The wife of famous fashion designer, Yomi Casual, has shared an emotional tribute describing the pain her husband endured while preparing the last suit for his late friend, Alex Ekubo.

In the candid post, she opened up about the close friendship between the two men, revealing what was once a routine conversation about fitting clothes became a heartbreaking farewell following Alex’s death.

According to her, their usual exchanges often revolved around clothes and gear, with Alex often promising to stop by Yoma’s office to try on his clothes.

“A typical conversation between Yomi and Alex

Yomi; ore how far, your clothes are ready

Alex; ore I Dey come office come fit my cloth

A lot of insults follow 😂😩”

She explained that just a few days ago, Yomi had informed Alex that his suit was ready, but this time there was no response.

“A few days ago

Yomi; ore your canvas is ready

Alex; no answer

Yomi goes to the funeral home to lay his friend to rest in a well-tailored suit

Omoooooooo 💔💔💔💔”

Thinking about the emotional toll the experience had placed on her husband, she wondered how he was expected to heal from such a painful loss.

“Alex how do you expect yomi to heal from this loss !!!

This is the hardest job he’s ever done

No, this is not right at all…”

She further praised Yoma’s dedication to making sure Alex looked exactly the way he would want for his final journey, despite the grief weighing heavily on him.

“My eye…. @yomicasual

This past month, and especially this week, was the hardest for you. Alex is proud of you and wouldn’t let anyone dress him, your quest for perfection, the rise and making sure it was exactly how he wanted it, you kept telling me ‘honey Alex, I’m mad if that suit doesn’t turn out well 🥺'”

According to her, Yomi eventually found solace in seeing his friend looking elegant in the suit he had carefully prepared for him.

“You finally felt that sense of honor to see him so dressed up in that suit for the last time, even with so much pain and sadness in your eyes.

Oh my yomi 🥹!!! You did it, I’m proud of your strength and courage

we love you very much

This pain can never go away

💔💔💔💔

Rest in strength oreeee 🕊️”

The touching tribute resonated with many Nigerians online, with fans describing it as one of the most emotional moments to emerge from the ongoing farewell ceremony for Alex Ekubo.
