DeleteI kept checking.
Same here Slutty, I was checking the blog per sec to see if Stella will post it …the sad news was all over X but I wasn’t sure, i said when I see it here then I will believe
DeleteKai 😭😭😭 we waited for his comeback but death struck, God rest his soul and comfort his families & friends
Babes, I kept hoping it was a rumour, but no.
DeleteI guess he did not want the media to begin carrying the news of his illness around, reason he kept it.
DeleteReminds me of Muna Obikwe"s death too. He didn't want the public to know he was sick too. We only heard when he had passed. Such a young, handsome actor too. Rest in Peace, Alex Ekubo.
DeleteRip Alex
ReplyDeleteNever knew he was married. May God comfort his family
Didn't know he was too, may God comfort her, his siblings and his loved ones.
DeleteI thought he was supposed to marry on miss Fancy in Yankee, but it didn't work out for them?
DeleteThere was a problem so it was called off. May his soul rip. There was a time someone posted a picture of him playing with a child. It is well Amen.
Delete@9.22 They are talking death you are talking his marriage. DUNCE!
DeleteSo sad. Rest in peace handsome 🙏🏿😭😌
ReplyDeleteA reminder that death is a respecter of no one. All the money, beauty and influence won't matter when the time comes. RIP Alex.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm I tire
DeleteHis wife is so beautiful. RIP Alex.
ReplyDeleteReally? Didn't know he was married
DeleteIt's really sad reading about Alex this way. It's so painful abeg.
ReplyDeleteRest well Alex with your Maker. May God comfort your loved ones.
Rest well Alex big name....
ReplyDeleteI learnt he wrote his "will" down....
ReplyDeleteMeaning they gave him a date?
LIFE!!!!
Chaaaiiii
DeleteMy God! 😢
DeleteSo painful
DeleteSo Sadddddd 😭
DeleteMay his soul RIP,
Deleteone does not need to have a death day to write a will though. Besides having a diagnosis of cancer is enough for one to write a will especially if the person hase an estate to will.
I never knew he was married and DF mentioned thag maybe fancy leaving him in 2022 tipped him into depression as well. People and assumptions...
May God grant his family the strength t bear this loss
Wow! May his soul rest in peace
DeleteI was shocked! Chai... E pain me oooo. It was the only thing I was seeing all over my FB TL.. May your beautiful soul rest in peace my crush 😥

Woow just woow, child? Zero emotional intelligence...idiot @ anon 09:24
DeleteAnon 12.00 e tire me. Some of the kind people wey dey this blog tire person. Zero empathy, zero sense, zero wisdom.
DeleteWhy are you talking like this?
DeleteI saw the news yesterday, but I was waiting to read it here before I will believe that the News is true, Kia very painful may his soul in peace with the Lord Amen 🙏
ReplyDeleteFancy Acholonu dodged becoming a young widow, her parents are very prayerful.
ReplyDeleteAlex, you impacted the world with your talent, rest well.
What do you mean by dodged becoming a young widow though? That does sound off...they broke up since 2021...some people would have moved on , got married and even parted within that time frame... can people stop dragging ex into this? I only found out from thos post that he was even married.
DeleteRest in peace Alex
This is a very insensitive statement. All of us will die;only God knows when
Delete09.27 Just keep quiet if you have nothing sensible to say. Some of you lack emotional intelligence and sense.
DeleteOmoh! What kind of comment is this for Christ sakes?
DeleteYou guys are evil honestly, young widow, old widow, wtf..what sort of fools visit this blog???
DeleteMeanwhile you don't know what is waiting for you in front, yet you are making callous insensitive statements. May God have mercy on your wicked soul.
DeleteHa…Jesus!!!
ReplyDeleteSo it’s true.
Alex later got married? Oh such a sad news..
ReplyDeleteMay God give Alex Ekubo eternal rest.
I was sad yesterday when the news broke, I went to bed thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteLife is indeed fickle, today you are here, tomorrow you're gone.
Easy and peaceful rest to him🙏🏼
Very sad that I was so bitter
DeleteMay God rest his soul
This one hit differently 😭
ReplyDeleteRIP Alex
He quietly got married after all the Fancy online drama and went low.
ReplyDeleteMay his soul rest in peace.
May God comfort his family.
ReplyDeleteThis is sad
God rest your soul 🙏
ReplyDeleteWhat a painful death 💔😔
ReplyDeleteThis is not the comeback I am expecting 💔
May his soul rest in peace
I was praying and hoping it would just be another one of fake news that normally pop up on ph*n*x, until I'm seeing it everywhere, I didn't know he was later married, this is very painful and heartbreaking, I pray his soul rest in peace, and God comfort his loved ones.
ReplyDeleteAlex, you were too young and handsome to just leave like that, death is unfair.
May his soul rest in perfect peace🙏. This is really sad! May God grant his family and loved ones the fortitude to bear the loss. Such a huge loss! 😢😢😢
ReplyDeleteI cried, hoping it wasn't true.
ReplyDeleteMy night was restless.
This morning I still hoped it was a rumour.
It hurts badly.
It's sad.
It's scary
May his soul and the souls of faithful rest in peace.
Did you both know each other personally?
DeleteUna too dey overdo
11.43 not everyone is as unempathetic as you.
Delete11:43 its not overdo, I cried too. I avoided sm like a plague yesterday cos I couldn't come to terms with it. . Oh, Alex you were so jovial and full of life. May God rest your soul.
DeleteMay God console the family he left behind. May his soul rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteIt is well
ReplyDeleteIt's such a sad loss. Didn't know he was married. May your soul rest in peace, Alex.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of those death announcements that touches everyone and makes us pause to reflect on life itself. We may not have known him personally, but his life and personality impacted so many people.
ReplyDeleteHe was one of those celebrity sweethearts you simply could not fault because he always seemed genuinely good-hearted and admirable.
May his gentle soul rest in the bosom of the Lord, and may God grant his loved ones the strength and fortitude to bear this painful loss, amen.
Ron.
Yes exactly. He seemed like a really easy going chilled person that doesn't like wahala.
DeleteA very painful death
ReplyDeleteMay God rest his soul
Very sad news, you will be greatly missed, I loved his playful side like a child.
ReplyDeleteRest in peace, Dear Alex.
Mariam.
May his soul rest in peace may God comfort his family.

ReplyDeleteDamn!! Dis one weak me..RIP bro..
ReplyDeleteSomeone mentioned it on the blog yesterday and when I got home, I said I must search for the news to see if it is true. When I eventually saw it, everywhere first blurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Na wa. It is painful sha but God knows best. Rest well Alex.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a ill health announcement, never knew it was his death. Rest well bruh
DeleteDeath sets all of straight-He gives and He alone takes life. But the death of one only stops us in our track for a second before we return to hatred, competition, oppression, jealousy, envy, greed, back biting and slandering etc. Who came here with anything? Who will leave this world with anything? Not the super wealthy, employer, employee, rich, poor, married, divorced, single, lame, blind, deaf or dumb; not even the learned or unlearned, polished or rustic, beautiful or ugly, tall or short. It's all a stage and everyone with his script with assigned date for birth and death.
ReplyDeleteWow. My condolences to his family.
ReplyDeleteGood night Alex 😓
ReplyDeleteMay God grant you eternal rest in His bosom 👏 I pray the Holy spirit comfort your loved ones & friends 🤗
You impacted people with your short life,You will be sorely missed.Goodnight Alex
ReplyDeleteI still could not come to term with the fact that Alex Ekubo has gone to be with the Lord, sleep well bro. May comfort wife your and the family you left behind.
ReplyDeleteI am deeply saddened by his death, may God Almighty comfort his family and may his soul find rest.
ReplyDeleteMay God comfort all of his loved ones.
