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.

RIP Dan Foster. We listened to him every morning on the way to school. One thing that always stuck with me was the way he pronounced ‘Chocolate Royale’ 😢

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.

If you grew up on Cool FM in the 2000s like I did, you knew the OG Dan Foster. This is such terrible news if true. Sigh

RIP Dan Foster. Jeez! I have no words. I have no fucking words. This feels so personal. I loved this man. I really did. 💔
