In the sad video shared on TikTok by @newscentraltv, Tochi’s tribute was read by one of her friends during the memorial.
She reminisced on all their shared memories together as siblings revealing that he was more than a brother to her.
Tochi revealed that her brother saved her name on his phone as ‘Tochi's sister’ while she saved his number with an ATM emoji.
According to her, someone had asked her brother why he saved her name like that and he responded with "Who wouldn't want Tochi as sister?"
The heartbroken girl went ahead to laud her late brother for being more than a friend and confidant to her while still alive.
In her words:
“I've been grappling with the words to honour Chizi since I received the devastating news. But on Thursday evening around 7:03 pm, I felt a whisper of silence, a sign that nudged me to express what was in my heart.
"It feels as though God meticulously designed Chizi and me to be siblings. I used to joke that if we weren't related we would either be sworn enemies or inseparable best friends. Chizi you were not just my brother, you were my confidant, my partner in crime, my best friend.
"I am forever grateful to have experienced a bond with you that transcends words, a love that was unwavering, a sense of protection that was ever constant. Though we must part for now, I take solace in the belief that we will reunite someday.
"Until then, my corporate rockstar rest easy and continue to watch over me from above. You forever reside in my heart. I love you, Chizi.”
