Alexx Recalls Childhood Promise
He went on to recall moments when she stood by him during his university days and while caring for his father. “Oh, Mummy, I remember during my University days, I had invested my all in organising a student show it started raining heavily, & no one was in attendance. Who did I call to cry to? My mum, who was thousands of miles away, & you cried with me suddenly the rain stopped, & students were able to move freely to attend,” he recounted. Alexx also promised to fulfil his childhood vow of buying her a car and house, describing her as his “Angel.” “Baybee’m, don’t worry, I’ll still buy you that Car & House & all the nice things in Life I promised you when I was 7 years old, because promise is a Debt,” he added.
Context of Family Controversy
The resurfaced post comes amid allegations by a relative that Mrs. Jane Ekubo is not Alexx’s biological mother, and that the two younger siblings often seen with him on social media were adopted children of Mrs. Jane.
