Late gospel singer, Toluwanisings’ father has recalled how his son grew up after losing his mother as a baby, went on to study in Lagos, got married and remained close to his family, particularly his younger half-siblings.
According to his father, Toluwanisings was born in July 1992. He was only six months old when his mother d!ed, leaving her family to make arrangements for his care.
The father said his late wife’s family asked for the child to be released into their care when her remains were brought from Kano. They wanted to have him with them as they dealt with the loss of their daughter.
During an interview, the father said:
“When his mom death was brought from Kano, the mother’s family then said they should released Toluwanisings to them to used it to console the family, which he was released to his mom’s family, but the father said they were still taking responsibility,” he said.
“I was happy when he converted to Christian because in our family we have both Christians and Muslims.
“After secondary school, Toluwanisings proceeded to Yaba College of Technology in Lagos. While there, he met the woman who later became his wife through their involvement in a church choir.
“So, he went to Lagos, he met his wife which they were both in choir, so later inform us he wanted to get married.
“I married another woman, and Toluwanisings asked me to introduce him to his younger siblings. I did, and they have been very close.
“He has really tried for me and his half siblings financially. He really tried.
“Infact, he promised to establish one of his half siblings a day before he d!ed.
“I would be happy if he is buried in the house he built and not in burial ground.”
