It's Thursday; a day for throwbacks, and Alex Ekubo has something for his fans.
The talented Nollywood actor takes out time to reflect on his childhood and the current state of Nigeria.
According to Alex, he misses growing up and the good old peaceful days he had as a child.
Alex shared a throwback photo of himself as a child with the below deep article;
Have
you seen my Childhood? I Miss growing up,i miss the Good Old days &
the things that made it the “Good Old days”. Simple things like the
peace in my country.
I'm from Abia, born
in Port Harcourt, bred in Lagos, schooled in Katsina, lived in Kano,
Attended University in Calabar. I travelled the length & breathe of
Nigeria without the fear of a Bomb Explosion or being Kidnapped.
Now,
i can't even go & drink sweet natural palm wine & eat ugba in
my village for fear of my Safety. I'm typing this with tears in my eyes
wondering why my brothers who haven’t met me yet to know what a fun guy I
am, want me Dead.
Simply because i’m
from a different ethnic group & because i worship the same God but
under a different building. Growing up i watched on CNN the war in other
countries & asked my dad “Daddy why are they killing each other”
even as a boy, It didn’t make sense to me.
Not
knowing thats years later a little white boy in America would watch my
brothers & i display on tv & ask his dad the same question. To
which his dad would dismiss with the wave of a hand or a shrug &
continue pouring milk in his cereal, unperturbed, not knowing that btw
when the question was asked & the last drop of milk hit the cereal
bowl, i have lost a number of unmet family members in yet another
senseless Bomb Explosion.
Surely my
“Father” the Great Nnamdi Azikwe & my Uncle Tafawa Balewa &
Uncle Awolowo are rolling in their graves right now! For this is NOT the
Nigeria they fought for.
Every time we
kill a Nigerian Child, we kill a future Inventor, World Leader &
Movie/Music Star. Let us take a moment & remember the simple things
that made us happy in the “Good old days” & restore our glory as the
Pride & Giant of Africa.
Any
Man/Woman that gives me a gun this coming Election to go & kill my
Brothers if he will not join me in arm or point to me his blood children
in the battle front, then i will take the gun & shoot his left leg
so he can crawl back to his fellow Elders & tell them My Brother
& I have had Enough, We are Wiser!!
When our past is looking brighter than our Future, I look up with tears in my eyes & ask HAVE YOU SEEN MY CHILDHOOD?
