By Francesca Hangeior
Nollywood actor, Alex Ekubo has written a heartfelt note to mourn his colleague, Junior Pope, and others who lost their lives in the Anam River boat mishap.
In a lengthy post on his Instagram page, he prayed that we be surrounded by people with wisdom and human sympathy in our helpless moments and not those who are more interested in creating content out of one’s situation.
The light-skinned actor further went on to question what the meaning of life is as he noted how one minute one is alive, another minute the person can be dead.
He revealed that the tragedy of the boat accident has left him in shock as he noted how the day of Junior Pope’s death coincidence with his birthday.
According to him, he hasn’t been able to attend any event or function properly since then as he can only imagine the unbearable pain and utter confusion of the families of the victims.
“What is the meaning of life?
One minute we are here, the next minute we are not.
The tragedy of the boat accident that happened days ago, still has me shocked to my bones.
While I was celebrating my birthday, others were fighting for their lives.
I haven’t been able to attend any event or function properly since then, as I can only imagine the unbearable pain & utter confusion the families of all those whose lives were lost are in.
It’s incomprehensible the amount of senseless & avoidable deaths we are faced with each day in this country.
More shocking & heartbreaking is the merry-go-round during a critical emergency, the sheer display of ignorance, nonchalance & high-level illiteracy.
May we be surrounded by people with wisdom, & human sympathy in our helpless moment, & not those more interested in creating content out of our situation.
Dear God, please accept the souls of Jnr Pope, Abigail Frederick, Precious Oforum, Joseph Anointing & any other, forgive them their sins & grant them eternal passage to heaven.
Please oh Lord, give their families divine strength to bear this irreplaceable loss.
If they’ve ever needed you, they need you now.
To those who survived this mishap, or are affected by it directly or indirectly & are dealing with the trauma, please God comfort them on every side.
To us all, let this be a reminder that life is fickle & but a fleeting mirage.
May we tread carefully & go through life knowing that none of us knows which day will be our last.
Yesterday it was #MohBad today is #JnrPope&Co tomorrow it can be anyone.
Death is final, Life is fragile.
What is the meaning of life?
One minute we are here, the next minute we are not”.

”I didn’t say anything to him. I just wanted to buy some clothes and relax before the show. After we entered the mall, I went on my own shopping with my @djchelsea.official and the organizer for the Regina show came up to me and said I have to take pictures with every fan that comes up to me.
”I said you can’t tell me what to do I’m just shopping, enjoying my private life right now and then the organizer threatened to slap me and beat me. I tried to get him to stop and he yelled at me.
“Then I called my Canadian promoter @ajbone1 and AJ told him he can’t speak to an artist this way. Now the organizer shoved and hit my promoter AJ Bone while he continued to threaten me and then he hit me as well!!
