Why Nadia Buari stopped checking on Alexx Ekubo

Perhaps the most emotional part of her tribute was when Nadia admitted she regrets not reaching out more after Alexx suddenly became distant.

According to her, the actor gradually withdrew from people around him, but instead of pushing harder to reconnect, she chose to respect what she believed was his need for privacy.

“You withdrew so suddenly, and I didn’t push. I thought I was respecting your space,” she wrote.

The actress confessed that she did not call or physically check on him because she assumed he simply needed time away from the public and people around him.
