Jokerman:
How can you be allowed to act without life jacket??

What the hell?? The family should sue that film production..

That’s the question I’m asking. Why should you as an actor travel to a location without any provisions? The budget for filming is supposed to cover all those things.

ManishSmith:
No life jacket, no floaters, no divers? What a shame

We risk too many things in this part of the world.. then when accidents happen, we rush to blame witches and wizards whereas such accidents could have been prevented from happening.

The living see death as loss. The dead see death as rest.

Video of his last moments.... He saw death with his bare eyes!

I can't remember the last time I felt this kind of shock,chaiiiii


Goodnight,Odo Nwodo!

Adieu Nwanne!!!!!!!!!

RIP good actor,we will miss you

Nolluwood directors need to be careful, you can't ask an ordinary actor to do stunts in a movie. This thing na copy and paste, not everything in Hollywood movies are real. They take extreme precautions during normal scenes let alone stunt scenes.

The Nolluwood director directing that movie killed him

I learned he is not dead but presently battling with his life in the hospital.

Rushed to which hospital? The images out there just show him on the ground...no CPR or anything. Just people videoing and shouting.

Its a pity.

ASAPFERG:
omo nna actors just dey die anyhow like during the civil war why?

Are you a fool?

My advice for anyone who want to travel on water, take tire tube along with you if there is no life jacket inflate it with air, it will suffice

callmevirus:




Safety matters alot.do you mean a Nigerian man took you out? I guess that guy is not here on Nairaland

Whoever is behind that handle might actually be a very fine girl.. too many clowns are on this forum.

What happened to lifejacket?

Chaaaai 😭 this news no sweet ooo... Omg 😳😳😳

immortalcrown:
May his soul rest in peace.

Many questions to prevent a similar incident in future.

Did he use a life jacket?

What was the condition of the boat?

Should people on a contract like movie shooting travel by boat without divers?

Many deaths in Nigeria are easily avoidable but are aided by misplaced priorities.

If Titanic could capsize why do you think a boat should not?. Why did you think this was avoidable?.

Those people inside Titanic didn't expect or think that gigantic carrier could be their coffin let alone this one. The guy's time was up on earth, that's all. When you reach your bus stop you must get off. Something must kill a man. I believe this was not his first time taking boat to location.

Pope why? Pope why?? Please why did you go on that thing without Life-Jacket bro why? This is avoidable accident, Pope why?

And the driver of that boat should be arrest and all the people involved in the boat trip should be arrest that is it.

I have not concluded that the death of Junior Pope was avoidable. My comment does not say otherwise. I will make the conclusion when you answer the questions I raised. The last paragraph points to the fact that average Nigerians have little or zero concern for safety. The paragraph represents what informed my questions.

Life is so short, just leave your life and make a great use of life.. yeah

It's not just by using a life jacket but the condition of said jacket and also using it properly because there's a training involved in case of emergency. HSE should be taken more seriously in Nigeria

Production knows they’ll be filming a scene inside a river, they didn’t make arrangements for lifeguard or even life jacket. This is carelessness.

This one pain me

I hope to God this is the case, and that he comes out alive.

He should've thought of his children, and been more cautious.

His death is bad, but is anyone going to ask about who these other actors are?

OMG! This is really so disheartening! Why didn't they go with lifejacket? This could have been avoided.
RIP. Junior Pope.

Unnecessary and needless risks...!

They just wasted these young lives for nothing.

If it were Hollywood, the movie makers will pay a hefty settlement to the families of the deceased.

The most annoying thing is that he had the premonition of his death in that boat, yet continued without a life jacket. Why didn't he insist that they provide one for him for crying out loud

It's unfortunate that his young wife has been widowed at an early age while his baby becomes fatherless so early in life...chai!


RIP to him

So many persons are saying he is still alive too
Prayers is what he needs then, not RIP.

Your igbos tribesmen will not caution this but when you are replied many of them will foolishly n senselessly start wailing we shouldn't be doing this.
