"If you're a lover of football, you would have come across the UEFA Champions League anthem she did. Oh heavens!"
"When that video trended, I think I saw it on X or something because I was looking for her page. I prayed for international recognition for her. I prayed they call her whenever they wanted to do the UCL opening ceremony finals every year. I loved her from afar, I admired Ify, I did not know her."
"My love for football and sports in general made me fall in love with the stranger I was listening to at that moment."

Legit.ng contacted a therapist to ask why some individuals feel emotional pain over the death of someone they never met or knew personally, following the viral story of the lady.
Mr Ogwuche Godwin, a counselor and therapist, explained how this could be possible and why some people react emotionally to incidents like this.
His statement:
"People can feel deep pain over the death of someone they never met because connection isn’t just physical, it’s emotional."
"When we follow a public figure, we see their voice, their struggles, their personality, and the feelings they share. Over time, our brains start to feel like we know them."
"Even though you may never meet the person in real life, you may feel connected to their story, their message, or the comfort they brought you. When they die suddenly, it can feel like the loss of something meaningful, like losing a friend or inspiration. It’s normal, our hearts respond to emotional attachment, not just physical presence."
Mr Godwin also explained steps a person can take to process the grief of a public figure that affects them emotionally.
"Grieving a public figure can be real and deep, and it’s important to process it the right way."
"Acknowledge your feelings, don’t ignore or downplay the sadness. It’s okay to feel it, it shows you cared."
"Talk about it, share how you feel with a friend, family member, or someone who understands. Speaking your emotions helps the pain become lighter."
"Create meaning, you can celebrate the person’s legacy by remembering what they stood for, their talent, or how they inspired you. That turns grief into something positive."
"Limit overexposure, spending hours on a page watching every video or post can keep the pain fresh. Take breaks and balance your time."
"Connect with support, if the grief starts affecting your daily life, like sleep, appetite, or focus, talk to a counselor or someone you trust."
"Grief is a natural human process, and even when the person is public, the emotional impact can be real. But with support, reflection, and healthy habits, that pain can eventually become a warm memory instead of a heavy burden."
