Mo Abudu wrote, “Dear Alex
You will be so deeply missed.
You were such a beautiful human being, loving, real, kind, and always so respectful every single time we worked together. You called me “Mum,” and it always gave me such a warm feeling.
We hadn’t spoken in a while. I remember you travelled last year and replied when you got back. I sent another message after that, and when you didn’t respond, I didn’t follow up. I never imagined there wouldn’t be another chance.
When I had dinner with @omonioboli on her last trip to Lagos, we spoke so warmly about you. @heidiwena and I did the same not long after. You were always remembered with affection, respect, and genuine love.
You were a truly gifted actor. This scene from Your Excellency remains one of my favourites, a reminder of your talent, your charm, and the light you brought to every set.
Rest in peace, Alex
All my love”.

Listening to this speech on my birthday, and now I Can Relate Even More. You Said It All. You Never Know When You Will See Anyone. Last time I saw you, you were praying for me, and I let you finish and told you, Alex, you just pulled a plot twist on me, right? Shouldn’t I Be The One checking up on you, and as always, you assured me you were fine.
This Is Not Okey
This Is Such A Bitter Pill To Chew
