This is so sad.

Some of these Nollywood actors will be forming James Bond just to push the narratives that they are great actors. At the end, they dish out mediocre movies.

Why take such risk to cross the River Niger if the end product won't be worth it?

Please I'm in shock, someone should tell me it's a fake rumor..

SO SAD TO SAY 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

WIZGUY69:
Wtf
And I de inside ferry now

Who go die inside water go die. Who go die for qoae accident yo die. Even air sef is not spared. Just live a happy life. When death comes we follow.

DeGods007:


That water is the occultic coven in Asaba

There is usually quite and scary with a cemetery very close.

That place is avoided by people I wonder why they have to follow that route

Look at what somebody is saying at this age! Smh!

EreluRoz:
Colleagues already typing RIP. I watched that boat video this morning. So so sad 😭😭😭😭😭

May it be PR ooo

I am not a fan of Nollywood actors, let alone the Asaba division. But this guy is always so positive and spreads light on any couple scandal. You should see his comments under such posts on Instablog. Then the way he dots on his wife and kids. I didn't know when I started liking him. I can't believe I am this pained by the news. He would be missed by his family!!

RIP Adaobi

I just watched the video he made on the boat.

He was on the phone but telling the driver of the boat, "Bros, abeg! Abeg, I get 3 children! Don't speed, bros abeg!".

Did he end up falling in the water?!

The driver of the boat should be arrested and jailed!!!

Momcherry:

Is he not human? Are we all not mortal? We only pray not to die young.

He's one of my favorite Nollywood actors.

Journey well, Junior Pope.

Boat journeys without lift jacket is a big No. I had a scary incident at takwa bay years ago, some of us didn't have life jackets in the crowded boat. God abeg o

Ibime:
For those bemoaning lack of life jacket, there is also a good possibility that the impact of the accident killed him. Drowning is not the only scenario. A speedboat overturning will do so at great speed, slamming it's occupants into the water and at each other, then hitting them on the way down

Aside from that aren’t these movie stars entitled to some kind of safe passage to and from the location where they are filming.

What are they paying their dues to AGN for if they’re just going to be transported like normal citizens..

Ceenachi:
This is so sad🥲🥲🥲.. All this hardwork and efforts amount to zero💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

Some one need to go to ja!l for such negligence
The producer and director

Take it easy. People are mourning now. Investigation can be done later. RIP Junior Pope.

This is normal passage. I saw the boat he went with, na normal flying boat, even Govt officials will use that in absence of helicopter. He just had a bad driver.

Flying boat lifts off the water every 2 seconds when the front of the boat catches a ripple. When you reduce speed it won't lift, but regardless even at normal speed it will lift. Thats why it's called flying boat. Excess speed with a wave coming in from a side angle would easily overturn the boat and I believe that's what happened.

You are very correct, rugged and very homely.

I so much like him, I'm still finding it hard to believe. This one weak me 😭😭😭😭.

Never been so down in recent times 😭😭😭

I still don't believe I think it all PR for the movie cause the way he lamented on his insta and died few hrs later is shocking

Mind mind tells me that it's P.R.

Anyway,

R.I.P Junior Pope

And he said "see the risk we take to entertain you guys..in the river without a life jacket. Who does that?"



Really, who does that? Who goes to the river without life jackets when you can't swim?


I'm pained as well..😞

Rest in Peace JBoy, may your Soul find Solace in the Blossom of the Lord.

💔💔

It pains just like the demise of JT Tom West, Muna Obiekwe etc,who died also at young ages.RIP Jnr Pope.

enemyofprogress:
which control? Make people no die again? Even you go die when your time reach. You better be prepared and stop shaking yansh upandan

Some hard truth

nero2face:
Nollywood better go find out what's happening in their industry, possibly they wronged the gods while filming, this is not funny again

Stop this myopic conspiracy reasoning!! Death happens anywhere and every time in Nigeria!! The death in Nollywood is very minute compared to death in other places in Nigeria. Nollywood death is only popular because they are celebrities!!

WhiteWood:
Rip Bro

Some people and social media sef! See as you just post a dead man's picture like say na fowl. No respect for the dead, no respect for the living. Nawa O.

kerry57:
Something have been wrong with the career path of acting. It's not an ordinary career, every actor in any movie play a duplicate personality. That is why u must be Spiritually sound in God if u must go into acting.

As a young drama actor in the Sunday school back then I can vividly remember the kind of prayers we pray after each presentation in church.

So, I have not been surprised by the happenings in the industry. It's a global thing. It's around like that.

So this only happens in Nigeria? What about actors in other climes!! This is just religious bigotry taken to another level!!
No make me laff abeg

Davehasmadeit:
Not again. How many actors have we lost this year. Very soon, prophet's will come out to claim they prophesied about this.

why don't you just drop your comment and leave in peace? Must you display how daft and fuulish you are? What has this got to do with prophet. Daft Muppet

nero2face:

Everything Una go find who to blame why didn't he wear life jacket life no be Nollywood

badboyTee:

If its PR then nobody should take nollywood people serious again. That was how that lady too went and was using bobrisky for traction only for it to boomerang.

Sermwell:

So this only happens in Nigeria? What about actors in other climes!! This is just religious bigotry taken to another level!!
No make me laff abeg

Like I said it's all over the world. Google the list of actors of any country of your choice this year alone and give urself the result u need

Are you saying it’s normal or abnormal for a VIP?

That stuff he’s lamenting on instagram is meant to be a bone to pick with AGN.

Otherwise why is he paying dues just to be tossed about by the river on the way back from filming. Common life jacket they can’t provide to their own union member.

I remember the movie across the Niger and that woman that acted Nwanyi Asaba

EreluRoz:
So 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I actually watched his video this morning lamenting on the risk they take in doing movies

I just watched the video ... only if he knew that trip would be his last... the way he was cautioning the boat driver could be termed some form of uneasiness or premonition in his spirit albeit looks weak, but alas! the worst happened. No one knows whether it was when they were going or returning.
