Lady shares unknown details about Alexx Ekubo
The first thing she mentioned was a character trait that made Alexx Ekubo unique, stating that the late actor was a genuine person.
“There are some people you meet in life, and you immediately understand that goodness is still real. Alexx Ikenna Ekubo-Okwareke was that person. A friend for over 20 years that stayed loyal. Not perfect. Not performative. Just genuinely good.
“The kind of man that made you say, ‘this one was raised right.’ He carried respect naturally, laughter everywhere, and stood for truth even when it was uncomfortable.”
Also, she stated that what many did not know about Alexx Ekubo was that he was well-raised and naturally a respectful person.
Sharon also described the actor as someone who showed kindness to people and did not let his fame affect his relationship with people.
“There’s nothing I could write here that I never told him while he was here. He knew he was deeply loved by me. We met in UNICAL as young dreamers chasing acting and impossible ideas. I eventually stepped away, but Alexx knew he belonged in front of the camera. He kept pushing until the world finally saw what we already knew.
“And even after success, some things never changed. He would leave the Island to join us at COZA, and after church, we would sit for hours talking about God, life, dreams and purpose.
“Before the fame, before the spotlight, Alexx loved God deeply. He loved people, family, food, privacy and life itself. And somehow, even with all the noise that comes with visibility, he never lost that softness, that humanity.
“What breaks my heart the most is knowing he carried so much pain over the past few years and barely spoke about it. Even in his own pain, he still found room to pray for me, encourage me, and show kindness to others.”
The final thing she also talked about when it comes to Alexx Ekubo was that he was the type of person who encouraged others and urged them to believe in themselves.
“People see the actor, the celebrity, the public figure. But I knew the human being. The friend. The heart behind the smile. The romantic guy. The family guy. The dreamer. The daddy. Alexx will talk you into believing in yourself.”

She concluded by expressing how she was affected by Alexx Ekubo’s demise.
“I’ll miss you terribly, daddy. You and Otu Njama can now crack all those silly private jokes. Rest well, Alexx Ikenna Ekubo-Okwareke. Chief IKUKU. My friend. My family. Shalexx forever.”
