The Nigerian entertainment and media industry has been plunged into grief following the sudden and tragic passing of a bright young talent. City FM announced the death of one of its beloved On-Air Personalities, Boluwatife Badejo, who was widely known as Teefeh.
A Life and Career Cut Short
According to an official announcement made by the radio station on its social media platforms, the 28-year-old presenter died recently. Teefeh was a vibrant voice on City FM, hosting the popular City Lounge program every Saturday from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. She also anchored the inspirational Praise in the City show every Sunday morning from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
Her dedication to her work was further highlighted by her active role in coordinating the station's major 2025 Praise Ain't The City program, which was held on Christmas Eve. Colleagues and listeners remembered her as a young woman full of life, whose presence brought light and laughter to both the studio and every event she attended.
Outpouring of Grief from Fans and Colleagues
The news of her demise triggered an immediate wave of sorrow across social media, with fans and fellow media professionals sharing heartfelt tributes and personal memories. Many expressed profound shock, having just listened to her broadcasts recently.
One fan, @dayor_nuel, wrote: "It was a painful loss. Tears rolled down my eyes that very day she passed out. May her soul continue to rest in the bosom of the almighty." Another, @flames_of_lagos_1, shared a poignant memory from the last Praise Ain't The City event, stating, "Tifeh, you gave me the Amala and Ewedu I ate... but you didn't say goodbye." This fan also recounted witnessing the distressing moment Teefeh reportedly slumped before being rushed for medical attention.
The collective sentiment echoed a painful trend, as noted by user @thasuspect: "We've been losing a lot of young people in the media space lately." This follows the recent losses of other young personalities like Allwell Ademola and Lazy Writa in 2025, which had already left the community in a state of mourning.
A Bright Light Extinguished
In its tribute, City FM described Teefeh as a vibrant individual whose energy was infectious. Her sudden departure has left a significant void in the station and in the hearts of her loyal listeners. The circumstances surrounding her death have heightened the sense of loss for a career that held so much promise.
This tragic event serves as another somber moment for Nigeria's media landscape, reminding all of the fragility of life. As tributes continue to pour in, Boluwatife 'Teefeh' Badejo is remembered not just for her voice on the radio, but for her kindness and vibrant spirit that touched everyone she met.
