Read Ethel's Claims That Sunny Okosons Is Her Father

Ethel recently shared her story with Vanguard. Read it below:

As the daughter of late Sunny Okusun, one would have expected that you take after your father?
It’s a big family. I’ve always done pageantry all my life. I follow my dream.

You didn’t follow his path?
No, my sister is there, Ebony. She sings very well and gradually she’ll take over.

Do you sometimes miss your father?
Of course I do. He was a tremendous support to me. He was the man with a big heart who loved people and wanted to work with everybody. He wanted to affect lives and that was what I learnt from him. That no matter what you do in life, you must impart on people’s lives. For him, it was about giving back to the society and I miss him greatly. I wish he was here today.

Do you have any spiritual affinity with his songs whenever you listen to them?
I do, because his music encourages me a lot. Like one of his songs, “The Third War in Namibia”, I didn’t understand what he was saying then until I secured admission to study Politics in the university. But we were young then or weren’t even born. But I appreciated his songs and we look forward to unveiling a compilation of his songs very soon.

What’s your family doing as regard to your father’s works?
We are working towards compiling his works. My uncle, Easy Okosun who is on it, has recorded some of his collections under Togetherness in London. He will be returning to Nigeria soon to launch it. So very soon, we’ll be hearing more of Sunny Okosun’s oldies.”

But Sunny Okosuns family has refute Ethel's claims that she is their father's daughter.
