Lagos: A heartfelt interview by late Nigerian actor Alexx Ekubo has resurfaced on social media following news of his death, touching fans with his reflections on kindness, forgiveness, and the hidden struggles people face.
According to Ghana Web, the actor shared a deeply personal message about treating others with compassion, regardless of how they may have hurt him, during an interview on AMC Channels. "Everybody you meet is fighting a battle you have no idea about. Everyone who has encountered me knows that I have nothing but love for them," he said.
Alexx Ekubo emphasized his belief in responding to pain with grace rather than bitterness. "You can literally hurt me, and I will still look at you and smile. Not to smile in a fake way but from a point where Jesus looked down and said 'Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they're doing'," he stated.
The actor explained that life is too short to be consumed by conflict and resentment, especially when everyone is dealing with private challenges. "When I look at you, you will see the light, maybe not now, but later. You will understand that this is really not necessary. What are we fighting for? The world is against poverty but not against friendship," he noted.
Alexx Ekubo continued, "There's too much back and forth and people just wake up and die the next day. Everybody is going through stuff. We may look all pretty and glammed up, but we have what we're dealing with."
He concluded with a simple but powerful message, urging people to show kindness to one another. "Be kind to everyone. I try to spread and share love everywhere I go and with everyone I encounter," he added.
