The event which took place on Monday, December 5,2011,at the Oriental Hotel, Lagos Nigeria, was part of the Aboderin’s plan to announce a yearly musical talent hunt show in honor of the late Jaiye, who until his death was a soulful musician.

In a recent chat with a Nigerian soft-sell magazine, Stella Damasus was quoted: “I am really not in the mood to say anything about this issue because I feel it’s better I keep quiet about it. But I am not having any problem or going to join any issue with the family over anything.

I have kept quiet all the while because I respect Jaiye so much. I just want everything to rest and not be misquoted or misrepresented at any occasion. I hope everybody respects my decision”

On their part, the Aboderin family’s spokesman, Tunde Obe said “We have not staged any event to celebrate Jaiye. What happened at the Oriental Hotel was a press briefing to introduce a talent hunt show in honor of Jaiye. So, we invited the press and also invited Stella Damasus. But if she has decided not to come, we do not see anything wrong with that, because she has remarried and she has every right to do so because she is still young and got her life ahead of her.

So when the event proper comes up on December 16, we are going to invite her. She can, however, decide to come or not to come”

According to sources, Stella Damasus may also have absented herself from the event because she is now occupied with taking care of her mum, who recently underwent an eye surgery and this has affected her public appearance.

It would be recalled that in March 2009,the mother of two children, Stella got married to her second husband, Emeka Nzeribe and had since then been referred to as Stella Damasus Nzeribe.
