She wrote: "In two days Alexx Ekubo will be laid to rest, like the ground will welcome his body just like that. This is not nice mehn! If only tears will bring him back all the genuine lovers of him our tears will surely bring him back to life. Even in death he is greatly loved.... Just take a look at the massive development his death is bringing to his community. Wow! His Grace is unmatched and he is truly and deeply loved. But still..... I did rather choose him to be alive than this development whatsoever. He should have lived much longer and kept lightening up the world with his cute, beautiful and contagious smiles. This is still unbelievable and heartbreaking. He lived well and I believe he fulfilled his purpose in life. Alexx my crush in AY's CRIB."
