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”.

Ruth Kadiri wrote, “Such a heavy day. I made sure to check up on you regularly. I feared for this day, yet it finally came. Rest well, Alex. And god give your family the heart to bear the loss. Sleep well Ikuku

Kunle Remi, “Ikuku The Breeze…… Your Caption says it all.

You walked this earth with GRACE, KINDNESS, PEACE, LOVE.
And everything in between.
Thanks for sharing yourself with us.

This REALLY Hurts Bro!
I checked on you…
I still spoke about you yesterday…
A GOOD MAN!

In everything,

JESUS IS LORD!

God is taking care of you.
Bask in His peace”.

Death is so rude!
My bestie!! Why Lord? We had a plan. Where do I start from?”

because we don’t really die, we transition
Alex belongs to Jesus, and Jesus has taken his baby
The most important time of a man’s life is his last few years on earth, and I am happy you spent yours more in the presence of your maker.
Till we meet again, brother.

I no go cry for you oo
Cos you’re smart, head done

Igbo boy.
Rest easy, my man.
Bye for now”.

Celebrity designer, Medlin Boss wrote, “Words Fail ME
My Blood My BROTHER.
My Friendship For Nearly 2 decades.
And stayed true and loyal till the END.
A KIND HEARTED MAN Full Of Life Aha Wake Me Up O SIGHHHH.
GOD, I have so many questions with no Answers.
HEAVEN GAINED AN ANGEL. Gone but Not Forgotten, you will forever Live In OUR HEART.
I love You REST IN THE BOSOM OF THE LORD.
RIP IKUKU ONYEM OMA Chai Chineke oooo”.

In another post, she wrote, “It’s Been A LONG DAY …
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
This is hard. All I have are a million good memories, Alex ONYEM A REAL ONE A VERY RARE GEM Hmmmmmm HEAVEN GAINED AND AN ANGEL WE LOVE YOU, BUT GOD LOVES YOU MORE”.
