Nollywood actor Yul Edochie is still grieving the loss of his friend and colleague, Alex Ekubo.
A day back, Yul had described the deceased as his good friend and brother, noting how his death was a painful exit. Edochie noted that the actor made the world a better place simply by being himself and lit up every room with his positive charm. The light-skinned actor said that, though they mourned, they celebrated the great soul he was and bade him farewell.
Not done, he took to Twitter to continue mourning him. Yul expressed anger at the style of blanking everyone till death is not good.
He said the deceased should have informed some of his good friends, privately, that he was sick, and they would have been there to spend time with him.
“I’ve been cold since the news of Alex Ekubo’s passing broke.
Ikuku you no do us well oo, you no do us well at all.
You should have privately informed some of your good friends that you were sick.
We for come dey with you, everybody go off phone come.
To spend time with you and give you strength.
You never know, help could come from where you least expected.
This style of blanking everyone till death, e no good oo Chief Ikuku.
The pain you inflicted on us is terrible”.
A few days ago, Edochie had sent a message to his gender as he decried the alarming rate of the death of men. He noted that men are dying untimely these days and admonished them to take care of their well-being, cut off anything that gives them stress, and do the things they can and leave the ones they can’t.
While reacting to the deaths of two Nollywood cinematographers, Yul lamented over the many untimely deaths in Nollywood. The actor prayed for God to strengthen the deceased’s families.
While reacting to the series of untimely deaths in Nollywood, he attributed the deaths to the relegation of traditions for foreign worship. He stated that the spirits being worshipped are powerful and have departed in anger because they were abandoned. Edochie urged everyone to return to their pure and powerful traditions.
Giving a possible solution, he admonished Nigerians to return home and embrace their traditional ways. According to him, if one keeps it judiciously, untimely death will never be their portion.
Earlier this year, Yul had reacted to the death rumours about his father, Pete Edochie. He hailed him as his man for life and the Lion of Africa, declaring that his father would live beyond 100 years. Shutting down the death rumours, Yul said his father is alive, hale, and hearty.
