Nollywood actress Nancy Isime has paid an emotional tribute to her late colleague, Alex Ekubo, three months after his reported passing.
In a lengthy message shared on her Instagram page, the actress reflected on the difficulty of coming to terms with his death, admitting that the reality of the loss remains too painful for her to fully process.
Nancy revealed that one of the biggest lessons she has taken from the experience is the importance of creating and preserving memories with loved ones while they are still around. She expressed appreciation for Instagram’s story archive, which allows her to revisit moments shared with people who have played significant roles in her life.
According to the actress, life often teaches people difficult lessons they never asked to learn, with loss serving as a painful reminder to cherish every moment.
Nancy further described Alex as someone whose impact could never be erased, stressing that a personality like his would remain unforgettable.
She concluded on a reflective note, suggesting that true legends never really die but instead transition, leaving behind memories and legacies that continue to live on.
Her words…
“Alexx once saidddd…
Funniest Man in every room!
It’s been almost 3 months since the news got to me, a little over a month since I stood on that stage to host the service of songs, a little over a month since I watched my friend laid to rest.
To be honest, I don’t think I’ll ever let the severity of the previous paragraph fully dawn on me because I just can’t…It’s too heavy.
The slides in between are memories from the last film set we were on together (Drink), memories from our last hosting gig together (Face of Zikel 2021), our last international trip together (one music fest Dubai), and his last (public) birthday wish to me.
Life loves teaching you lessons you didn’t ask for, doesn’t it?
The lessons this season have taught me, wow!!
But in all things, we must give thanks!… So I’m thankful.
One vital lesson I’ve learnt is to capture as many memories as we can with our people!
Thank God for Instagram stories archive!
A Man like Alexx Ikuku Ekubo can never be forgotten.
Legends never die; they transition.
Forever and a day in our hearts.
Fam, what’s your favourite Alexx saying? Keep it going in the comments”.
