A Nigerian man has shared a sad story following the service of songs for late Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo. The service took place on June 10, 2026, at The Monarch Event Center in Lekki, Lagos.
Man Receives Sad News After Service
Nwebunu Nzube Emmanuel took to Facebook on June 11, 2026, to reveal that he lost a family member shortly after the event. He reflected on the inevitability of death and urged people to love more and live beautifully because tomorrow is not guaranteed.
Emmanuel noted that while Ekubo spent his life attending others' funerals, he became the one being mourned. He received news of his aunt's death while at the office, which deeply affected him as he remembered how she helped his family during his mother's burial.
Emmanuel's Emotional Reflection
He wrote: 'Yesterday was Alex Ekubo's Service of Songs, and honestly, it hit hard. What surprised me was discovering that he had a wife and child. Many people didn't even know this, then I saw several posts claiming he died without a wife or kids. I guess some people will have to bury their assumptions in shame now. But that's not even why I'm writing this. Death is a journey every one of us must take someday. When Alex was alive, he attended other people's funerals and Services of Songs. He watched people being laid to rest, comforted grieving families, and paid his last respects. Today, he is the one being mourned. That is the reality of life. Yesterday, while I was at the office, I received a call that one of my aunts had passed away. I was emotionally shaken. The first thing that came to my mind was her children and the husband she left behind. This particular aunt attended my mother's burial and helped ensure everything went smoothly. She stood with us during one of the most difficult moments of our lives. Now, preparations will soon begin for her own burial. Life has a way of reminding us that nobody is here forever.'
