A Nigerian lady, Jennifer George, has taken to social media to react to the death of Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo, who recently passed away due to cancer complications. In her post, she recounted an encounter she had with him when they were both in 100 level and explained why she would not mourn him.
The announcement of the actor's death went viral online, drawing emotional responses from members of the public. Though it was widely reported that the actor had died of liver cancer, his family later clarified that it was metastatic kidney cancer.
Recalling the Encounter
On her Facebook page, Jennifer George shared what happened when they attended a class in 100 level at the Faculty of Law, University of Calabar (UNICAL). Her Facebook post read:
"No Alex… it shouldn't have been you. Back at Faculty of Law, UNICAL, you were one of the gentlest and most easy-going souls anyone could meet. Jovial, warm, full of life. I still remember that elective class in 100 level when I couldn't find a seat because everywhere was filled up. You jokingly offered to carry me on your laps and we all laughed about it. Funny enough, when my legs became tired from standing too long, I eventually took the offer.
Life later took you on a different path away from law, but you still carved a remarkable name for yourself. The first time I saw you on screen, I felt genuinely proud. Proud that you found your place. Proud that you dared to become more.
Your life reminds us that purpose is not measured by length of years but by depth of impact. Jesus lived only 33 years, yet the world still speaks of Him centuries later. Truly, it is not how long, but how well and how far.
Every time you appeared on our screens, you made us proud. You brought laughter, entertainment, joy, and light to many homes. You lived fully, loved deeply, and fought bravely. So no, I do not mourn you… I celebrate you. I celebrate a young man who fulfilled purpose, touched lives, and left footprints that cannot be erased.
You were indeed a warrior. Rest well, dear brother."
