Popular Nigerian comedian, Bovi, has taken to his IG page an emotional tribute to his pretty friend who just passed away in
an unfortunate incident. Read the tribute below.
SHE USED TO BE THE SWEETEST GIRL
-Chinenye is dead
The words punctured my eyes like a sword to my chest. I didn't believe
what I had just read.
I met @nenyebelle three years ago in Oghere where I had gone to host a
retreat. She was one of the ushers hired to work at the event.
Amongst all the girls, she stood out with her radiant smile that seemed
to slow down the sunset. She was warm, friendly, civil and professional.
Our brief chat was so hilarious and informative, I instantly fell for
her charm.
Even though we exchanged numbers at the end of the event, it was another
year before I ran into her again at an event in ikeja. This time she
was a guest. We exchanged pleasantries and our chat was brief because we
really didn't have a lot to catch up on! This time around she was
draped with the poise and composure of a lady who had matured with time
while retaining her youthful bounce.
It would be another 6-8 months before I will talk with her again. She
had decided to start a business as I had advised. She was creating her
own unique flavors for her cocktail business. She complained about the
slow patronage and other difficulties. But I encouraged her to continue
assuring her that it was just a stepping stone and not a stumbling
block.
Well, after finishing her service last year and going at life with
positive determination, another car from nowhere lost control, burst
into flames and hit the vehicle she was in. The fire extended to her
vehicle and sadly she couldn't make it out on time. She had severe
burns. This was last month. @nenyebelle fought for her life gallantly.
Even though physically she was unrecognizable, her spirit was
unmistaken.
She took her last breath on Sunday. Her very first day in sainthood. I
don't know what to wish for but I regret the cruelty of tragedy and its
disruption of her smooth sail. I pray for her family in this time of
grief.
Though life goes on, they've been frozen since Sunday.
Dear Chinenye, you lived a good life and though our encounters were few,
I'm grateful for the everlasting impression you've left with me. And
thank you for being my fan.
Your fan, Bovi.
