A Nigerian man, Lucky Ikechukwu Ujomudike, has taken to social media to share a heartbreaking account of his final moments with late Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo, who died from cancer complications. In his post, he revealed a dream he had about the actor and the phone call he received from Ekubo's mother just before his passing.
The Dream and Phone Call
Ujomudike, known as @luckybayofficial on Instagram, wrote that the past few days had been the worst of his life. He described a dream he had two weeks ago where Ekubo appeared unwell. When he asked what was wrong, the actor gave no clear answer. Concerned, Ujomudike contacted Ekubo's mother, who initially assured him that the actor was fine. However, she called back on Monday asking for prayers, leaving Ujomudike shaken.
Emotional Tribute
In his tribute, Ujomudike expressed disbelief and pain, saying, 'Everything still looks like a dream to me. I don't know how long this pain will last, but we can't question God. You wanted to live a quiet life with your family off social media drama. You always sought my advice in every step.' He added that Ekubo fought hard to stay alive but the pain became unbearable.
The post has gone viral, with many social media users mourning the actor. Comments included expressions of shock and sorrow, with one user noting, 'If me a total stranger is feeling so much pain and crying, I wonder what you all family and friends will be feeling now.'
Clarification on Cause of Death
While initial reports suggested Ekubo died of liver cancer, his family later clarified that the cause was metastatic kidney cancer. The actor's death has sparked an outpouring of grief across Nigeria, with fans and colleagues sharing memories and condolences.
In a related story, a woman shared screenshots of her last chat with Ekubo, recalling their first encounter in 2017. Another post highlighted the actor's ex-lover Fancy's Instagram page after his death. The news continues to dominate social media as Nigerians remember the beloved actor.
