Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) star, businessman, and pundit Leo DaSilva has urged Nigerians to record their wills via video while they are alive.
He made the recommendation while wading into the ongoing dispute among the late actor Alexx Ekubo’s family following his death.
The Nollywood actor died in May 2026 from cancer and was subsequently buried in his hometown in June 2026.
A dispute, however, ensued a few days after his burial when his biological mother’s family called out his stepmother—who had raised him since he was seven years old—over the circumstances surrounding his death and why no one was allowed to see his corpse.
The issue escalated when Alexx’s elder sister allegedly contacted a blogger to write articles against the stepmother, whom the actor had publicly acknowledged as his mother.

Reacting to the development, many netizens attributed the fallout to the distribution of the deceased’s property, while others wondered why the late thespian’s biological mother had abandoned him for so long, only to show up after his death.
Joining the conversation, Leo DaSilva, who in February 2025 disclosed his plan to prepare his children for his death, recommended “video wills” for Nigerians.
The internet personality urged the public to make a video documentary detailing exactly how they want their property to be shared after their passing.
He wrote: “I wish people understood that blood relatives can still mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. They could be your enemies and they could actually not even be in your life.
“This is why I always suggest video wills. Make a video of exactly what you expect after your death so that people don’t confuse your enemies for your family just because of a blood relation.”
