Reacting to the funeral of Alexx Ekubo, which took place in his hometown of Arochukwu on June 18, a woman has voiced her disapproval of certain aspects of the ceremony.

Lady shares her views on Alexx Ekubo’s funeral
In her reaction, @kunnujic expressed sadness over what she perceived as the ease with which people move forward after someone’s death, suggesting that Alexx would eventually be forgotten by many.
She argued that Alexx’s relatives should not have permitted the preparation of food or the presence of a live band at the burial ceremony, maintaining that both were unnecessary given the circumstances surrounding his passing.
She further encouraged people to make the most of their lives, noting that individuals who may be unwilling to offer help during difficult times are often willing to travel great distances to attend funerals.
Her tweet posted on June 18 read:
“They cooked at Alex’s funeral. I watched the livestream on TikTok; people were eating while some danced.
“It’s easy to see how people quickly move on and will soon forget him. If you ask me, the cooking and live band weren’t necessary because he died too early.
“Please enjoy your life, as people can’t cross a gutter to assist you but will cross oceans just to bury you.”

@Kudosify1 said: “That is just fact …. Assuming they way people gather for burial arrangement the same people get to help each other, we will be living fine and a good life.”
@NancyAigbebhalu said: “It depends on culture and traditions. The age doesn’t really matter to them. They just wanna do it the way it ought to be done regardless.”
@Miracle13157406 said: “In Igbo land, they cook in burials and celebrate people’s lives and Alex was also a titled man. It’s part of our culture.”
@didi2949 said: “You expect people that travel far and wide for the burial of a title chief not to eat at the burial.. Ona dey talk oo.”
