Reacting to a video from Alexx Ekubo's burial, she said:

"But honestly, this is why I don’t like the way burial is done in Abia State. You have to take the body to every Ezi that the person is related to and open the ambulance. Then you walk with the pictures until they get to the person’s Ezi.

"The entire process is painful to watch. Even if you’ve come to terms with the fact that the person is gone, the process will break you all over again."

In the comments, she stated that it was a traditional activity.

"I disagree, this is not the way it's done.. From your name I believe you're from ohafia, they only take the body to deceased fathers ezi(compound )before lying in state at his residence, if the deceased don't have a house then the lying in state will be at his father's house."
