Bella’s post, which she shared on October 8, 2025, revealed the fleeting presence of the triplets in their lives. Although their time with the family was tragically brief, their emotional impact was profound and lasting. She opened up about the intensity of her prayers, expressing that she had never prayed with such passion and desperation before, hoping against hope for a different outcome. Despite the heartache, Bella took a moment to uplift her sister Oge’s incredible strength during these unimaginably difficult days, underpinning her message with love and admiration.
Bella wrote: "Dear Zion, Zoe, and Ziva, your time here was all too short, yet the love you brought into our lives will remain forever. Your brilliant, everlasting spirit shone through every moment we shared. Never have I poured my heart into prayer the way I did for you. While your time was brief, it overflowed with love and hope. To my sister Oge Okagbue, your courage amid this hardship inspires us all. I love you beyond words. Rest peacefully, little angels."
This stirring tribute has struck a chord across Nigeria, sparking waves of empathy and condolences flooding social media. Many users reflected on the sheer trauma of losing a newborn, with some acknowledging that such pain might be beyond what most can truly understand.
Comments included heartfelt prayers and reflections such as:
