Category: Entertainment News
Nollywood actor and model Alex Ekubo, 34, was recently named a chief at the
just ended Iri-ji festival as the Ikuku of Amumara Town, Mbaise.
The Iri-ji Festival is the New Yam Festival of the Ibo people in Nigeria.
It is an annual cultural festival held every year at the end of the rainy
season.
Alex has now asked his fans to start addressing him as a chief because the
title is official and not a nickname. Captioning the video, he wrote;
“Allow me to Re-introduce myself, I Alexx Ekubo of Arochukwu, Abia State – has
just been coronated IKUKU Of Amumara Town, Mbaise. IMO State. At the just
