Ekiti Legendary singer Chief Elemure Ogunyemi passes on!



I grew up hearing the song of this man play on the radio. i saw her countless times on Tv too. he has a way of using the Ekiti dialect to dissect his songs, injecting some wicked humors, while saying the hard core bitter truth.
I love many of his songs, especially the ''Oni l'abere aja, k'e yin mi, aja ki mo ni sule , o ti ya digbolugi'. (please dont make me translate that . hehe)
He is known for promoting the Ekiti dialect and its culture.( how i love the way the man speaks Ekiti..)
i heard he succumbed to death in the early hours of yesterday,after battling with diabetes for a while now. 
he was just 67 years old. he is survived by his wife and children.
may he RIP.
