In Loving Memory of
Hassan Ahmed Fathiat
“Lives are like rivers: Eventually they go where they must. Not where we want them to.” _ Richard Russo
Hassan Ahmed Fathiat was a radiant soul, a true embodiment of light. She had an exceptional ability to illuminate every room she entered and leave an enduring impression on the lives of those fortunate enough to truly know her. Fathiat held a deep appreciation for people, and for her, kindness was not just a choice but a way of life. She had an uncanny knack for recognizing the needs of others, extending her unwavering support, and going above and beyond to bring smiles to their faces. Her presence was a gift, and her vibrant smile, if not the most beautiful, was certainly the brightest beacon in any crowd.
Selflessness defined Fathiat’s character. Her actions were always driven by love and a genuine desire to better the lives of those she held dear. She was fearless in her pursuit of what she believed in, a true advocate for her convictions. Fathiat stood as a symbol of hope, a source of inspiration to all who had the privilege of knowing her. To know Fathiat was to love her profoundly.
This book is a tribute to the loving memory of a cherished friend and sister, not a somber reflection of her passing, but a celebration of the remarkable life she led. Fathiat’s legacy is one of boundless love, and it is the hope of those who have been touched by her light that this legacy will continue to shine brightly.
Consider the following questions as a guide:
- How did you come to know her?
- What were the qualities you admired most about her?
- In what ways did she impact your life?
- What would you miss about her?
- What memories of her would you keep?
You can also add a picture, video or voice note capturing your favorite memory of her. May God strengthen us through this difficult time.

In loving memory of Hassan Ahmed Fathiat, my dearest friend and sister, a kind and selfless soul whose heart was pure and gentle. You touched our hearts with warmth and brightened up our days with genuine acts of love and kindness in so many ways.You were always around to lend a hand to show that you cared. We may have started off as friends but we turned into family. You were the glue that held the FRISTERS relationship till this day. You were the most upright and resilient person I knew. Lol, I remember how I used to rile you up all the time to call me big sister because I’m older with a few months and how you used to tell me off. I miss you so much my darling. It is so hard and painful to think that I will never be able to speak to you again. We had so many plans! I have so much unsaid words! May Almighty Allah in His infinite mercy expand your grave and grant you light upon light. May He have mercy on your soul, forgive your shortcomings and grant you Aljannah Firdaus.Ameen. Rest well my sister….

My Fathy boo, I often think back to that fateful day in March 2014 on Hostel Road. It was the day our paths crossed, as we shared a ride to college with the same person. It’s incredible how some people linger at the edge of our lives until they step into our world, and we wonder why we didn’t discover them sooner. But I believe we crossed paths at the perfect moment in destiny. it was your intelligence that captivated me first, your boundless creativity, and then the depth of your love. Oh! if only words could explain how much you poured into me. With each battle I faced and every hurdle I overcame, it became clear that you were the missing piece in my life’s puzzle. You showed me the true essence of friendship. I had many faults as did you, but failing to express our love to eachother was never one of them. We wrote countless letters, sent heartfelt texts, and left cherished notes. Each one was an attempt to convey the depth of my love for you. I wanted you to understand how exceptional you were, a rare gem among us all. Little did I know…

Dear Fathiat, I’ve always known you to be a sweetheart even though we were never close, I could tell you were very peaceful and loving. This news came to me as a shock and I really wish it wasn’t true. I’m so sorry you had to leave so soon. Rest well love 💕 …

To the sweetest girl who doesn’t have a bad bone in her body. Fathiat you were too good for this wicked world. I put off this message for as long as i can because i couldn’t write it without bursting into tears. This has been really hard, i know we shouldn’t question God but i can’t help but ask why because i can’t understand why you are not here with us. I can hear you clearly in my head saying To-To as you like to call me😢 the smile on your face even when you are stressed and not in a good mood. To me you were not a friend, you were part of our family. Thank you for being a companion to my sister and making her experience in school worthwhile. I pray that you have found peace that this world couldn’t offer you. The Igbinigie family will forever be grateful that we got the opportunity to share our lives with an angel. We miss you and love you very much….

Fatiiiiii!! I would always call you and you’ll return with the same energy. I met you in my final year and we just clicked!Your radiant smile with your gap tooth. I’m glad I got to know your heart. This picture perfectly describes what we were like around each other. We always had something great to share. It was either one great recipe we wanted to try out or a movie we wanted to talk about or something in life.I’m glad for all the food recipes we tried and even the ones we invented, the ones we talked about but didn’t get to try. I remember our puff puff experiment amongst others.Our online experiment that didn’t work out. You were such a sweet soul. Thank you for being my experiment buddy. It brought great joy to my heart. I’m glad I got to take this screenshot and show it to you. I’m going to miss you greatly. Rest well my Fatiii. …

Fathiat: A friend, sister, lover, someone who never allowed her religion affect her friendship, 100/100 wife material, sincere to the core, someone who believed and always support her friends mentally, academically, spiritually and financially. You were one of the most decent girls I ever met in my life, always know how to handle issues and emotions, the memories we created together will always be in my head. You are gone but will always be in my heart, my dear rest well because words won’t be enough to describe your personality, your flaws were the perfection of many. If there was something more than decent that would be you. My National Sec Gen Emeretus, Student’s Physiological Association of Nigeria (SPAN). Your selfless service then was top notch. You will always be missed LULU. …

Dearest Fathiat Ahmed Hassan (LULU) The one whom my entire being sincerely adores, composing this note to you makes my heart sink. I honestly don’t know where to begin,how to begin or what precisely to say. My eyes are loaded up with tears,my heart is filled with so much pain. I met you and my life never stayed same. I remember meeting you in college on my way to the physiology department asking you how I could organize my file,what was needed and all that. The warm smile you gave,with the help you offered attracted me to you. We started off from there being friends and ended up becoming sisters (FRISTERS). We grew together in every way, experiencing the good, bad and ugly together. You had flaws cause you’re human but you were meek enough to accept your wrongs and change.You are a natural when it comes to being honest, showing love and care to people. When things got tough in our relationship you were always selfless, ready to sacrifice, the peacemaker, the thread that held our relationship together *😂* Every moment we’ve spent together lives rent free in my heart,from visiting and helping children in the orphanage, to…

My dear Fathiat, my dearest mother in our complicated Room 14 family tree🥹… What started as a joke became so real to you and I that, almost 10 years after, we still shared such an amazing bond. My favorite memories with you have to be rapping “Ghostmode” by Phyno and Olamide together, dancing makosa together and spending those long long nights on a single size mattress by the corner in room 14 talking, sleeping or just being quiet together. I missed you when you had to go to college but I knew I could always reach out to you if I missed you too much and you will call me “Awele Nkome!” but this “missing” is so different, too permanent! I wish you didn’t go Fathiat… You were so sincere, so kind, the most thoughtful friend and really one of the coolest and most peaceful people I have ever met 🥹 Thank you for sharing your life with me, for loving me… I will remember you fondly very often my dear mama. I hope you are in a better place and you are allowing God take care of you as you very well deserve💕Sun re…

I remember how she calls me Printus and the name stuck with me through out secondary school. I can’t believe that the last time we chatted was going to be the last time I would be hearing from you. I am sad, I have cried, I have thought about the possibility of you waking up and saying it is a prank. I remember a message you sent asking how I was and how you have been praying for all your friends and how you want them all to succeed. I know that wherever you are, you are resting peacefully. Till we meet again, rest on Fathiat ❤️….

My dear Fathiat, the news of your demise remain the saddest news for me in a long time, there’s so much about you that can never be forgotten in a hurry, how you impacted me personally with your level of decency and sincerity, you were always looking out for your loved ones, willing to give your last just to show support, you are what words could ever describe as a free SPIRITED SOUL.I remember my first encounter with you back in the university, A day I sarcastically offered your dear friend a pen just to stop you guys from complaining about your faulty pen, you went on to show how mannered you are by showing appreciation on behalf of your friend.From that day till your death you have been an amazing friend and one of a kind.How can I ever forget that you were always in front on anything that has to do with me, my number one cheerleader with so much enthusiasm about my progress, ready to defend me till the last even in my absence.How can I forget those bright smile and simplicity.I’m confident that you are resting on the right hand of God with no more…

I met fathiat through my son’s dad family i still remember the first day we met and how comfortable she made me feel,and when I realized we stay in same school hostel it was pure bliss. fatiath was such an amazing person her personality was bright So selfless and willing to lend a helping hand When tragedy struck she would always reach out to me to ask if I have eaten,how I’m feeling,she never stopped. I was in a really sad phase of life and I barely even took calls but when it’s her call or text I would brighten up. she has such great powers to just make you happy. She would always reach out to me to ask about my son after I gave birth to him ask for pictures.she was truly a great person and it was beautiful. fathait lived a really good life bringing light to peoples lives mine included i miss you fathait….

Meeting fathiat in secondary school was a blessing. She was one true friend. A friend who stood up for me, even as young as we were you had this motherly instinct and will always look out for your own.over the years you remained a true friend. from time to time Fathiat always wanted to know what’s up and to make sure everything was fine. I love you fathiat and I will always cherish those times we shared. Its heartbreaking to know you are no more. You were such a sweet and amazing person, you had this kind of cheerfulness that rubs off on me whenever you were around or we talked. Ah! Fathiat this one hits deeply. Rest on Priceless Jewel….

Dear Fathiat, Fathilo, Sugar, trouble maker. I remember the first time I saw you in college, you were sitting on the fence and watching a football match, you didn’t even remember even after I tried so hard to make you. Our first communication was at the photocopying center in 2015. There and then , I knew you had something special in you. Friendship turned relationship and back to friendship. In all, I never stopped loving and caring for you. We had a smooth, hilly and rocky relationship but you never gave up on me. Even when I do, you would always find away to draw me closer. Your words of encouragement were second to none, your guidance helped me get through a difficult phase in my life, your dedication to SALAH, qur’an and fasting was something I admired about you.Your wonderful voice, how you would argue with me over Davido’s flaws. Your love for dancing was second to none, you always teased me for being stiff bodied. I really wish we had more time together, your 5% tax on my salary is still waiting for you, you meant so much to me. I am soaked in tears writing you…

I remember when I first met Hassan Fathiat, I was drawn to how confidence, intelligent and caring you were and I was immediately drawn to befriend you and truely you were even more of these things when I got to know you.I always admire how religious and prayerful you where and never afraid to stand for what you believed in and this this rubbed off on me and made me want to know God for myself. I always admire how highly you held onto friendship and how you stood solid behind your friends ready to bend over for them and this made me want to be better. My dear sweet fati boo-boo, I sure will miss you . I miss how I could just talk to you whenever things aren’t going as plan and you would share some words of encouragement with me,i miss how I could share my good news with you and you’ll celebrate with me, I miss how just seeing you worship God inspires me to do better. I miss your laughs and how we lay down just reading stories and talk about it in the goofiest ways and I wish this was all a dream….

Oh Fathiat, I really wish I wasn’t writing this at this time or any time at all. Still coming to terms with everything. I’ve known you since 2010 and you were an amazing friend to me. I really wish you could laugh at my jokes one last time and tell me of how much silly I am. You really impacted my life in more ways than one. I remember when I was down mentally and you helped me thru it all. Gave me a shoulder to lean on and never complained that I was a burden. You made friendship look so amazing, I could literally tell you everything and not fear that I would be judged. I MISS YOU SO MUCH AND YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO GO. We had so much planned. You will forever remain in my heart Fathiat Hassan I will always Love You …
