UK-based man mourns singer Nanyah’s death
On his Facebook page, Otuu Obinna Ogbonnia shared a singing clip of Nanyah and shared his interaction with her.
He mentioned how she reached out to him to inquire about relocation to the UK.
His Facebook post read:
“Ifunanya Nwangene; the Nightingale we lost to a snake bite (watch the attached clip): Ifunanya reached out to me via Instagram to inquire on how to relocate to UK(find attached in the second file). I gave her all she needed and she was so thankful.
“When I posted Ebonyi Teachers celebration programme, she asked how she could contribute. I looked through her page and was marveled;I hadnt checked the first time. What a lovely girl she was. The voice in the clip is fully unadulterated by studio elements apart from the recorded keyboard vamp.
“So, I told her I needed her to sing for Ebonyi teachers, and she said “I am in Abuja but consider it done sir.” She asked me of the song I wanted and I said 'Teachers are champions, so sing The Champions.'
“So she organized the choir that sang on 8th October 2025 in WDC Abakaliki where I celebrated Ebonyi teachers(watch the clip to the end to see the choir in action). Apart from the 90k I gave them for malt, everything was free. May be she thought to pay back a very little and usual gesture of me, for those who contact me for such guide.
“Just tonight, my wife showed me viral post of a girl bitten to death by a snake! “Oh my God, Beb this is Ifunanya that organized my choir last year,” I exclaimed!
“Hitherto, I don’t really know what to say. I am just very pained we lost such a golden voice and character! Rest on dear Nightingale; heaven awaits you! Ebonyi teachers will miss you in 2026!"
