Her body was badly damaged,” Mr Mwamburi said of the accident that happened at 10.10am on Sept. 22nd.
Nana’s death story is similar to—, or a reminder of how fast-rising Nigerian music artist, Dagrin; died April 22, 2010 — exactly eight days after he was involved in a ghastly car crash on April 14 of same year in front of Alakara Police Station, off Agege Motor Road, Mushin, Lagos (Nigeria).

Nana Gichuru had posted a message on her Facebook and Instagram accounts on September 11 (9/11), which many have said amounted to the prediction of her own death.
“Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘HOLY CRAP!!!! WHAT A RIIIDEE….!! (sic)” she posted on Facebook.
“To lace, red lips and oversized headphones and this amazing ride!”, she concluded.
On Instagram she wrote; “I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom in me in a magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.”
“The function of man is to live. Not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.”
