Nollywood actress Nancy Isime has sent prayers to those battling cancer.
Kemi Filani reported on Tuesday that the light-skinned actor had passed away on Monday, May 11th, after a battle with Cancer and was 41 years old.
While mourning her late colleague, the light-skinned actress said cancer is such a cruel and heartbreaking disease as it affects not just the person fighting it, but their family, friends, and everyone around them.
Isime noted how so many beautiful lives have been lost, and many are still battling silently every day. She added that it is painful to see how much suffering it causes, yet so many continue to fight with incredible strength and courage.
“Cancer is such a cruel and heartbreaking disease.
It affects not just the person fighting it, but also their family, friends, and everyone around them. So many beautiful lives have been lost, and so many people are still battling silently every day. It’s painful to see how much suffering it causes, yet so many continue to fight with incredible strength and courage. Prayers for everyone fighting cancer, everyone who survived it, and every family grieving a loved one lost to it.
Now Alex Ekubo”.
Last year, netizens expressed concern about Alex’s absence on social media. The light-skinned actor hasn’t been active on Instagram since 2024.
Speaking up for him, Oma Nnadi had addressed those sending her messages about him. Oma told them to stop looking for Alex as he is healthy, well and fine. She noted how everyone must not be on social media.
The talented actor was later spotted in a video with some kids.
In 2023, during the wake of talented Nigerian singer Mohbad’s death, Alex shared a deep message about the irony of life. He noted how people cry for the dead yet keep malice with the living. He pointed out how we envy the successful and avoid the broke (poor) ones.
Also, during Junior Pope’s death, Ekubo wrote a heartfelt note, praying that we be surrounded by people with wisdom and human sympathy in our helpless moments and not those who are more interested in creating content out of one’s situation.
