Alexx Ekubo: Why woman feels no sadness

Explaining her statement about not feeling sad for Alexx, Abisayo stated that it is what the actor would have wanted, as he would not want the public to feel bad for him.

Alexx, the face of singer Yemi Alade's hit song "Johnny", left social media in 2024, with his last public update being on December 30 of that year.

Amid speculations, scrutiny and concerns about his social media disappearance, Alexx silently battled his illness, away from the public eye, until his death.

And Abisola was full of praise for the late actor for being deliberate about his happiness in a world where everyone expected and encouraged people to be vulnerable on social media or share their stories.

"I don't feel sad for Alexx. No, let me rephrase that; I don't feel bad for Alexx because that is what he wanted. He didn't want us to feel bad about him

"He was the king of the Chop Life Gang. He was deliberate about happiness. In a world where we are encouraged to share our stories, in a world where everyone is encouraged to be vulnerable online, maybe because they are looking for a story to feast on, Alexx was that person who held that quiet resilience, who held that quiet strength.

"He knew that the world didn't really care, what they really care about is another story to feast upon. So, he probably always took his problem to the Lord..."

Abisola also admired how Alexx never cared to share his side of the story when he was dragged on the internet following his broken engagement.

And while he battled cancer, Abisola liked the fact that he kept it away from the internet, shut out everyone and focused on God. Another part of her Instagram statement read:

"...He didn't care about sharing his side of the story when he had a broken engagement, when his name was dragged in the mud, when all of these happened. He kept his positive stance, and even when he faced death, which I think he faced valiantly, he still kept that strength.

"What a mighty man. In a world where everybody is trying to redefine strength as being vulnerable online, crying online and sharing your side of the story, he carried the burden alone, with God, with close friends. Shut out the world, and looked unto the Lord.
