An emotional tribute allegedly written by the wife of late Nollywood actor Alex Ekubo has surfaced online, touching the hearts of fans and admirers as they continue to mourn his passing.
The now-viral note offers a glimpse into their relationship, marriage, and the deep bond they reportedly shared. In the tribute, she affectionately referred to the late actor as her “Dadaa” and recalled some of the special names he called her, including “Pookstar,” “Asa IKUKU,” and “Nwa.”
According to her, those names became more than nicknames, serving as a symbol of the love and comfort they found in each other.
Reflecting on some of the most difficult moments in her life, she revealed that Alex was her greatest source of strength after the loss of her mother a year ago.
“When my mother passed a year ago, you were my anchor. You held me together during a season where everything felt heavy. Your love gave me the strength to keep putting one foot in front of the other.”
She also disclosed that she still finds herself reaching out for him daily, only to remember that he is no longer physically present.
The tribute further revealed how Alex often expressed his love through handwritten notes left around their home.
“Little messages from my Dadaa to his Nwa. Sometimes sweet, sometimes just a simple reminder that I was loved. Dadaa, you mattered. To so many people, in so many ways.
And that is why this loss feels enormous. You are my Dadaa, you will always be my favourite human being. Forever your Nwa.”
Describing their relationship as a faith journey, she stated that they prayed together, trusted God’s promises, and built a life anchored on love and faith.
She also noted that Alex touched countless lives through his kindness, generosity, and willingness to care for others.
“Before there was Pookie, before there was Pookstar, there was Asa, Asa ikuku, one of the very first names you gave me and there was Nwa. The name somehow became home.
When my mother passed a year ago, you were my anchor. You held me together during a season where something felt heavy. Your love gave me the strenght to keep putting one foot in front of the other.
I find myself reaching for you in a hundred different ways each day, only to remember I cannot. How do I live in a world where I won’t hear the random bursts of you calling out, ‘pookstar’?
If love could be measured in little things, you would be impossible to quantify. It was in the details you carefully recorded, the things people mentioned once and forgot. I treasure the notes you left for me around the house.I would find your notes tucked into drawers, on mirrors, beside my things, hidden in places only I would think to leave them. Little messages from my Dadaa to his nwa. Sometimes sweet, sometimes just a simple reminder that I was loved.
Our marriage was in so many ways, a faith journey. We prayed together, trusted God and his promises together. No conversation was ever too ordinary for prayer. You spent your life trusting God, you pointed so many people back to him, including me. Dadaa, you mattered. To so many people, in so many ways. And that is why this loss feels enormous. But grief is not the end of your story. I know heaven welcomead you with the same joy you brought to so many of us and I know God’s beloved son has come home.
Being your wife was the greatest honor, I will always be forever grateful that, of all people in the world, I was the one who got to share this life with you and having your love is one of the greatest gifts God has ever given me. I hope you always knew how deeply i loved you, Dadaa. I thought I understood the depth of that love while you were here.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You are my Dadaa, you will always be my favorite human being.
Forever your Nwa.“
