A Nigerian marriage counsellor, Oluchi Uzongwa, has shared her thoughts on a touching moment involving Anwuli, the wife of late Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo, during his service of songs.
The Nigerian film industry and countless fans were plunged into grief following the death of Alexx Ekubo on May 11, 2026. The actor reportedly passed away after battling metastatic kidney cancer.
To honour his memory, a service of songs was held on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, at the Monarch Event Centre in Lagos. The event drew family members, friends, colleagues, and several notable figures from the entertainment industry, all gathered to celebrate the actor’s life and pay their final respects.
Marriage Counsellor Reflects on Alexx Ekubo’s Wife
After watching clips from the memorial event, Uzongwa took to her Facebook page, Secrets of Love, Marriage and Health, where she shared a personal reflection on what stood out to her during the ceremony.
According to the counsellor, seeing the late actor’s wife at the event stirred deep emotions and served as a reminder about the true value of love and relationships.
The Facebook post read: “Seeing Alex Ekubo’s wife holding back tears at his candlelight service reminded me that love is never truly measured until moments like this.
“As I watched the candlelight service, I couldn’t help but think about how important it is to cherish the people God has placed in our lives. Life is fragile, but love expressed at the right time leaves a lasting impact.
“May God comfort Alex Ekubo’s wife, family, friends, and everyone mourning his loss. Rest in peace Alex “After seeing this candlelight service, what is one thing you would like to say to your spouse, partner, parent, or loved one today?”
Meanwhile, another observer drew attention to a remark made during a tribute delivered by Alexx Ekubo’s sister-in-law at the service of songs.
Sharing his interpretation of the speech, he explained that a particular statement caught his attention and prompted further reflection on the role families play in choosing life partners.
He partly said: “I listened to the family’s tributes to late Alex Ekubo which was delivered by his wife’s sister and one thing she said that caught my attention was that their family was particular about the type of man their daughter Anwuli should end up with because she is a jewel in the family.
“What I understand there is that the family was actively involved in helping their sister Anwuli choose a husband. I hope this family didn’t reject Anwuli’s heaven-ordained husband in the process of using their human eyes and senses to choose a husband for their sister.”
Exactly because as at when they married alex must have already had signs that he was not doing well
