I met Alex Ikenna Ekubo on the set of Dabby Chimere. From the first day he was warm, welcoming and every honor what people describe him as a gentleman. No noise. There is no air. Just a genuinely good man.
Listening to the stories of those who knew him better, I was humbled. It reminded me that at the end of the day, people won’t just remember our talent or our achievements. They will remember our kindness. They will remember how we treated people. They will remember our spirit.
Silence was my first response to the news of your death because sadness also comes with silence. Not every farewell requires fasting. Some are carried in prayer. Some are carried in memories. Some are carried in the heart…”
