Check out the post below:
“I only knew you at/in your death, I wondered why everyone seemed so sad n mourned you publicly. My first thought WHO IS SHE, I did the girly thing..slide into your page, watched your beautiful life. Took a stroll to your DM and I fell in love with you immediately,” Dikeh wrote.
Dikeh continued, “You tried to reach out as a support and pillar IN MY TRYING TIMES. You were one of the only people who tried to help me and you didn’t even know me. In your honour, last year, I gave seven women IVF treatment to celebrate you in private. Am grateful for the love you wanted to give me… KEEP RESTING IN PEACE MA’AM.”
Ighodalo died of a suspected heart attack on June 14, 2020, a her 40th birthday. Yesterday was the first anniversary of her death. She was the wife of Pastor Ituah Ighodalo of the Trinity House Church.
She was the founder of Ibidunni Ighodalo Foundation, a non-profit organisation created to raise awareness on issues about infertility. The foundation also provides grants for couples that require fertility treatments such as in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) and intrauterine insemination, which was why Dikeh decided to honour the memory of Ibidun Ighodalo in that way.
