Tosyn Bucknor! This hurts, again. But I’m glad I met you. One of the very few media personalities in Nigeria that I looked up to. Her humility humbles you. She was an Icon but very accessible and willing to help. We have lost a gem. Rest is peace, Tosyn. Just rest. ???? pic.twitter.com/Stz4jDdahs

I emailed Tosyn Bucknor sometime in 2016 and wrote her name as ‘Tosin’. She was so gracious in her response but noted that she’d rather be addressed as ‘Tosyn’. Then it stuck. The world has lost a gem. #RIPTosynBucknor
