Media personality Daddy Freeze has revealed why he walked out of the service of songs organised in honour of late actor Alex Ekubo.
Speaking about the event in a viral video circulating online, he said he attended the event expecting a solemn gathering focused on mourning the actor and supporting his grieving family.
According to him, he was surprised by some aspects of the programme, particularly the continuation of serious worship activities despite the actor’s passing.
“Nathaniel Bassey said they were supposed to go and pray for Alex on Tuesday, but he died on Monday. They still went on Tuesday and still sang and prayed. I’m like, really? What happened to the miracles and healings you share on your platforms?” he questioned.
The media personality also took a swipe at renowned gospel singer and convener of the Hallelujah Challenge, questioning some of the miracles and testimonies often posted on his platform.
Daddy Freeze further stated that he would have preferred hearing more from Alex Ekubo’s family members, including his widow, siblings, and relatives, rather than lengthy sermons and speeches.
He explained that while he initially remained at the event despite the preaching sessions, he eventually decided to leave when the atmosphere changed.
“Mercy Chinwo climbed the pulpit and turned the place into a concert. At that point, I got up and left,” he said.
His remarks have since sparked mixed reactions online, with some agreeing that funeral events should be more reflective and centred on the deceased, while others argued that worship and praise are appropriate ways to honour the dead.
The comments continue to generate debate on social media as Nigerians share differing opinions on how memorial services and services of songs should be conducted.
