Ali CHUKWUMA was reportedly died on JANUARY 2010 without an actual date according to our available reporters. Ali Chukwuma seemed to be very much in oneness with Ozoemena Nsugbe who sang a tribute following his death.

According to our research, the below was a comment made by a fan of Ali recently,

When Ali Chukwuma died, something went out of me. He was an Igbo musician who captured much of the essence of our love of dignified art-making. The narrative about him did not state that he fled with his mother to Atani, his mother's place, as is customary with Igbos who are threatened in their fatherland. His mother had fled after his father's relatives swooped in to torment the freshly-widowed woman. If you listen carefully, you will note Ali's mention of her in some songs. It was in Atani that he got to know , his mentor. They had a rancorous separation later.

Living at , I listened to some of his earliest songs after he left Chief Osadebe's band. One song that will always touch my heart is “Late Everest Oguchi” (Ogbuchi?). In that song Ali Chukwuma did an eternal panegyric to a respected teacher, not the usual rich subject of Nigerian music. In “Eje Anabu Isi” (Eje Ana Bu Isi) he captures the exile's longing for home. Unfortunately, he never accomplishes that longing for a return to Aboh.
