Spread the love


Nigerians are still in shock over the death of the publisher of the Guardian Newspapers and successful businessman, Mr Alex Ibru who died on Sunday, November 20, 2011. From the deceased’s immediate family to his friends and Nigerians at large, words of acknowledgment of his legacies and comfort (to the bereaved) have been pouring in.
His Ikoyi residence has become a Mecca of sorts as sympathizers troop in to condole with the Ibrus.
Alex Ibru’s last hour was very pathetic; he was in pains and couldn’t sleep at night. He was frustrated and bored. He slept in the day time. But the good thing is, he had his immediate family, his wife and children around him at the point of his death. And they all managed to thank him for all the things he had done for them.
Aged 66, Alexander Uruemu Ibru died on Sunday November 20, 2011, following complications from cancer of the blood. The great man who’s the youngest of the renowned Ibru brothers- Michael, Felix, late Bernard and Goodie- passed on, on his wife, Maiden Ibru’s 62nd birthday at their Alexander Avenue, Ikoyi, Lagos home that Sunday afternoon.
