Reality television personality and Big Brother Naija Season 7 champion, Ijeoma Otabor, widely recognized as Phyna, has composed a heartfelt tribute to her deceased sister, Ruth Otabor, while simultaneously celebrating Ruth’s child, who recently turned six.

In an Instagram update on Thursday, Phyna expressed her sorrow and appreciation, depicting Ruth as more than merely a sibling.

“Today, I want to speak from the deepest part of my heart about someone whose presence shaped my life in ways words can barely capture my beloved sister, Ruth.

“Ruth was more than a sister; she was a confidant, a safe place, a protector, and a quiet strength in every storm. Her laughter had a way of softening the hardest moments, and her kindness wasn’t something she performed it was who she was to her core. She carried love with so much grace, gave without hesitation, and taught me what it means to show up for those you care about.”

Reflecting on treasured recollections, she continued: “There are memories of her that accompany me like warm light—moments of solace, shared jokes, unspoken understandings, and the way she believed in me even during moments of self-doubt.

“Losing her left a space that no one else can ever fill, but loving her left an imprint that can never fade. I honor her in the way I live, in the strength I gather, and in every step forward I take.

“Ruth, your name is stitched into my story forever, and I will continue to celebrate you in everything I become. You are loved beyond words, remembered beyond time, and missed beyond measure.”

Phyna then transitioned to a poignant celebration—the sixth birthday of her late sister’s child.

She wrote, “Today also marks a beautiful milestone Ruth’s first child turns 6!

“Happy Birthday to this bright, growing star! You carry a piece of your mother’s light, and watching you become your own person is a blessing.

“May your life be filled with joy, wisdom, laughter, protection, and endless opportunities. You are surrounded by love, and your mother’s spirit lives proudly through you. Shine, little one this world is better with you in it. I love you”

The reality star, who gained prominence in 2022 after securing the BBNaija “Level Up” title, also reflected on her personal journey spanning four years in the limelight.

She expressed, “Four Years of Love, Fame & Family – From the very first day till now, it has been a ride of highs, lessons, memories, growth, and grace.

“My fans my people you stood by me in noise and in silence, in celebration and in controversy, in mistakes and in milestones. You didn’t just support me; you became my family, and together we built something powerful.

“To everyone who has loved me, rooted for me, prayed for me, protected me, grown with me, thank you. Ruth, your memory lives in me I love you baby”
The homage arrives weeks after Ruth sadly succumbed to complications stemming from an incident involving a vehicle associated with Dangote Group.
