Miracle, the bodyguard to late Nollywood actor Alex Ekubo, left mourners and sympathisers heartbroken at the deceased’s wake-keep, when he said that he still keeps wishing that everything was still a prank.
Miracle, who described Alex as his mentor, big brother, friend, and father figure, said he was still struggling to come to terms with the actor’s passing.
“I always call him Doc, Chief Ikuku Ikenna. I named my son after him because he was a great father to me. You’re not just my boss, you’re my mentor, my big brother, my confidant, and one of the most important people in my life. I keep wishing it was all a prank,” he said.
The emotional bodyguard recalled how he spent years working closely with Alex, sharing conversations, making plans, and learning valuable life lessons from him.
According to him, Alex had a unique way of communicating, and could easily tell when something was wrong, revealing that the late actor taught him how to treat people with kindness.
“Doc, I opened your door as I always do, expecting you to step out. I stood there hoping and praying that this wasn’t real, but you didn’t step out.
”Your commando is shattered. I can’t look at your pictures anymore. I can’t watch your movies anymore. Everything I have today is because of you. Boss, I love you. I will always love you. Keep resting till we meet again,” he added.
