A service of songs was held on Saturday ahead of the final burial arrangements scheduled for later in the week.
In one of her posts that quickly drew attention, Niniola appeared to question the long-held belief about family loyalty.
Without directly pointing fingers, she wrote:
“It’s better to have pure water run through your veins than blood that is supposed to be thicker.”
The statement, though poetic, left many of her followers trying to interpret its deeper meaning, especially given the timing of her loss.
Another post added:
“Death lets you see people’s true form.”
While Niniola did not mention anyone specifically, her words have been widely read as reflections on experiences she may have encountered while mourning her husband.
Some followers believe the singer may be hinting at emotional disappointments or unexpected behaviour from people around her during this sensitive period.
Others, however, argue that the posts may simply reflect the deep emotional complexity that comes with grief and loss, where feelings often spill into public expression.

Reactions trail Niniola's post
Legit.ng compiled the reactions of social media users below:
@gmkayX stated:
"There are countable moments in life when one knows who really is for one. Moments of deep sorrow and moments of climaxing joy. At these points, be not shocked at people display their real colours. Family, friends, close associates."
@UnveiledInsight wrote:
"The biggest test of ‘blood is thicker than water’ is usually a funeral. By then, the truth is already impossible to hide. The funny thing is that the signs were always there while everything was fine. We just chose to ignore them until we couldn't anymore."
@its_Miguel04 shared:
"Is so funny when I see people crying out that people don't come through for them during their hard time... Why can't they just assume those people might also have what they are b@ttling with privately."
