Sleep Well, Alex: A Heartfelt Tribute to a Nollywood Star
Forty years wasn’t long enough, but in that time you filled our screens with joy. Your smile lit up Weekend Getaway and your charm stole scenes in The Bling Lagosians. You carried Nollywood from Port Harcourt to the world stage. A first runner-up turned first in our hearts, you earned praise at home and recognition as one of Africa’s most influential under 40. You fought stage 4 liver cancer with quiet courage. After a transplant and a brief return, you chose to rest on May 11, 2026, in Lagos. Sleep well, Alex. Your films and your spirit live on.
