A Nigerian woman has touched hearts across social media after sharing the final WhatsApp conversation she had with her brother before his untimely death. The emotional revelation has sparked an outpouring of sympathy from netizens who found themselves moved by the poignant exchange.
The Heartbreaking Revelation
The lady, who goes by the TikTok username @essie_collections, decided to make public the intimate digital correspondence that captured her brother's final days. While she chose not to disclose the specific circumstances surrounding his passing, the raw emotion in her posts clearly conveyed the depth of her grief and loss.
In her emotional tribute posted on November 20, 2025, she captioned the revealing screenshots with the words: "Fly high my angel" and "It is well" - phrases that reflect both her sorrow and attempts to find peace with the tragic situation.
The Final Messages That Broke Hearts
The shared chat history revealed more than just final words - it painted a picture of a close sibling relationship and a caring brother who maintained communication even during difficult times. The exchanges showed moments where he had asked his sister to pray for his recovery and later confirmed that he was indeed getting better.
However, the message that has left many Nigerians emotional was his final text, which read: "But, I might not be active for long, I need to rest." These words, seemingly innocent at the time, now carry profound meaning as they represented his last communication with his sister.

Another user, OyinGold, shared a similar painful experience: "My late junior brother told me Goodbye not knowing that will be the last day I will set my eyes on him."
Perhaps the most detailed response came from user Famous_Gem, who reflected: "Sometimes we seem selfish when the one in pains and want to find rest in the Lord but we want to continue seeing them but they are in pains. I lost my brother too this year Oct 16... God loves them more."
User favnma contributed an especially heartbreaking account, writing: "My late kid sister prayed for me, that everything I wish for will come to pass... few hours later, she died. Not knowing that will be her last words to me."
