She added that he often asked about her work, her plans and what she intended to do next.
Speaking further, she spoke about their playful relationship, mentioning that she would send him random voice notes teasing him without cause.
She recalled that he would respond by warning her about her lack of respect for his position, while she would remind him that the age gap was not large and that he should take things easier.
At the end of her tribute, she said she would miss their teasing and their easy chats, and described him as a kind individual who brought light into every space he entered.
According to her, he had a way of making people feel seen and valued through his attention and warmth.
She admitted that his death had left her confused, heartbroken, exhausted, angry and in pain.
She ended by saying she would miss him deeply and wished him peaceful rest, using the titles and Igbo phrases he was known by.
In her words:
“WHAT A DEVASTATING BLOW! 12 years of friendship and every single year of knowing you, I remained in awe of your depth, your wisdom, and your reverence for God. You became the older brother I didn’t have. Fiercely protective. Always checking in. Always asking what I was working on, what I was planning, what was next for me.
“I’m going to miss sending you random voice notes insulting you for no reason. I’m going to miss your responses warning me about my lack of respect for you and your title. I’m going to miss telling you that you were not that much older than me and needed to relax. Who will bully me now? I’m really going to miss our banter. You were such a kind person. Such a bright light. You lit up every room you walked into.
“You paid attention to people and made them feel important. You carried warmth so naturally. I am so so confused. So shattered. So tired. So angry. So pained. I will miss you, my guy!! Rest well, IK Chief Ikuku 1. (Agu a na-agba egbe, ọ na-ata anụ! Nwata a na-ayo eze, ọ sị ha, “Go, I will think about it.”)
