Omoni Oboli advises Alexx Ekubo to get engaged again
In other celebrity news, popular Nigerian actress, Omoni Oboli and her actor friend, Alexx Ekubo’s recent conversation sparked a debate on social media.
It all started when Omoni shared a post about having useless friends because none of them was pregnant, engaged, or getting married.
Her actor friend, Alexx Ekubo, was spotted in the comment section of Omoni’s post. He reminded her that he had just been through a ‘messy divorce’ as he referenced his broken and messy engagement with model and ex-girlfriend, Fancy Acholonu.
Omoni, however, did not seem to be having his excuse. She proceeded to advise him to find another woman to get engaged to and eventually get married so they could all attend his wedding.
