Phyna Says Grief Has No Timetable After Facing Backlash Over Moving On Quickly Following Sister’s Death
Phyna, Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, has addressed criticism over appearing to move on quickly after the death of her sister, Ruth. A video showing her at a nightclub with actress Regina Daniels shortly after the burial drew backlash online, with some accusing her of being insensitive. On X, Phyna shared a heartfelt message: “Grief has no manual, no fixed face, and no timetable. The fact that I choose to keep living, smiling, or sharing moments does not erase the pain I carry. Respect the process, even if you do not understand it. If you cannot extend compassion, then at least extend silence.” Her words underscore that grieving is deeply personal, and outward expressions of life and joy don’t erase the pain she feels. The backlash highlights society’s tendency to judge public figures for how they mourn. While some defended her right to process grief on her own terms, others criticized her actions. Phyna has also voiced dissatisfaction with Dangote Group over her sister’s burial, accusing the company of negligence and insensitivity. Her response shows her determination to navigate grief in her own way while remaining resilient under public scrutiny.

My best friend, the best woman I have ever loved, my favorite person in the world — I lost my mum. I spoke to you the days before and like you always do every new month, you prayed for me. I didn’t know that would be your last prayer. You sounded so healthy and like nothing was wrong. Only for my whole world to suddenly crumble right in front of me.” He recalled that his mother had sounded healthy just days before her passing and had prayed for him, as she did every month. The shock of losing her so suddenly left him devastated. “Ah mummy, seeing you lie lifeless on that hospital bed broke me to pieces — it was my greatest fear. I can’t believe that’s the last image of you I’m ever going to have. You always said we should never question God, but that’s all I’ve done since that day. Mummy I don ask God why tire! Why now?

So many questions I will never get answers to. I will never be the same, I’m scarred for life.” Despite the heartbreak, Crayon vowed to honor his mother’s legacy and continue supporting his family: “Nothing will ever be the same. Every milestone I hit will never be the same, every achievement will never be the same. This is an everlasting scar I’m never going to heal from. My angel as we lay you to rest today, I know you’d want me to be strong, and to keep pushing. I promise to take care of Naza, and the rest of the family. I love you so much and I miss you every day! I will never say goodbye because I know you are living through me and you are always with me. Thank you for everything my beautiful mummy. Till we meet again my angel. RIP, EVELYN CHUKWU.” Crayon’s tribute highlights the deep bond he shared with his mother, the shock of losing her suddenly, and his commitment to carry forward her love and strength in every milestone he reaches.
