"A day made for celebration has turned to condolences. Blessing, this was not the plan. Uka, my man Donish Gold, take heart; you don’t deserve such cruelty from this world. Nigerian medical system failed you. We were meant to pay your pride price on Friday 03 2025 and party properly on 05, and you died on Friday 03, a day meant to be your happiest day. Saddest month ever. Why God?"
Another mourner shared her heartbreak, recalling how full of life and joy Mirian had been in the days before her death.
"My sister, as we fondly call each other. You left everyone in shock and agony with your sudden death. You were very healthy and excited over your traditional marriage that was supposed to hold tomorrow, being 5th October, until death snatched you away from us last night. I just wish this whole news was a prank, but reality keeps making me sad."
