A 2020 post by Alex Ekubo has resurfaced. And it is making people cry all over again. 😢
The Nollywood actor, who reportedly passed away at 40 after a battle with cancer, once wrote about his dream of becoming a father. He posted it on May 27, 2020. Five years later, those words are hitting different.
“Dear God of Children, I can’t wait to have kids, so I can call them from their room in the other wing of the mansion to come and pass me the remote control right next to me on the couch.”
He was dreaming. Laughing. Imagining a future with children running around his big house. He even added: “Father Lord, you already know I’m user friendly. Use me oh Lord, at the right time of course. Team #MarriageBeforeKids.” 💀
Now that post has gone viral. And the irony is painful. Alex died without a wife. Without a child. Without anyone to pass him the remote. 😭
Fans are flooding the comments.
One person wrote: “He wanted kids so badly. Life is so unfair.”
Another said: “This post broke me. He was planning a future he never got to live.”
Someone else added: “Imagine writing this in 2020, dreaming of fatherhood, and now you’re gone without experiencing it.”
A fan commented: “Team MarriageBeforeKids… but he never got to experience either. This is heartbreaking.”
The resurfaced post has added a new layer of sadness to Alex’s passing. He was not just an actor. He was a man who dreamed of family. Of children. Of a future.
Now all that is left are his movies, his memories, and this painful post that reminds us how fragile life truly is. 🕊️
