Heartbroken Friend Reveals Promise to Late Singer Nanyah Before Tragic Snake Bite
A Nigerian man who was a close acquaintance of the late singer Ifunanya 'Nanyah' Lucy Nwangene has shared an emotional tribute, revealing a personal promise he made to her shortly before her tragic death from a snake bite.
Emotional Facebook Post and Video Tribute
Augustin Chuka Malize took to Facebook to post a heartfelt video showing himself and Ifunanya singing a Christmas song together during the 2023 holiday season. The video has drawn significant emotional reactions from social media users across Nigeria.
In the caption accompanying the video, Augustin disclosed that he had promised Ifunanya he would not repost the clip after sharing it once. According to his emotional account, the late singer had jokingly told him they needed fresh meat, referring to new music content she was excited to release in the future.
Unfulfilled Musical Dreams and Plans
The friend revealed that Ifunanya had been looking forward to several new projects, including a cover song he had planned to release. Tragically, she did not live to see any of these musical plans come to fruition.
Augustin expressed deep pain and disbelief over her sudden death, stating that he was still struggling to come to terms with the loss. He described Ifunanya as a talented musician with a beautiful soul, emphasizing how unfair it felt that her life ended so abruptly.
Raw Emotional Statement from the Friend
In his own words, Augustin wrote: The last time I posted this video, I promised Ifunanya Nwangene I won't post it again, in her words 'we need fresh meat lol' the video is overdue since 2023 Christmas. She was looking forward to the fresh meat, including my Val cover, and now, she won't even see it again. I can't still bring myself to say the words that starts with an R and end with P; I'm still in denial. Someone that has a lot to offer to this world as a musician, and with a beautiful soul, just goes like that because of snake. I'm confused; it's not fair. This one hurts deeply!!!!

- Casmir Thaddeus commented: So sorry for your loss brother. I have wishes to meet her in person, but that's no longer possible. It's bad!
- Emmanuel Akunne said: I chatted with her 5 days ago. My superstar is gone.
