Mabel Makun, former wife of comedian Ayo Makun, has broken her silence after a period of emotional withdrawal, sharing heartfelt reflections on Instagram following the burial of late actor Alex Ekubo. In her post, she acknowledged the advice Ekubo often gave her — to keep quiet and stay silent in certain situations — which she said influenced her decision to remain withdrawn during a difficult time. She expressed that she has much on her mind and many thoughts she wishes to share, but uncertainty about where to begin has kept her from speaking out. Her message concluded with a heartfelt farewell to the late actor, wishing him peace and calling him one of the most caring humans she has ever known.
Mabel’s Instagram story included a poignant message: “Never to put a question mark where God has put a full stop. Rest easy, one of the most caring humans ever. Mama Dee always seeks God’s guidance and take care of yourself, no response needed. Truth be say, I get response but I no just know where to start from, hence the silence and withdrawal.” The post resonated with many followers who have followed her journey through public scrutiny and personal challenges. Her words reflect a deep sense of introspection and emotional healing, as she navigates life after her divorce and the recent loss of a close friend.
The burial of Alex Ekubo, a respected figure in the Nigerian entertainment industry, served as a catalyst for Mabel’s public reflection. His passing has prompted many in the industry to speak about his kindness and influence. Mabel’s tribute highlights the personal impact Ekubo had on her life, even as she continues to process her own emotions. Her decision to speak now suggests a step toward openness and emotional recovery, even as she remains cautious about how and when to share her story.
Meanwhile, in a separate development, the Oyo State Government has stepped up enforcement of its anti-open grazing laws. Authorities impounded six cows found grazing freely in restricted areas of Ibadan, including Old Ife Road, Alakia, and Elebu Idi Ahun in Ido Local Government Area. The Oyo State Rule of Law Enforcement Authority (OYRLEA) confirmed the seizures during routine monitoring exercises. Five of the cows were taken into custody for violating livestock management regulations, while one cow was impounded during a separate operation on Mokola highway, where three cows were spotted roaming dangerously close to traffic. The authority emphasized that these actions are part of broader efforts to ensure public safety, environmental order, and compliance with state laws.
As Mabel Makun continues to find her voice, her message serves as a reminder of the importance of emotional healing and the power of silence in times of grief. Her tribute to Alex Ekubo underscores the lasting impact of personal connections, even in the face of public challenges.
