Ghanaian actress Nadia Buari has shared an emotional tribute to late Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo, revealing that she kept a private journal filled with memories of their friendship.
According to Nadia, she secretly documented moments they shared together and gave Alexx the code name “Liam” in the journal to protect his identity in case it ever fell into the wrong hands. She recalled telling him about the nickname, and he responded with a smile, saying he liked the name.
The actress explained that she had written about Alexx for years, preserving special memories and experiences they shared.
However, her tribute took a more emotional turn as she reflected on the period when the actor gradually became distant from those around him.
Nadia admitted that she noticed his sudden withdrawal but chose not to interfere because she believed she was respecting his need for personal space. Looking back now, she regrets that decision and wishes she had reached out more often.She expressed deep sadness over not calling, visiting, or checking on him during that difficult period, believing at the time that he simply needed privacy.
Following news of his passing, the actress said she has been overwhelmed by thoughts of what she could have done differently.Her heartfelt message touched many fans and colleagues, who described it as a painful reminder of the importance of checking on loved ones, even when they appear to want to be left alone.
Many social media users reacted with sympathy, remembering Alexx as a talented actor and kind-hearted individual whose loss continues to be felt across the entertainment industry.In a related development, an old comment by Alexx Ekubo about marriage resurfaced online.
The actor had humorously responded to people constantly asking when he planned to settle down, saying that while he focused on making money, others seemed more concerned about his marital status than he was.Nadia’s tribute has since sparked conversations about friendship, mental health, and the need to support people during difficult times, even when they choose to keep their struggles hidden.l
