Crayon recalled their final conversation just days before her death, where she had prayed for him, as she did every new month. The prayer, he said, would be her last, a memory he will forever cherish amidst his sorrow.

“Wetin come be the reason why I dey ginger? After all the suffer wey we don suffer for decades, na now wey God don bless us, you come die leave me?” He stated.
Crayon, who watched his mother carry the family through many struggles, questioned the unfairness of losing her just as they were beginning to enjoy the fruits of their hard work.
“Four days to my birthday you die leave me ehn mummy. Naso we go celebrate? Ehnn my sweetheart? Naso?” he wrote, expressing his disbelief at losing her just days before his own birthday.

“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.” As he continues to mourn his mother, Crayon ended the tribute with a heartfelt promise, stating, “Till we meet again my angel.”
