“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. She loved deeply, laughed freely, and gave so much of herself to everyone around her.
“I called her Onos pokor pokor, and in return she would call me Uncle Richard—with that 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, humour, and charm.
“The memories keep flooding in—even till her last days, when with Mama we sat reminiscing and teasing her about how, as kids, she would leave Mama Titi’s house just to come and eat at my mum’s place, where her ‘special plate’ was always waiting. Through it all, her laughter never left her—and it still echoes in our hearts now.
“She leaves behind her daughter, Sarah, her mother, siblings, and so many of us who will carry her in our hearts always.
“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.
“I will miss you deeply, my sweet coz. I love you—always will. Rest in perfect peace, Onos. You were truly loved.”
Brisibi is survived by her daughter, Sarah, mother, siblings, and extended family.
The Nigerian entertainment industry has been profoundly impacted by Brisibi’s contributions to gospel music and Nollywood soundtracks.
