Yomi Casual’s wife has shared a deeply emotional account of the pain her husband endured while tailoring the final suit for his late friend, Alex Ekubo, describing it as the hardest job he has ever done. The tribute, posted on social media, revealed the intimate bond between the two men and the heartbreak that followed Ekubo’s sudden passing. It highlighted how a routine conversation about clothing turned into a somber farewell, as Yomi prepared the burial outfit for his friend, who had no chance to respond to his final message.
The couple’s usual banter often revolved around fashion and fittings, with Alex frequently teasing Yomi and promising to visit his office to try on new clothes. One such exchange, now bittersweet, was recounted by Yomi’s wife: “Yomi; ore how far, your cloth don ready. Alex; ore I Dey come office come fit my cloth. Plenty insults follows 😂😩.” These lighthearted moments contrast sharply with the reality that followed. Just days before Alex’s death, Yomi told him the suit was ready — but there was no reply. Instead, he went directly to the funeral home to deliver the suit, a final act of love and respect.
The emotional weight of the task was immense. Yomi’s wife expressed her anguish, writing, “Alex how do expect yomi should heal from this loss!!! This is the hardest job he has ever done ore. No this isn’t ok at all ….” She praised her husband’s unwavering commitment to perfection, noting that he kept saying, “babe Alex go vex for me if that suit no come out well 🥺.” Despite his grief, Yomi ensured the suit reflected Alex’s signature elegance, honoring his friend’s style and dignity.
In the end, Yomi found a small measure of comfort seeing Alex looking dapper in the suit he had crafted. “You finally felt that sense of honor to see him looking so dapper in that suit one last time even with so much pain and grieve in your eyes,” his wife wrote. She expressed her pride in his strength and courage, adding, “we love you soooo much ore. This pain can never go away.” The tribute concluded with a heartfelt message: “Rest in power oreeeee 🕊️.”
The post has touched many Nigerians, especially those following the ongoing farewell ceremonies for Alex Ekubo. It underscores the deep connections within Nigeria’s entertainment industry and the profound grief felt by those who knew him personally. As fans continue to mourn, Yomi Casual’s dedication to his friend’s final appearance stands as a lasting testament to their bond — a quiet, powerful act of love in the face of loss.
