Reactions trail Nanyah Music’s death
Legit.ng compiled the reactions of social media users below:
@DaSTReet5 stated:
“I can’t stand the thought of a snake slithering into my apartment or even coming near my house, it’s something I always push out of my mind right away. I have no idea why I dislike that creature so much; it just gives me the creeps. Back in the old days, every home kept antidotes for snakes and scorpions handy because those dangers were common. But now, religion has pulled us away from that practical knowledge and self-reliance.”
@Honey4rmDErock stated:
“It is not an ordinary snake, wicked people on the rampage,, protect your life and your family, dwell in the secret place of the most high God, so as to escape from their wicked activities”
@Odelora_ shared:
“So heartbreaking Gone too soon. Rest in peace, Ifunanya (Nanyah_music). A rare talent silenced tragically. Prayers for her family, friends, and everyone who loved her music.”
