Nollywood actress Damilola Adegbite has shared a deeply moving reflection after attending the Service of Songs for her late colleague, Alexx Ikenna Ekubo, who passed away on May 11, 2026, at the age of 40 after a courageous battle with advanced metastatic kidney cancer.
The emotional Service of Songs was held on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, at the Monarch Event Centre in Lekki, Lagos. Dressed in white, family, friends, and Nollywood colleagues gathered for gospel music, heartfelt eulogies, and tributes to celebrate the life of the talented actor known for his charm and versatility on screen.
In a candid video posted after the event, Adegbite opened up about how the loss has reshaped her outlook on life. “It put everything into perspective,” she said. “When we experience such a loss that shakes us deeply, it reminds us of how fragile life is. We are reminded of the vanity of so many things that we spend our lives chasing.”

HOW MANY LIVES HAVE I ADDED TO?” She urged intentional living and creating positive impact through kindness, generosity, and relationships, leaving fans with two questions to reminisce on: “How many lives have I left a positive mark on? and when all is said and done, what will remain because I was here?”
