Nigerians Mourn Dan Foster
I do not think there will ever exist an OAP that had as much impact on radio as much as Dan Foster did when I was growing up. His voice caressed my ears & made me love radio. Dan Foster was the tipping point for Lagos radio. This one is a triple tragedy.pic.twitter.com/h6PLSEuBsg

We had Lagos OAPs pre and post Dan Foster.
Pre Dan Foster, very few had "abroadian accents".
Post Dan Foster, that changed.
He was a giant; changed radio in Lagos.

Yet to read a decent obituary of Dan Foster. A Black American who chose to settle in Lagos, he was a huge influence on Nigerian radio from the early 2000s. Will like to read his story. Who was he? What motivated him? He obviously touched a number of lives. May he rest.
