Alex Ekubo Shares Cryptic Post As he Shades Colleagues While He Mourns Junior Pope And Others

Nollywood actor, Alex Ekubo, has expressed his grief over the tragic boat mishap in the Anam River by penning a heartfelt note to mourn his colleague, Junior Pope, and the other lives lost.

In a lengthy Instagram post, Ekubo emphasized the importance of having compassionate and wise individuals around us during our most vulnerable moments, rather than those who exploit our situations for personal gain.

Reflecting on the fragility of life, the actor questioned its meaning, highlighting how swiftly one can transition from being alive to being gone.

The boat accident’s devastating impact has left Ekubo in a state of shock, particularly as it coincided with Junior Pope’s birthday.

Since then, he has found it difficult to fully engage in any event or function, as he empathizes with the unimaginable pain and confusion experienced by the victims’ families.

He wrote:

“What is the meaning of life?
One minute we are here, the next minute we are not.
The tragedy of the boat accident that happened days ago, still has me shocked to my bones.
While I was celebrating my birthday, others were fighting for their lives.

I haven’t been able to attend any event or function properly since then, as I can only imagine the unbearable pain & utter confusion the families of all those whose lives were lost are in.
It’s incomprehensible the amount of senseless & avoidable deaths we are faced with each day in this country.

More shocking & heartbreaking is the merry-go-round during a critical emergency, the sheer display of ignorance, nonchalance & high-level illiteracy.

May we be surrounded by people with wisdom, & human sympathy in our helpless moment, & not those more interested in creating content out of our situation.

Dear God, please accept the souls of Jnr Pope, Abigail Frederick, Precious Oforum, Joseph Anointing & any other, forgive them their sins & grant them eternal passage to heaven.
Please oh Lord, give their families divine strength to bear this irreplaceable loss.
If they’ve ever needed you, they need you now.

To those who survived this mishap, or are affected by it directly or indirectly & are dealing with the trauma, please God comfort them on every side.
To us all, let this be a reminder that life is fickle & but a fleeting mirage.

May we tread carefully & go through life knowing that none of us knows which day will be our last.

Yesterday it was #MohBad today is #JnrPope&Co tomorrow it can be anyone.
Death is final, Life is fragile.
What is the meaning of life?
One minute we are here, the next minute we are not”.
