For over a year now, silence has surrounded Nollywood star Alex Ekubo, one of the industry’s most recognisable faces. The actor, known for his charm, fashion flair, and strong social media presence, has remained completely offline, leaving fans puzzled and concerned.
His last activity on Instagram dates back to December 30, 2024, a post that, at the time, appeared ordinary yet would unknowingly mark the beginning of a long digital absence.
As months turned into a year, the comment section of that final post transformed into a virtual town square of worry, prayers, and unanswered questions.
Fans from Nigeria and across continue to drop messages daily, asking if he is okay, requesting a sign of life, or simply reminding him that he is missed. Despite the growing number of comments, there has been no reply, no update, no explanation.
“Alex, please say something,” one fan wrote. Another added, “We don’t care about movies, just let us know you’re fine.” Some comments are hopeful, others emotional, and a few speculative, reflecting the deep connection many followers feel toward the actor whose presence once felt constant.

Industry colleagues have also remained largely silent, further fueling curiosity. In an age where celebrities document nearly every moment of their lives, Alex Ekubo’s disappearance from the digital space feels unusual, almost deliberate. Yet, without any official statement, the reason behind his absence remains a mystery.
For some fans, the silence has sparked memories. Old interviews, movie clips, and throwback photos are frequently reposted, keeping his legacy alive online even in his absence. Others cling to optimism, believing the actor may be taking time away for personal growth, healing, or a quiet reinvention.
Still, the unanswered comments linger, stacking up beneath that December 30 post like letters to a locked door. Each message carries the same hope that one day, Alex Ekubo will return, scroll through the love, and finally respond.
Until then, his last Instagram post stands frozen in time, a reminder that sometimes, the loudest story in entertainment is not what is said but what is left unsaid.
