By Abigail David
Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe has explained why he initially remained silent following the death of fellow actor Alexx Ekubo, saying the loss left him struggling to find the right words.
In an emotional tribute shared on social media, Arukwe said many people had questioned his absence from the public outpouring of grief, but explained that his silence was part of his personal mourning process.
According to the actor, the news of Ekubo’s death was difficult to accept, describing it as the kind of loss that leaves one hoping for a different outcome.
Arukwe recalled meeting the late actor on the set of a film produced by Dabby Chimere and remembered him as a warm, humble and genuinely kind person who treated everyone with respect.
He said hearing tributes from people who knew Ekubo more closely further highlighted the positive impact the late actor had on those around him.
Reflecting on his colleague’s life, Arukwe noted that beyond fame, talent and career achievements, people are ultimately remembered for their kindness, character and the way they treat others.
The actor also stressed that grief is deeply personal and does not always have to be expressed publicly.
“I’ve been quiet, and I know some people wondered why I didn’t post or say anything. The truth is, I didn’t know what to say,” he wrote, adding that some farewells are carried through prayers, cherished memories and quiet reflection rather than social media tributes.
His message has resonated with fans and colleagues, serving as a reminder that people process loss in different ways and that silence can also be a meaningful expression of grief.
