Barber speaks about late Alex Ekubo
Identified on Instagram as Ola Clovis Abang, he explained that he had encountered Ekubo for the first time through the windows of Mt. Hotel, and that the actor had been the first well-known figure to notice him and offer him an opportunity when others had not.
According to him, he had been at a low point and felt overlooked and doubted, but Ekubo trusted him by allowing him to work and spend time with him.
Abang stated that he had not known the actor beforehand, yet he had been treated with respect from the start.
He described the encounter as a blessing that positively influenced his life.
The encounter opened doors he could not have accessed on his own, and people began to recognise and value his work as a result.
He went on to say that the recognition had extended beyond professional connections and had led to him becoming known and respected in his hometown as a barber.
He emphasised that what affected him most was not the fame but the actor’s kindness and generosity.
After only a second appointment, he recalled being invited to Ekubo’s home, where he was fed, encouraged and introduced to individuals who later became some of his most important clients and supporters, including someone referred to as King Khaz.

The young man concluded by saying that he would continue to remember the light Ekubo had shown him, and that he missed him greatly.
