Renowned Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and her husband, Dr. Ivara Esege, have suffered the heartbreaking loss of one of their twin sons, Nkanu Nnamdi, who passed away at 21 months old after a brief illness on Wednesday, January 7, 2026.
The news was confirmed in an official statement issued by Adichie’s communications team, signed by Omawumi Ogbe, which described the family as devastated and appealed for privacy as they mourn in seclusion.
Oh dear!!! This is so disheartening!
ReplyDeleteMay God comfort the family and grant them the succour they need at this trying time.
May the soul of the little angel rest in peace with the Lord.
Amen 🙏 To lose a child is heartbreaking 💔
DeleteMay God comfort his family 🤗
Me I've just been wondering this thing;
ReplyDeleteWhy can't both twins survive?
It's rare, very rare to see both twin borns live, grow up and grow old.
Even the ones that have grown to adulthood some still suddenly lose one twin.
Why is that? Is there a story behind this?
Yes, I'm a twinnie and I have other twins in my family as well.
Why exactly is it that way?
i no understand this your comment o.
Deletei know so many twins who have lived till old age.
Did any of the twins in your family die young?
May the soul of the very young boy rest in peace and may God comfort his parents
All the twins I know,grew up together.
