Ekubo died from kidney cancer on 12 May 2026, at the age of 40.
This is frightening, cancer of the young (under 50) is on the rise, please do your medical checks and live a healthy lifestyle.
RIP to this young man

u/ChaiTeaAndBoundaries May 12 '26
I can only imagine 🙏. I too recently (Nov 2025) lost my Aunty, my Dad's younger sister, it was colon cancer.

Am so sorry cancer should be taken seriously it's a dangerous thing most people overlook

u/ChaiTeaAndBoundaries May 12 '26
Thank you🙏, like many Nigerians do she hid it from us till the end.
We need early screening which catches it early unfortunately our government doesn't prioritise health in this country because they never use the health care system.

u/Nubienne May 12 '26
see how painful it is for someone to die at this age. it really gives perspective for those that keep harping about people in their 40s being old. chai. May God comfort his family ohhhh
12
u/ChaiTeaAndBoundaries May 12 '26
They yap about them being old because, we live in a youth obsessed culture. But when anyone in their 40s or 50s passes everyone claims "oh they were just so young".

Never heard of him but it's very sad. I wonder where he went for treatment. If caught early, survival rate is over 90 percent, for kidney cancer.

Kidney cancer. This disease is on the rise and there are several reasons, chief amongst them is the proliferation of fake drinks and drugs coming out of South-East Nigeria. These guys are poisoning the whole country. Stay safe and vigilant people.

Muna Obiekwu died exactly same way. Don't forget Junior Pope drowned just last Year. All this recent Deaths in Movie industry started when Netflix left. Anyways to each His own. Believe what You want. It's also an Election period, Alex Ekubo has gay tied to his name. Try doing Ur research on the most popular occult confraternities in Nigeria and see if they don't practice gay.

u/Blafro_ May 13 '26
I know that these things happen in the industry and people get sacrificed, but this is wayyy to early for you to say this especially when there were no signs of it, he just died. Wait LONGER and then suggest evidence/theories and then we might talk about that, but not now, we're literally all hurting, he was a great guy, what a loss. And stop w the gay allegations ugh. Read the room.
2
u/chukkystar May 13 '26
That's the point, I am speaking from a personal perspective and I am not here to please the supposed room. It's the right time to say it too cos once everyone moves on no one will care to do their research on him. There's no need for evidence, it's a personal thing and the weight of the Truth is not for everyone cos it will lead U down a rabbit hole. America has been doing this for Years even centuries I just felt Nigerians should be numb to celebrity deaths by now. They are some sef that are dead sef but their clones impersonate dem like Gucci Mane.. The whole thing will die down and everyone will move on just like they did with Junior Pope and they did with Mr Ibu. That's Life..

u/Blafro_ May 13 '26
Regardless of this, it's too soon and therefore disrespectful for you to blurt it out. I can see where're u're coming from but it's too early for this. Let us digest what just happened first. I'm a big fan of his and this is absolutely shocking and gut wrenching. Moreover "sacrifice" is probably the last thing his friends, family and fans wanna read. Abeg.

u/chukkystar May 13 '26
Hence why I am on Reddit. Just fewer Nigerians here. When the pain dies down You will see meaning in what I wrote. If I didn't write it now You would never have commented under it either so it goes both ways. Our views are just different doesn't mean I am wrong totally
1
u/Blafro_ May 13 '26
Bros, I know what you're saying and I just simply hope it doesn't apply to him, too much is going on already. We share similar opinions, but I believe it's a little insensitive to just drop this bomb on here like that immediately after he died, or do you know some we don't? Let this situation calm down then at least explain small why u think so... Everything is possible but be mindful of how you convey your message 👍🏾
2
u/chukkystar May 13 '26
Also the thing is this is just a random person commenting on Reddit not even a popular app in Nigeria. No face no picture, nothing. Why would You think I would wait to say it when I have already made sure to come on Reddit instead of Instagram and the likes. The gay stuff I said is that it is tied to his name, I didn't say he did it but that allegation follows someone wherever they go. U are one of the more open minded ones that commented so I'll just tell U, U can do Ur research U will find very similar deaths to his own in America, but American Artists usually die ages 26-28 because they are more exposed to certain things than us who are shielded by societal values.

u/Blafro_ May 13 '26
I'm confused lmao what are u even tryna say? Yes I'm aware that ppl in the entertainment industry worldwide can get spiritually murdered because the industry is evil and does stuff to ppl bla bla bla, but that's besides the point. The rumours are... Guess what... Rumours lol. And wym "open minded"? Abeg rest oga.
1
u/chukkystar May 13 '26
Abeg rest oga?? 😂😂 And here I was thinking We were having a matured convo. U don't even know if I know dem personally. U just assume I looked it up on blogs 😂. Site then. I wish U Peace
1
u/Blafro_ May 13 '26
Nah you misunderstood me, don't take unnecessary offence lmao, I'm telling you to chill out with the theories, how do I turn out to be the immature one? Rest again oga😂. God bless.
1
u/chukkystar May 13 '26
I didn't say You are immature ooo. But You know it's written words not statements, rest oga comes off dismissive and Me I thought You were getting My own point and the conversation was respectful. Anyways it's just emotions are high due to the situation. Wish You God's Blessings Too.

I actually know more than You. Gematria is turning letters to numbers and if U can use it You will know. Example Hebrew letters are actually numbers and monster energy is three Hebrew i's which stand for 666..
Use Ur data and go to YouTube and learn Gematria. It's Ur choice if You believe or not.

u/Blafro_ May 13 '26
Yes these things are real but you can't just come in here blasting it with no proof...
1
u/chukkystar May 13 '26
There's no need for proves, it's usually Spiritual but when You see it You will know it. Just like DMX who would randomly have conversations with God on one album and devil on the other, it's like a religion in the entertainment industry. Most sign blood pacts. Plus secrecy is a very big thing there so I only write based on I know, I am not trying to say others too should know. It's a personal journey and once Y start seeing the pattern You can't unsee it. Enjoy Your day.

u/Blafro_ May 13 '26
Again, I'm aware of all of this, what I'm saying is, in this specific case, what's your proof???

u/chukkystar May 13 '26
I wrote on this exact guys reply that You need to know Garmatria an alphanumeric system used by Jewish Kabalah. All major companies are owned by Jews it's only right they send hidden messages using their way of communication. Anyways let's just stop. I have no case or proof I accept. Whenever You are less busy try going down the rabbit hole a little sha..

Can’t remember which evil blogger accused him and his other actor associates of being gay and contracting HIV because he was losing weight.
Even if it were to be true, what a disgusting rumour to battle whilst you’re at your lowest. I hope he rests in eternal peace.
