The family of Alexx Ekubo has formally confirmed the demise of Nollywood actor, ending days of speculation and concern surrounding his health.
In a statement released on Wednesday evening on behalf of the family, they disclosed that the actor died at Evercare Hospital following complications from advanced metastatic kidney cancer after what was described as a brief but courageous battle with the illness.
The family described the late actor as a beloved husband, son, brother and friend, noting that he faced the difficult period with strength, faith and hope.
According to the statement, Alexx Ekubo believed that one day his healing testimony would be shared publicly, even as he quietly battled the illness away from the spotlight.
“It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Husband, Son, Brother, and Friend, Alexx Ikenna Ekubo-Okwaraeke,” the statement read.
“After a brief but courageous battle, Alexx passed away at Evercare Hospital due to complications arising from advanced metastatic kidney cancer.”
The family added that throughout the illness, the actor remained hopeful and deeply faithful despite the pain.
“Throughout this difficult journey, he bore his pain with remarkable strength, unwavering faith, and enduring hope, believing that one day his testimony would be shared with the world,” the statement added.
They also appealed to the public for privacy and prayers during the difficult period while assuring that funeral arrangements and other details would be announced later.
The statement further appreciated fans, friends and supporters for their love, prayers and support throughout the period.
A popular actor and media personality, Aderenle Oluwafemi Edun has explained reasons why he took the decision to practice sologamy and reasons why he chose to do this on his 45th birthday.
The actor , who did self-marriage on June 13, explained in an Instagram story on Tuesday that the sologamy was a celebration of his journey through years of highs and lows.
‘Till death didn’t do us part. So, I married myself. After 45 years of chaos, glitter, survival, reinvention, controversy, resilience, heartbreak and triumph, I remain the greatest love story I’ve ever known.
I am the bride and the groom. And I am marrying every version of myself that fought to get here. Today, I marry the only person who never left my side: ME!’ he submitted while also describing himself as ‘The Bride. The Groom. The Happily Ever After’-
Sologamy, a wedding ceremony where people marry themselves is said to have been a growing trend in the West over the past few years.
Media personality, Daddy Freeze, has mocked gospel singer and pastor, Nathaniel Bassey, over his inability to heal or raise the late actor Alex Ekubo.
DAILY POST reports that Nathaniel Bassey had during Alex’s service of songs last week narrated how he was called by a pastor friend to go and minister to Alex at the hospital.
While revealing that Alex unfortunately died a day before his appointment with him, Nathaniel Bassey noted that he still proceeded to go and pray with the deceased family on the appointed date, which was a day after his death.
Reacting to Nathaniel Bassey’s speech at the event, Daddy Freeze in an Instagram live video over the weekend, said the pastor could have used the opportunity of the visit to bring Alex back to life.
“So we’re sitting down minding our business, and Nathaniel Bassey climbed the pulpit, then he blows the trumpet. Ok, you can signify the trumpet in revelation, linking with the end of the world, it was the end of Alex world, may his soul rest in peace.
“But then he now starts talking and said he has never met Alex before, but then his pastor friend said they should go and pray for Alex and sing for Alex. But they want to go on Tuesday but Alex died on Monday. And then they still went on the Tuesday and still sang and prayed.
“And I’m like really? What happened to all your miracles, healing and your resurrection that you post on your platforms? I would have thought this is an opportunity to show your God’s glory,” Freeze said.
Nollywood actress, Miriam Ogbonna has shared her views on love, revealing that a monetary gift is the only way a man can truly prove his love to her.
The movie star stated that she would never believe a man professing love to her until he backed it up with money.
She explained that gifting a crush or lover money is a good way of expressing love because making money is difficult.
On her X handle, the actress wrote, “If you don’t give me money, I will never ever ever agree that you like or love me.
“You have to give me money. Money is hard to come by. So, if you give me the money you suffered for, ehen, I will know that you like/love me.”
Her opinion on love elicited mixed reactions, with many faulting her view.
