The internet has been mourning Alex Ekubo. But one woman is mourning him differently. She knew him before the fame. Before the movies. Before the world knew his name. 🗣️
Sharon Ojong met Alex at the University of Calabar. Back when he was just another student. Back when he had no money, no connections, no guarantee that life would ever smile at him. 😢
She said he was quiet. Private. He never carried his pain on his sleeves. But he always carried kindness in his heart.
Then he became famous. Big movies. Big money. Big name. But fame did not change him.
She recalled how he traveled all the way from Lagos Island to COZA church — not for himself, but to encourage her. To pray with her. To talk about life, purpose, and dreams. 💔
That is the Alex many never saw. The one who showed up when it mattered. The one who gave even when he had nothing.
Now he is gone. And she is heartbroken.
“Thank you for your kindness, your resilience, your laughter. You loved fully. My heart is broken. I will miss you terribly. Rest well.”
The post has already started trending. One person wrote: “This is the Alex we should be talking about. Not the gossip. His heart.” ❤️
Another said: “Imagine leaving your comfort zone just to encourage someone. That is rare.”
Someone else added: “Fame didn’t enter his head. He remained human. Rest well, legend.”
A different voice said: “The people who knew him before the spotlight are crying the hardest.”
The world is scrolling. And this story is making people stop, read, and feel.
