Former schoolmate of late Ochanya shares how deceased girl behaved then in school

A Nigerian lady has shared a heartbreaking post on TikTok speaking about the late Ochanya Ogbanje who died of abuse According to the young lady she attended the same secondary school with the late Ochanya and they both had the same guardian Social media users who came across the heartbreaking post on TikTok penned heartfelt comments mourning the deceased girl A young Nigerian lady has moved many to tears on TikTok after narrating her personal experience with the late Ochanya Ogbanje, the teenage girl whose tragic death was linked to abuse. In her emotional video, the lady disclosed that she attended the same secondary school as Ochanya and that both of them were placed under the care of the same guardian. Lady shares experience with late Ochanya The TikTok user, identified as @fynene1, expressed deep pain as she recounted the ordeal that Ochanya went through while she was still alive. According to her, Ochanya was often punished by senior students for "bed-wetting", without anyone realising that the young girl was suffering abuse at the time. She remembered that Ochanya was quiet, timid and frequently ill, spending much of her time at the school’s sick bay. She explained that Ochanya joined the school when she was in SS2 and passed away when she herself was in SS3. The former schoolmate also mentioned that Mr Andrew Obuja, one of the key suspects later linked to the case, had two daughters in the same school, one of whom was reportedly Ochanya’s classmate. She noted that the girls often conversed closely and were seen visiting together, but she never suspected anything unusual until news of Ochanya’s death broke. According to her, both she and Ochanya were under the supervision of a woman who ran a small shop in the school. The guardian was responsible for their welfare and often made them share meals from one large plate. She recounted how the late Ochanya was often teased and nicknamed 'Obanje' by some of the seniors, a name she said came from her guardian’s son. However, despite the constant teasing and punishment, she alleged that the young girl couldn't bring herself to speak up about what she was enduring at the time. The lady further narrated that one day, during her SS3, she saw several cars parked around the school's sick bay, including the principal's, and that was the day she knew that the girl had been going through a lot. She lamented bitterly over the young girl's devastating experience and prayed that justice prevailed in the end. "Justice for Ochanya. She was my junior in secondary school. I don't even like watching her videos. We had the same guardian. I don’t have the platform I need for this story but Ochanya was my jnr in secondary school we had the same guardian," she said. Reactions as lady shares experience with Ochanya TikTok users stormed the comments section to react to the post. @Nwa_oma said: "When we need witnesses please you people should show up." @Bodycare and girlies essential said: "She was in the same class with me I left in jss2." @Lizz Timothy said: "Where was her Parents in all this. 5 good years and her parents couldn’t save her this story breaks my heart." @Chinenyenwa said: "Goosebumps. God Ochanya really suffered till death, see me crying this morning. I Pray Ochanya gets justice." @Ifeyinwa said: "So the woman gave birth to 4 children,3 girls and a boy. Omo ehn the matter long." @Ruthie reacted: "She most get justice, they did all this and want to live a normal life, God judge them." @Palm oil vendor in Isolo added: "When I was in JSS 1 I was sent to go and stay with my aunt and I was not feeling completely cos it's was new to me, each time I see my mom I'll try to tell her that I wants to come back home and stay with her and my siblings but that my aunty no de give me breathing space and my mama no de agree give me listening ears."

He imagined how a brand like “Chioma’s Kitchen” could have grown into an internationally recognised name, attracting support from fans of both Davido and Chioma, as well as the global entertainment community. In his view, the opportunity to transform her fame into a great culinary empire had been lost.He further explained that Chioma had all the tools needed to succeed, capital, influence, and connections.

He noted that her situation should serve as a constant reminder to others about the importance of using available platforms wisely.Read alsoLate Ochanya's elder brother breaks silence in new interview, sends message to president, IGPIn his words:"I've been thinking about Davido's wife Chioma and it may have something to do with you. So here's the turn of thought. Chioma is a beautiful, well traveled, well educated, well articulated professionally trained chef. Hang on to that part. She's also married to one of Africa's most influential human beings. Together they have influence, visibility, power and resources that most people only dream of. But here's what bothers my business mind. With all of this available Chioma does not own a culinary empire in Africa. There's no recipe line, no series of cookbooks or even a well structured and branded YouTube channel. And that I think is a train of opportunity that passed her by. "Chioma had a chance to build a culinary empire. Chioma's kitchen or Chioma's bites could have become the noble of Lagos. A buffet line similar to Blackbell or a cookery brand that travels with Davido on all of his tours. And all Davido has to do is put that in his contract for every tour that he's making. Or restaurants in London, Atlanta, Lagos, South Africa or cooking shows on Netflix or branded packaged foods in supermarkets. Imagine if Hilda Baci's world record was held by Chioma. Instead at the peak of her name where thousands were singing Chioma my lover she did nothing. The station of opportunity came and went and she didn't get on board.

Then you have young guys that dream to become Davido those will be her customers as well. Then you have older women and men that have affiliations to Davido's family that will support him. Then you have a lot of up and coming artists that are hoping to run into Chioma or Davido at any of their restaurants that will support them. Then imagine all the global fans that love Davido and love his wife that would love to eat her cooking because she's very famous for her cooking. She had an entire global market ready for her product that she did not capitalize on. And you can't say she didn't have capital. She's a millionaire. And even if she didn't use her own money there are many people in Nigeria willing to throw millions at her for whatever she wants to do. "You also can't say she didn't have marketing. Davido's name alone is enough. Davido shifted the banking industry of Nigeria with one tweet. This is the level of influence we're talking about. But then to this date we have nothing. But this is where it concerns you too. It's not about Chioma alone. We all have our missed opportunities that we refused or failed to capitalize on. The language that you learned and never actually put it to use. The powerful person that you had access to and instead of using them to open doors for you you ask them for money and eventually they cut you out. The business idea that you had and you never tested and then someone else did the same idea and became a multimillionaire. I'm a victim of that. The lesson is simple. When you have a platform in whichever way shape or form that it comes do not let the train just pass you by. Get on the train and become a passenger so you can start your own journey.

But if you don't turn it into a product that can build an empire the train is gonna pass you by. If you don't build value out of the platform that you have you'll be the greatest at what you do and you'll be the only one that knows it. And maybe Chioma doesn't need any of this. But not everybody can be as opportuned to be as rich and powerful as Chioma. Maybe the one platform you have is the only one that you need to become the greatest at what you do. Use that platform. Because opportunity never slows down. It will either take you forward or leave you behind.
