According to him, he would never attempt to eat or drink anything if he attended the funeral of the popular actor. He argued that anyone who is genuinely hungry should eat from their home before coming to a burial ceremony or wait until they return.

Taking to his Facebook page, he wrote:

"I saw people who went to Alexx Ekubo’s burial yesterday eating. There’s nothing worst as this. The last thing I will ever do is go to a burial and eat. Never will I do that. How do I say I am mourning someone and still eat at the funeral. I’m not saying I won’t eat that day. If I am hungry, I eat from my home before coming to the funeral, or after the funeral I go to my house and eat; but not eating and drinking in the funeral ground. This isn’t just the igbos, almost every tribe in Nigeria does this. A burial, and you see people eating and drinking. Some carry plates from their houses to come and steal foods, to take home. Some are not really there cause they are mourning, but because they want to eat and drink. All the burial, I have attended; no matter how hungry I am, I will never eat or drink there, if you bring a food, I will ask you to pass it to the next person, if you bring a drink, I will use my head to nod a NO to the person. That’s how it’s supposed to be. Haba! I know you are not me and I am not you; but there’s no sense to this."
