….The third friend of Davido who lost his life
The family of Chime Amaechi better known as Chime have reacted intensely to his death in a recent interview. The 23 year old son of a real estate surveyor and valuer in Ibadan, was found unconscious in his car a few days ago alongside his friend DJ Olu.
Speaking in a chat with TheNetng, Chime’s father said: “He was a good son.He wasn’t a riffraff that was hanging around Davido looking for handouts…no, no. He and Olu Abiodun were childhood friends in Ibadan. They met in primary school. They attended Oritamefa Baptist School. If you know that school, you’ll agree with me that it was’t an ‘anyhow’ school. It’s a private school with modern facilities and that’s where he and Olu met. He used to play drums, very talented. He used to play drums in the choir and that’s where his love for music started. It was where the two of them first became friend”.
Recounting Chime’s source of livelihood before his sad death, his sister, Sopulu said: “Olu’s father owns Heyden Petroleum and he with Chime used to transport petroleum products, in thousands of litres, across the whole country, They also had real estate that they were marketing and getting commissions from.
Chime started earning more than his dad and he dropped out from school
“When I advised him as a father to go back to school, he told me that people that graduated are not making the type of money he was so what’s the point?” His dad added.
When asked how they got hear about his sad demise, his father said: ”We were at home in Ibadan, when a family friend who does not normally call came to the house with his wife. They said Chime was in an accident and we should pack our bags and come with them to Lagos. It was very strange to me and I wondered what was going on. It was early on Sunday morning and they were getting ready to go to church. About that time, some friends had seen reports of it online and had called his sister. I noticed someone else who I don’t talk to often called and when I picked all he was saying was “Oh my God, oh my God”
