A Nigerian social media user has sparked online discussion after pointing out what she observed during Pastor Eno Jerry’s arrival at the burial ceremony of actor Alexx Ekubo.
The Nollywood industry was thrown into mourning following the actor’s death on May 11, 2026, after he battled metastatic kidney cancer. His passing prompted widespread tributes from fans, colleagues, and public figures across social media.
In his honour, a service of songs was held on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, in Lagos. He was later laid to rest on June 18 in his hometown, marking the final rites of passage attended by family, friends, and well-wishers.
The observation was shared on X by a user identified as @Iam_sistabibi, who posted a video capturing the moment Pastor Eno Jerry arrived at the burial venue. The scene quickly drew attention online due to the crowd’s reaction as she entered.
Pastor Eno Jerry, wife of Jerry Eze, the popular founder of the New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD) online prayer programme, was seen arriving at the event when several women enthusiastically moved toward her, seemingly to greet her and take photos.
Alongside the video, the X user expressed displeasure at what she considered an inappropriate distraction during a solemn occasion.
The post was captioned: “What exactly are these ones doing? You saw a pastor going to preach and you stopped her to take pictures as how ? Some people go that place to go see celebrities; it’s not like the care about Alex Ekubo family. Mtchewwww.”
The clip quickly generated reactions from netizens, with users sharing differing opinions on the behaviour seen at the burial.
