Despite meeting him only three times, Edochie noted that Ekubo’s warmth left a lasting impression on him. He fondly recounted a memorable visit where Ekubo arrived at his hotel accompanied by a cow and Ogene drummers to personally invite him to an event. Edochie further expressed his sorrow over the loss of the actor, noting that Ekubo had been actively planning for his upcoming 80th birthday celebration, a milestone that will now be marked by his absence.
In his tribute, the veteran actor also commended IK Ogbonna for his unwavering loyalty, highlighting how Ogbonna stood by Ekubo as a steadfast friend during his life and has continued to honor that bond following his passing. Edochie summarized the loss by stating, “Alexx Ekubo came, he saw, and he left an indelible impression. I met him three times… I was told he had big plans for my 80th birthday celebration next year, but unfortunately, he is gone. IK Ogbonna proved himself a true friend, both in life and in death.”
Nigerian Afrobeats artist Raheem Okoya—son of renowned industrialist Rasaq Okoya—announced on Wednesday via Instagram that he is stepping away from professional music release. What initially started as a casual hobby and bonding activity with friends evolved into a professional career featuring major performances and recognition from childhood idols.

While the “Siraheem music” era is wrapping up—just months after the May 1, 2026 release of his eight-track debut project, By The Order Of The City—Raheem noted that he plans to channel his creativity into new ventures. He added that music remains therapeutic for him, leaving open the possibility that his unreleased album might eventually see the light of day. Since beginning his professional music journey around 2022, he built an audience through tracks like Bad Bitch Syndrome, Kowope, SOWETO, and TRU$T FUND.

NOLLYWOOD IN MOURNING AND SHOCK: Another Beloved Veteran Actor Secretly Battles Cancer Just Days After Ogogo’s Tragic Passing!.
Veteran Nollywood actor Musiliu Dasofunjo, widely known as Baba Johunomi, has disclosed that he is battling prostate cancer, using his platform to urge Nigerians to pay close attention to bodily changes and seek prompt medical care.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a video shared on Facebook by colleague Kunle Afod, the actor recounted how he initially ignored early warning signs, which began as an unusual change in his urination pattern—specifically a split stream. Over time, the condition escalated into severe difficulty in passing urine, prompting him to visit a hospital. After undergoing various tests and scans, he was referred to the University College Hospital (UCH) in Ibadan for specialized biopsy procedures.
A Call for Early Awareness
Reflecting on his ordeal, Johunomi admitted that an earlier awareness of the symptoms might have prevented the illness from reaching its current stage. He chose to speak publicly to raise cancer awareness and encourage individuals never to dismiss unusual health shifts.
His brave disclosure comes closely on the heels of the death of another veteran actor, Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, who similarly passed away following a battle with cancer.
