Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has shared a reflective message about how people often wait until someone passes away before showing appreciation for them.

In a post shared on Instagram on Wednesday, the singer wrote:

“People have so many nice things to say about you, sadly you have to d!e first.”

His statement comes as the Nigerian entertainment industry continues to mourn the passing of actor Alex Ekubo.

The actor reportedly passed away on Monday after battling liver cancer, a development that has triggered an outpouring of tributes from colleagues, fans, and well-wishers across social media.
