Korede Okungbowa, third wife of deceased Nigerian music producer, OJB has called on Copyrights Society Of Nigeria(COSON)to remit the royalties from OJB’s music.
Korede who recently slammed Nigerian entertainers over abandoning the family of the deceased singer noted that she is yet to hear from his colleagues, ever since she shared the video on social media.
Speaking in a chat with Punch, Korede said: “Since I made the video, I have not heard from anybody. The video I made is to remind them of the most important thing, which are Jigga’s royalty and his right to some songs that he had done.
“They should not hold on to what belongs to the children, they should try and remit and not hold on to his works; it’s not done anywhere and if you look at the case of King Sunny Ade, he is still receiving royalties; someone that started music a long time before Jigga. This is the reason why I made the video and in fact, COSON is a body that collects for artistes and he was a member of the organisation. Since Jigga’s burial, I haven’t heard anything from COSON, except they are making calls to people that we do not know.
“However, I am expecting them to do the right thing and since they have not done anything in two years I made a video to wake them to see that the children are still here. We are not going to come to them for feeding or for school fees; they should just give the children what belongs to them, that is all I’m saying”.
