Loosing you hurts me everyday – BBNaija Kahfi pens tribute to late brother
Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Khafi Kareem has voiced her sorrow on the second anniversary of her brother’s death.
In 2020, her brother, Alexander Kareem, was shot near his family’s home in Shepherd’s Bush, West London, by an unidentified assailant.
On Thursday, the reality TV personality uploaded a song written by her other brother, @kabiz k, as a tribute to the deceased on Instagram.
Khafi also urged anyone with information about the incident to come forward and assist in finding the perpetrator.
she wrote in the caption, “Today marked two years since my brother Alex was murdered in cold blood on the streets of London.
It feels so wrong to commemorate this kind of anniversary; wedding anniversaries, birthdays, etc. are things that should be celebrated and remembered, not a day of death. But two years on and still his murderers have not been found.

“This is NOT OKAY. It hurts me every day and is not getting any easier, I just find better ways to suppress my grief as time goes on, but every time it arises it is like a dagger to my chest afresh.
It has made me so sensitive to any news of death, especially shootings like those in Owo, Uvalde, and particularly news of young black boys dying needlessly. They trigger so much for me.
“So I was dreading today. And if I had it my way I would have buried my head in the sand and pretended this isn’t my reality.
I had 3 brothers and now I only have 2. And the people responsible are still walking the streets.
“It makes me so so angry. But my brother @kabiz_k wrote this song (full song in my bio) and it expresses so much of how I feel, I couldn’t share it. Please listen, in memory of my brother Alex and all the fallen.
Their deaths will not be in vain. And if you have any information on Alex’s death, it is not too late to speak up.”

The Senior Pastor of Freedom Life International Christian Center, Richard Tochukwu, has declared that gospel music possesses the spiritual capacity to transform Nigeria, describing it as a divine instrument capable of restoring hope and unity in the nation.
Speaking during an interaction with journalists, the cleric said music inspired by God’s Word can positively influence Nigeria’s spiritual and socio-political landscape by promoting peace, comfort and moral revival.
According to him, gospel music goes beyond entertainment and should be seen as a ministry tool for national healing.

“Gospel music is not just sound; it carries power. When songs are inspired by Scripture, they can heal hearts, restore faith and redirect a nation toward righteousness,” he said.
Pastor Tochukwu made the remarks while discussing his latest worship single, “I Want To Pray,” a spiritually reflective song produced by Audio5.
He explained that the track was created to encourage believers to remain steadfast in prayer and maintain consistent fellowship with God.
The song draws inspiration from Luke 18:1, which urges believers to pray always and not lose heart.
A spiritual son of Paul Enenche, Pastor Tochukwu revealed that most of his songs are birthed from deep study of Scripture.
“Sometimes while studying or preaching from a passage, a melody begins to flow. The lyrics are drawn directly from the Word. Our songs are intentional; they carry the same message we preach,” he explained.
Reflecting on his journey, he recounted beginning as a drummer who also sang before discovering what he described as a divine instruction to minister through music.
“I realised that you don’t minister only through preaching. God made me understand that songs are another channel through which His Word can reach people. Every release is backed by Scripture,” he added.
Pastor Tochukwu currently serves in Lagos, combining pastoral leadership with music ministry.
The audio and video for “I Want To Pray” are now available on major digital streaming platforms.
