Kechi Okwuchi Marks 19th Anniversary Of Sosoliso Plane Crash

The 19th anniversary of the Sosoliso plane accident was commemorated by Nigerian musician and America’s Got Talent sensation Kechi Okwuchi.

On December 10, 2005, Sosoliso Airlines Flight 1145 crashed while trying to land at Port Harcourt International Airport in Rivers State, killing 106 persons, including 60 classmates.

The former student was on board. She honored her classmates and other victims of the terrible airline disaster in a post on X.

“Today is the 19th anniversary of the Sosoliso plane crash. I hope the 60 Angels keep watch over me as I navigate life, living out God’s purpose for me. I hope their loved ones who’ve rooted for me since day 1 are proud of me, and that I can keep giving them reasons to smile,” she wrote.

Writing further in a post on Facebook, she reiterated her resolve to live in a way that would make the 60 angels and their families proud.

“December 10, 2024, is the 19th anniversary of the Sosoliso plane crash. So much time has passed and I’ve come such a long way…this day is always an introspective one for me,” she wrote.

“I hope the 60 Angels of Loyola Jesuit College are still watching over me as I navigate life, trying to find my place and fulfill the purpose God intends for me.
 
“This year, I have their loved ones in my heart the most. I hope their loved ones take pride in me, and in my accomplishments, big and small. I thank them for their unwavering support these past 19 years.
 
“When the accident happened, they saw my survival as a beacon of light in a terribly dark time. They wrote letters to me, rooted for me, and prayed incessantly for me. This is why I chose to dedicate my life to their children- my fellow classmates, the 60 Angels.
 
“I chose to live on behalf of myself and everyone else that was lost in that plane crash, but most specifically, to live in a way that would make the Angels and those that they left behind proud. So if any one of you is reading this, my hope is to continue to give you reasons to smile, knowing that this life that was saved that day, this life that you uplifted even in your most painful moment, was not saved in vain. I say to you again: thank you”

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy

One ❤️❤️❤️
