Anwuli Amakom, the wife of late Nollywood actor Alex Ekubo, has written an emotional tribute to him.
The tribute, which is making rounds online, appeared in the actor’s funeral programme pamphlet.
In the tribute, Anwuli described him as “Dada”, recalling the special names he lovingly called her, including “Pookstar”, “Asa Ikuku”, and “Nwa”.
She said those names have become more than simple nicknames, serving as a safe space and a reminder of the love they shared.
While reflecting on their years together, she described Alex as her favourite person and someone whose presence made life brighter. She revealed that Alex always expressed his love for her through handwritten notes, scattered around their home.
Anwuli said that despite his death, she still finds herself reaching for him, only to be reminded that he is no longer physically present. She described their marriage as a journey rooted in faith, as they prayed together, trusted God’s promises together and navigated life’s uncertainties side by side.
She recalled how he stood by her after the death of her mother. According to her, it was the most painful experience she had ever faced, and during that period, her late husband became her source of strength.
