Dr. levi ajuonuma biography

Obinna Levi Ajuonuma, the Nigerian disc jockey better known as DJ Obi, has revealed that his father was not meant to be on the flight that led to his death.

Obi’s father, Levi Chibuike Ajuonuma who was a renowned broadcaster, died in the Dana Air Flight 992 crash which occurred on June 3, 2012, at Iju-Ishaga in Lagos state.

In an interview on Afropolitan, the disc jockey revealed that his father got on the flight at the last minute after deciding to personally oversee a work assignment.

He disclosed that because it was a last-minute decision, his father bought someone else’s ticket and ended up in an economy seat instead of his usual business class.

He added that his father’s name did not initially appear on the flight manifest because the ticket was not booked under his name.

“My dad wasn’t supposed to be on that flight but because of the type of person he is, he was trying to be diligent with work and didn’t trust the people he left the work with which made him decide to come to Lagos to oversee it,” he said.

“His boss was Diezani Alison-Madueke and he was trying to make sure everything was perfect because she had a speaking event in Eko hotel.

“After everything happened she was upset because if she knew he was making those plans, she would have told him to be on the private jet with her to Lagos.

“Normally, if he wanted to go on a commercial flight, he would have gotten a business class ticket.

“When the crash happened, they couldn’t find his name because he had gotten someone else’s ticket, it was that last minute.

He has been a professional DJ for several years and has performed at numerous events and clubs worldwide. If he is actually supposed to be on the flight, he would have gotten a business class ticket but he took someone else’s economy seat.

“His name didn’t come up in the manifesto as well, it was at the bottom because he wasn’t in the business class manifesto.”

Obi further described his father’s death as the “most difficult period of my life”, adding that he struggled to come to terms with the loss because his father was his “superman”.

“That period was the most difficult time of my life.

God has multiplied your linage. Look how far we’ve come???! But while going thru pictures of my dad and looking for what to post, i saw this.

We took this last month for my sister’s 40th. You are alive and that is a God given chance to be a blessing to the world around you.

I love you dad and missing you is unbearable.

He was raised by his parents, Levi Chibuike Ajuonuma, and an unnamed mother. We had no idea how we would pull thru without my dad being here but we are doing it with all glory to God and God alone.

It’s still an everlasting fuck you to Dana as an organization/family business or whatever. He attended Worcester State University in the United States.
