Nanyah: “10 years ago, you gave me these” – University friend recalls rare gifts from late singer after death

A university friend of the late Nigerian musician Ifunanya Nwangene, also known as Nanyah, has opened up about their amazing times together, just days after the singer’s terrible death in Abuja.

The pal presented rare artefacts that the singer gave her a decade ago, illustrating their particular friendship while at university.

Christiana Aneke, who attended the same institution as Ifunanya, came to Facebook to reflect on their time together.

She admitted that she never anticipated she’d be mourning her friend years after they initially met as freshers.

Reflecting on the gifts Ifunanya gave her during their faculty week event, she wrote: “Ifunanya Nwangene, Facebook just reminded me of this picture I took ten years ago, and looking at the picture, the wristwatch and red muffler I’m wearing, you gave them to me to use for our Faculty week for freshers (FESSA). This was when we were newly admitted into school… Ah Ifu, if anyone had told me that 10 years later I would be making this kind of post for you, I for first slap that person 😭😭😭😭.”

Christiana described how severely the loss has affected her, likening it to the agony of losing her father 14 years ago.

She described Ifunanya’s gentle nature, writing: “I remember the sweet and gentle way you speak. Do you remember the day you said to me, ‘Christiana, even if I’m still sleeping, I know when you’ve woken up,’ and I asked how… You said every time I wake up, I stretch my hands and fingers, so the sound wakes you up too.”

Ifunanya Nwangene died in an Abuja hospital after being bitten by deadly snakes.

Christiana criticised the absence of timely medical assistance.

Read what she wrote below;

“What the heck are snakes, not even normal snakes but cobras and a black whatever una call, doing in someone’s apartment? And to think of the fact that when she got to the hospital she wasn’t attended to immediately because Nigerian hospitals don’t have snake antidote. Ah, this thing dey pain me… Abuja for that matter.”

The friend remarked that the experience might have spiritual overtones.

If this was actually spiritual, those who are responsible, God will judge you 💔. Rest on, my Ifu, as I fondly call you 🕊️,” she added.
