and was planning to release her debut album with the lead single ‘Ukwu ajebutter‘ before her untimely death.
Fans and friends have thronged to her Facebook page, writing condolence messages. ‘R.I.P my dear friend cynthomania aka Ada Owerri’, Blessing Sunday wrote. FB friend Ifeanyi Chima still can’t come to terms with the singer’s death. ‘Pls I need confirmation. Cant believe this cos I chatted with her few weeks ago‘, he wrote.
