In a poignant tribute to the triplets lost by her sister, Oge Okagbue, former Big Brother Naija star Bella Okagbue said their love and spirit would always be in their hearts.
Bella addressed the triplets, Zion, Zoe, and Ziva, in an emotional post on her Instagram site on Wednesday. She wrote: “You were here for such a brief moment, but the love you brought into our lives will last forever.” You were strong and full of spirit, and I cherish every moment we had together.
She praised her sister for her resilience during the painful experience, adding, “To my sister @oge_okagbue, your strength during this tough time is nothing short of inspiring. I love you more than words can say. Rest peacefully, little ones.”
Oge Okagbue, also on Instagram, opened up about her own experience, recounting the trauma of going into early labour and losing her unborn children.
“I don’t usually share the sad parts of my story, but today, my heart tells me someone might need to hear this. Four months ago, I lost my triplet pregnancy at six months. Three little blessings I carried with so much love and hope.”
She described the pain as indescribable, noting that the dreams, names, and plans she had for the babies disappeared in an instant.
“The day I went into early labour, my world felt like it stopped. The dreams, the names, the plans, everything suddenly disappeared. There are no words that can truly describe that kind of pain,” she said.
Despite the loss, Oge emphasised her faith in God’s plan and the importance of trusting in a higher purpose even amid grief.
“Though I may never understand why, I’m learning to trust that God’s plan, even when it hurts, still carries purpose. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting; it means learning to live again, to smile again, and to hold on to faith even through the tears,” she added.
She encouraged others dealing with grief to take their time, “I share this not for sympathy, but to remind someone who may be quietly grieving, you are not alone. Your pain is valid, your story matters, and even in loss, there is still love and light waiting ahead. If you’re walking this journey, take your time. Healing isn’t a straight line; some days you’ll cry, some days you’ll smile, and both are okay.”
Oge concluded with gratitude for life and remembrance of her children: “Thank you, God, for giving me another chance at life. I’m grateful for Your mercy, protection, and strength through it all. To my precious babies: Zion, Zoe, and Ziva, you will never be forgotten. Forever in my heart.”
The heartfelt messages from the Okagbue sisters have drawn sympathy from fans and followers, many of whom have shared words of comfort and support in the wake of the tragedy.
