Nigerian singer Niniola Apata has expressed deep grief following the death of her husband, Michael Ndika, saying his passing has profoundly affected her life.
Ndika reportedly died on May 20, though the circumstances surrounding his death have not been made public.
In a heartfelt Instagram post shared on Thursday, the Grammy-nominated artiste opened up about her pain, describing her late husband as her closest companion and strongest support system.
She revealed they had been together for about 13 years, calling him “one in a million” and a central figure in both her personal and professional life.
“I find myself waiting, expecting Michael to walk through the door… My BEST FRIEND my CONFIDANT my PILLAR my Gossip Partner my LAUGHTER my JOY GIVER my Provider my business partner my HUSBAND my BROTHER,” she wrote.
“HE was the air I breathe I can’t survive this… I looked forward to him coming home everytime he went out… Even in the house we were always together He never wanted me to be away from him.
“Always wanted me to be by his side I’m naturally a LONER and Micheal was all that I needed because he was one in a Million … He touched my life in different capacities And God took him from me.”
