Social commentator Solomon Buchi has strongly condemned a feminist for making what he described as insensitive and wicked remarks about late Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo, who died at age 40 after battling metastatic kidney cancer. The actor was buried in Arochukwu, Abia State, on June 18, 2026, drawing widespread tributes from fans and colleagues.
Feminist's Post Sparks Outrage
Shortly after the burial, a user identified as @QueenDoris16 posted on X (formerly Twitter) suggesting that Ekubo had been selfish for marrying while knowing he was terminally ill. She wrote: "I don't know if I'm insensitive o.. I like Alex Ekubo.. but I think it was selfish of him to get married knowing fully well that he's sick and might likely not make it. Imagine making that innocent young girl a widow." The post quickly drew backlash, with many Nigerians condemning the tone as disrespectful to the grieving family.
Buchi's Fiery Response
Reacting in a video shared on Instagram on June 20, 2026, Buchi expressed outrage at the post and similar online behavior. "When I tell you guys that Nigerians are some of the most wicked people in the world, you guys think I'm joking? Wicked, insensitive, unfeeling, inconsiderate. They lack boundaries. They will disrespect your boundaries. If you affirm those boundaries, they will say you are proud. Gossips, false accusers," he said.
Buchi questioned how anyone could make assumptions about Ekubo's marriage without knowing the private details. "All of a sudden, the woman is a victim, and Alexx, even in death, is the evil guy. He was selfish. And they always start with, 'I don't know if I'm being insensitive.' You are insensitive, idiots. You are insensitive," he added.
Warning Against Online Trolls
The commentator further criticized Nigerians who seek out personal details of grieving families only to troll them online. He warned that such behavior is harmful and urged people to respect boundaries, emphasizing that not every thought should be shared on social media. He captioned his video: "How can one be incredibly insensitive about a family that’s mourning? Let Alex rest in peace. And please, always keep your sensitive business away from Nigerians."

Previous Criticism by Buchi
Earlier, Solomon Buchi had criticized gospel singer Yinka Alaseyori for her remarks on the abduction of schoolchildren in Oyo State.

Buchi insisted that prayers cannot replace effective policymaking and warned against using religion to prevent citizens from demanding accountability.
