    Actor Alex Ekubo emphasises importance of family

    Famous actor Alex Ekubo has reiterated  the importance of family.

    Alex, sharing photos of his parents, said those with their parents alive don’t know what God has done for them.

    Alex iterated that family should be the top priority as every other thing should become secondary. 

    According to him, family isn’t just an important thing, it’s everything, and those who put family first, don’t lose everything at last.

    “If your parents are still alive you don’t know what God has done for you.
    Family comes first, everything else is secondary.
    My family is my priority.
    God. Family. Work. In that order.
    Family isn’t just an important thing, it’s EVERYTHING.
    Those who put family first can’t lose everything at last.
    “If you’re giving others more priority than your own family, then you need to understand you are heading the wrong way.
    “I’ve come to realize in my little time on earth, that family is a life jacket in the stormy sea of life.
    “Always put your immediate family first, you’ll never go wrong nor have any regrets.
    Even the word FAMILY says Father & Mother I Love You.

    May God continue to keep my parents alive & healthy for me.
    I love you, Mum & Dad,” he wrote.

  • INEC will not count prayer points, says Alex Ekubo

    Nollywood actor Alex Ekubo has said  it is time to own up to the fact that living in Nigeria has become like living an unending episode of a series of unfortunate events.

    “Well I’m tired, I’m done pretending, so dear World, here are a few truths about about Nigeria your giant of Africa,” he wrote.

    “I once likened Nigeria to the proverbial ‘Small dog, with a big name’ after filming in Cameroon for eight days without experiencing power outage. They called me unpatriotic, they asked for my head on a plate, they called me a sellout but the truth is since I was born, I have never experienced steady power supply in my country. It is important to note I turned 32 in April.”

    The actor said an arm of the police called FSARS, harasses, bullies and extorts innocent and harmless citizens.

    “Herdsmen go into a community killing everyone including harmless women and children and the government of the day won’t declare a state of emergency or move a muscle.

    “We just lost innocent lives as a result of a tanker explosion on Otedola bridge, they still won’t do anything to change traffic/motoring safety…

    “Pls nobody should tell me to #PrayForNigeria. INEC would not count your prayer points. I’ve been praying all my life and nothing has changed. I want to give Heaven a break. This is a call to action, we need to get our PVC & end this before it ends us.”
