“It’s a sad day. My Twin sister has left me just two days to our birthday. We the Oji family take strength in knowing that she’ll never have to deal with this world’s problems anymore. We know she’s in a better place now.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IFY. Today we should have been celebrating our birthday but ….. We can’t blame or question your reasons Lord for whatever happens in life cos you said in your word that “your thoughts towards us are thoughts of good and not of evil to give us an expected end”. Ify know that we the Oji family ❤️ you so so so so so so much. Rest in perfect peace.
