Emeka Rollas Calls for Two-Minute Nationwide Silence to Honour Late Alex Ekubo on His Birthday
Emeka Rollas, former president of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria, has appealed for solemn reflection instead of celebrations on what would have been the late Alex Ekubo’s birthday. The Nollywood actor passed away on May 11 after a brief but courageous battle with metastatic kidney cancer at Evercare Hospital. His family described his fight as heartbreaking and marked by strength. In an Instagram message, Rollas urged friends, colleagues, and fans to skip birthday parties and observe two minutes of silence across film sets, offices, cinemas, and homes nationwide. He called this a time for prayer, unity, and sober remembrance. Fans had grown concerned when Ekubo went quiet on social media last year, but he was later spotted in good health playing with children. His talent, warmth, and laughter continue to leave a lasting impact.
