Gospel Singer Onos Brisibi is dead
Renowned gospel singer and Nollywood soundtrack vocalist Onos Brisibi has passed away at the age of 55.
Brisibi, celebrated for her soulful performances in films such as Domitilla and Blood Money, died on March 23, 2026, following a prolonged illness.
Her contributions to both gospel music and Nollywood soundtracks left a lasting mark on the industry.
In an Instagram tribute, veteran actor Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD) described Brisibi as a “devout Christian” and “gifted songstress” whose music touched countless lives.
He wrote, “It’s hard to put into words the loss we feel. My dear sister and cousin, Onos Nancy Brisibi, went to be with the Lord on March 23rd, 2026, after a long and difficult illness. She was born on November 20th, 1970, to Apostle Ambrose Oproze Brisibi (of blessed memory) and Deaconess Mary Koko Brisibi of Aladja, Udu, Delta State.
“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.”
She is survived by her daughter, Sarah, mother, siblings, and extended family.
Brisibi’s contributions to gospel music and Nollywood soundtracks have left a lasting impact on the Nigerian entertainment industry.
