Failure is an integral part of success. Sometimes we have to fail to succeed – Alex Ekubo writes weeks after his ex, Fancy Acholonu, called off their engagement

Actor Alex Ekubo has broken his silence more than two weeks after his fiancée Fancy Acholonu called off their engagement and wedding plans.

The end of their relationship came to many as a shock as the couple got engaged in May this year and were already planning their wedding for December. Fancy on August 26 called off their engagement saying that she made the best decision for herself and also believes it is important everyone lives in their truth.

In a post shared on his Instagram page today, Alex said every successful person must fail at one point or the other in life.

He wrote:

“No successful person has ever been successful without failure.
