Ify Ekubo, the sister-in-law of late Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo, has opened up about the deep pain and frustration she feels following his untimely demise. In a heartfelt tribute, she revealed two specific promises the actor made before his death that now leave her shattered.
A Phone Call That Never Came
According to Ify, shortly before his birthday, she and Alexx had a phone conversation during which he promised to call her back. Tragically, that call never came, and that conversation became their last. She expressed her anguish, stating that she is left frustrated and hurt by this unfulfilled promise.
Shattered Plans for June in Houston
Ify further disclosed that they had jointly planned a family itinerary for June in Houston, Texas. With Alexx's sudden passing, those plans are now completely ruined. She admitted that there were still many things left unsaid and unfinished between them, and she feels deeply upset that he left without saying goodbye.
A Mentor to Her Children
The grieving sister-in-law also highlighted the significant role Alexx played in her children's lives. He was not just an uncle but a mentor and elder brother figure to them. She described his departure as unfair to her children, who viewed him as their ultimate guide and mentor. They miss him dearly, and she struggles to explain his absence to them.
Public Reactions
Ify's tribute sparked an outpouring of sympathy on social media. Users like @funnyboneofficial recalled meeting her family in Calgary, while @ikeoluwa.adekanbi noted that Alexx was loved by all and wished his death had not happened. @imma_runnit2_da_top admitted to crying after seeing posts about him.
