“When the News of ihunanya's death came to me...I paused and wondered how someone filled with life, would just like a movie bow to death. It came as an anger and pain.
"Yes, i felt very wounded because i am one person that genuinely adores and appreciates hardwork and talent without resentment. I went back to my chat with "her" and it was like, Life is this you?
When the funeral was fixed to be on 14th February. I said to myself, i know there are lots of persons like me who would want to go pay last respect to this idol, but they may not have the drive or opportunity to do that.
