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.
