Following the tragic death of fast-rising singer and vocalist, Ifunanya Nwangene, popularly known as Nanyah Music, a herbalist who survived three snake bites has revealed an antidote for snake bites.
Brand News Day Nigeria understands that Nanyah Music reportedly died after being bitten by a snake at her residence. Reports say she was rushed to a hospital immediately after the incident in an effort to save her life, but sadly, despite medical intervention.
Social media influencer Chucks Eric broke the news of her death on the microblogging site X, formerly known as Twitter, on Saturday night, January 31, 2026.
Eric wrote: “Super-talented and powerful vocalist, Ifunanya, @nanyah_music has reportedly passed away.
“She was bitten by a snake in her home and was rushed to the hospital this morning, but sadly did not survive,” the post added.
Her sudden death sparked an outpouring of shock and grief among music fans, colleagues, and social media users, many of whom took to social media to express their condolences and share tributes.
Reacting to Nanyah’s death, a herbalist on X known as @HerbalistChief, while responding to a question: “if there is a remedy for snake bite“, revealed that the “root of the ‘male’ pawpaw and garlic” can act as an antidote to snake bites.
Chief Herbalist wrote: “As a herbalist who has survived snakebites three consecutive times in the bush, I will share with you how I treat myself each time I get bitten.
“It is important to always have this natural anti-snake-venom remedy available at home or with you when visiting snake-prone areas.
“This preparation denatures the venom of all West African snakes and the venom of the Brazilian rattlesnake, which has no known antidote. It also cures tetanus.
“Grind the root of the ‘male’ pawpaw and garlic together. Add alcohol to the paste, then sieve it to obtain an alcohol extract.
“Give the victim just one (1) tablespoon to drink. The person will be okay. If the victim was bitten by a green mamba, give two tablespoons. Nature heals,” the herbalist added.
Meanwhile, The Pendulum News reports that the family of Nanyah Music is yet to release an official statement.
Before her death, Nanyah Music gained attention, especially on social media, for her vocal talent and growing presence in the Nigerian music scene, with many describing her as a promising artist whose career was beginning to take shape.
