Niniola Speaks Out on Husband’s Death
Nigerian singer Niniola Apata has expressed her deep sorrow following the passing of her husband, Michael Ndika, revealing that she wishes she could have taken his place.
Although the circumstances surrounding his death remain private, the family announced a service of songs on June 4 and his burial on June 5.
In recent social media posts, Niniola shared photos from their court wedding in the United States and described the void she feels since his loss.
She referred to Ndika as the person who gave meaning to her life and admitted that coping without him has been extremely difficult.
The grieving artist said she would have endured any personal hardship rather than lose her husband, adding that no physical sacrifice would have been too great if it meant keeping him alive.
She wrote, “I cannot live without Michael. God, you could’ve taken my kidney, an arm or a leg. You should’ve even taken me instead, but that one person that made my life worth it, you took away from me.”
Continuing, she said, “We did not disturb anybody, just living our lives on our own terms. What a jealous God you truly are because you had the power to spare him but decided to flex muscles. Kukumo, finish what you started na, I’m ready.”
