Nollywood actor Adeyemi Okanlawon has spoken emotionally about the struggles of his colleague, Alexx Ekubo, recalling how he watched people criticize and tear him down despite what he described as his kind nature.
Speaking during a recent episode of the CreativiTea Podcast, Okanlawon described Ekubo as “a very good guy, great guy, beautiful heart,” while expressing concern over how society often overlooks genuine goodness.
“I watched people tear this guy down… and I’m looking at our people, and I’m like, how? That’s the environment that we’re trying to build in a place where good is not appreciated,” he said.
The actor also called for more kindness and understanding in the way people treat one another, both online and offline.
“Can we just be kind to one another? People are going through stuff. People have made mistakes, whatever the case may be. The kindest thing that you can do is to not engage,” Okanlawon added.
He further warned that constant criticism and negativity can create a toxic atmosphere where people feel compelled to hide their true selves.
“If we’re celebrating corruption and mediocrity on the one hand, and we’re tearing down good and excellent on the other hand, we’re reducing the number of good and the number of excellence… It’s very worrisome,” he said.

@kokomaureen:”When people were tying him down did you his friends, come up to tell people how great Alex was? You waited till now to tell people how great he was, when all he needed then was people who knew him to speak up for him, medicine after death.”
@ayomidebankole_:”This thing where we say “people are going through stuff, let’s be kind to one another” is quite tired and should be retired, I think. People don’t have to go through things for others to be kind and be decent. Let’s be decent people always.”
