The Actors Guild of Nigeria has confirmed the death of Actor Junior Pope...
The actor and three of his colleagues fell into the Anam river on their way from a movie shoot and though it was reported that he was revived, news soon filtered in that he did not make it..
Shit. The way drivers use this means of transportation is crazy. 😧
ReplyDeleteSame with the bus drivers. So reckless.
Mehn, this is so sad.
I think we should all be taught how to do CPR in people in cases like this. I read they were fanning him when he was unconscious instead if carrying out CPR on him with immediate alacrity .
DeleteMay his gentle soul RIp and may God be the father of his son's left. Such a sad twist
Ur right.CPR and not taking pictures to post first.so sad RIP.
DeleteYes to cps, and also life jackets must be enforced. You can't travel by boat in bonny without a life jacket. And also in case of boats mishaps kindly hold on to the boat or the seat, it would keep you afloat.
DeleteA huge loss 😞
ReplyDeleteRIP Pope.
Sluttychic.
God pleaseeeee!!!!
ReplyDeleteLife is So Funny,You don't know What to do,Today you live and Tomorrow you Die,What is the Meaning of Life???
Rest in Peace Jnr Pope.May God Console all your Love ones and May the Ground Rest lightly on You.
DeleteIt is Well. God is Good and God is God
Life is deep 😭😭
DeleteRip JP. I couldn't sleep ,I was praying for a miracle but God knows best.rest in power.
ReplyDeleteThis is sad 😔 and heartbreaking 💔💔💔💔💔
ReplyDeleteMay God comfort his wife and children 🫂
Life is a journey
It's well
I've not slept a wink since last night. What's in this life???
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely nothing. Pope left his house to hustle but didn’t return.
DeleteSometimes I’m like, what are we even struggling for?
How do you comfort his family, how?
Sluttychic.
So sad😢
DeleteWas hoping for a miracle. But it is well
DeleteExactly what i asked Sluttychic, the hustle is for what purpose?
DeleteSee the house he built and just move in who will live in it now
God forbid bad thing,no no,this is not true
ReplyDeleteSo sad..RIP
ReplyDeleteI feel so sorry for his young family,as if he knew and was warning the boat guy to take it easy. This life is really nothing. Rip Junior Pope.
ReplyDeleteSo much negligence from beginning to the end, damn it!!!! The videos have kept me angry since yesterday night, from not being provided life jackets to the manhandling after they Were brought out from the river, he could have survived this but no, they kept carrying him to needless places, who blows hand fan on a victim that was drowned in water for goodness sake? Carried to morgue first instead of hospital, then to a herbalist, and all the merry go round, ahh Oluwa saanu!
ReplyDeletePlease Lord, comfort these families grieving in this moment, be their peace in this raging storm of life.
Like damn annoying. First things, FIRST. Lifevests. I saw the video where they said they had to take him to the river for rituals. Like seriously??
DeleteThe negligence was just too much.
DeleteI'm so sad
All that madness contributed to his death ultimately. Evidently,he was brought out of the water unconscious and had he been immediately given CPR or rushed to the hospital...who knows if he may have been saved? But no,they were busy shouting,taking pictures and videos and certifying him dead as if they were doctors. Then to the morgue,then to the herbalist. Mad people everywhere. Maybe they thought it was a movie they were acting.
DeleteIn all these I feel very sad for his wife and 3 young boys and his extended family. May God grant them the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
CPR and First Aid training is not only for those in healthcare, it's for everyone. It is sad that not one person around had one clue what to do. I pray that I never have to use my training, but I am grateful that I have it if I ever need it. Even if they don't know CPR, turning him on his side could have added some seconds or an extra minute to get him to the hospital. Herbalist?
DeleteAnonymous the first person they brought out of the water was already kpai even before they found Jr Pope. Don’t believe what the director that was called from his hotel room said last night that he was still alive. One of the rescue team said he was already kpai before they brought him out of the water. You can’t say the rescue team including the naval officers do not know how to perform CPR, they were only trying to do wonders cos he was a known star.
DeleteThis was nearly my elder brother’s fate in 2020 but thank God.
My brother sells Cryfish so he normally travel to Oron Ishakiri and so. That day he got to Warri and as he was about to enter boat he realized he forgot his life jacket at home(Enugu), according to him a mind told him instead of going to waste money and buy a new one why not travel this once Shebi you have been traveling before and nothing has ever happened. He looked at the sea and jejely went back to buy a new life jacket only for his boat to collide with another coming boat in the middle of the sea and many people died. I saw the news on instagram that night and just said RIP, I didn’t even know my brother was in the boat till when he reached out to us in the morning. He sustained some injuries sha but we thank God for life.
JP death was avoidable if only he wore the vest. We pray God grant him eternal life and give his wife and kids the fortitude to bear the loss.
Fan Emmanuel
Sis, may Nigeria not happen to us. They are focused on making videos and taking picture than actually caring for the drowned person. No one wants to use their car to transport him. When did we get here??? A world where is there is no human empathy.
DeleteIt is sad really 😔 😔 😔
What an avoidable death 😭
DeleteNa dat herbalist talk vex me.haba.it is well.RIP to the souls lost.
DeleteWhy will boats be speeding so badly that a collision results in death.
DeleteOver speeding is a killer.
Omg fan😳😳
DeleteGifty
There are several lessons to be learnt from this sad event. One is that Nigerians need to start demanding they be treated right both home and abroad. Cos wtf is this?you put people on a boat without any kind of protection and the people agreed to get on it?
DeleteThis just breaks my heart @@@@Zara
ReplyDeleteOmo!😟☹️
ReplyDeleteSo JP is gonna😭😭😭😭
ReplyDeleteOh Lord why why why 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Sad 😢. Rest in peace junior Pope. I really liked him😢

ReplyDeleteThis is a heartbreaking 💔 😢 news.

I was so thankful to God last night when I read that he was receiving treatment,only to wake up and read that he didn't make it.💔
ReplyDeleteMay his soul rest in peace and May the Lord comfort his family.
God grant him eternal rest.
ReplyDeleteSo it's true?
But, next time proper clarification should be done before any statement.
Out of joy I get it. But this hurts more than the initial death announcement.
Young widow with 3 children. Ahhhhh.
Young blood, dead and gone .
Ije uwa. We are only sojourners after all
Chai! 😢

ReplyDeleteNigerians take health and safety measures like a joke! Henceforth any project that doesn’t meet the health and safety requirements, terminate it and sue the project managers or whatever!
ReplyDeleteI am so livid and angry!!! As exposed as some of us claim to be, our brain is still ten years back! If you even go to some offices today and check their fire exit or extinguishers you will find none!!!
The said lady Ada or whatever will definitely be arrested if this had happened in the UK! How can you not provide safety measures for your workplace?? Are you that daft?? 😡😡😡😡 Jesus
The first law of nature is self preservation. People should take responsibility for their lives, because no one else will do that for them. An individual's safety and security should be paramount to him, regardless of what anybody thinks or says. Only the living have hopes and aspirations.
DeleteI believe the cast and crew that were to travel across the river ought to have demanded and insisted on some level of safety measures from the Producer ... but all that is in the past now.
May God grant the souls of the young man and the others repose and their loved ones fortitude. I hope those of us still on this side of life will pick one or two lessons from this sad incident. It is well!
Me too, slept hoping for a miracle But negligence had the upper hand here. Not sure if a CPR was even given . With all the noise and Crowd gathered around him . instead of going to hospital they took him to a native Dr.
ReplyDeleteHonestly this guy's life could have been saved ...
God knows best...
May God be with his family 🙏🏻
He was in the water for 2hrs - there is no way he would have survived.
DeleteAnd even if he did, 5mins without O2 is enough to leave him brain damaged.
My heart really goes out to his family at this trying period. I was really hopeful when it was reported that he was alive. All hopes has been dashed reading this news now. It is so sad 😔.
ReplyDeleteMay his soul rest in peace. And may God grant his family the fortitude to bear this great loss.
Very sad.may your soul find rest with the lord.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I should say that his death was avoidable 😞.
ReplyDeleteMy day just got ruined 😭😭
This is just soo sad😭😭
ReplyDeleteMay Almighty God console his family
May God rest his soul
What is the meaning of life,he left his family with the promised of going back with so many achievement written down in his mind to be fulfilled but couldn't return back again 😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔 I couldn't hold back my tears when I saw the "he couldn't make it"
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad 😭
ReplyDeleteChai 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
ReplyDeleteHave been crying since morning like i know him personally
ReplyDeleteThank God i am at work at least to get distracted.
Nigerians learn how to say No to things that will endanger your life it is not wickedness.
I feel for his mum, wife, kids and relatives what a huge lose ehen
I am so shaken i always tell people save your life with your life, yes we will all die but let it not be our fault.
It is well with all the souls lost *Tears*
Rest in peace to him
ReplyDeleteToo devastating 😭😭😭😭
ReplyDeleteThis is heartbroken 💔 😢
ReplyDeleteSuch a sad news.
ReplyDeleteMay God comfort his family.
Sad
ReplyDeleteRest in peace
Very sad and devastating news. I was hoping it will be a good news this morning. May his soul rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to say Rip. I have been praying since yesterday for a miracle, but God knows the best.😭😭😭😭
ReplyDeleteOmg this bubbling guy ?? 😢 that loves his family so much. Who would have thought. God may we never die young Amen.
ReplyDeleteThis is devastating, this is an avoidable death! May Almighty God comfort his family and may his soul and others that lost their lives too rest in peace
ReplyDeleteRest in peace Pope, everyone please take heart, God surely knows the best...may the almighty comfort his family in Jesus name, Amen!😭
ReplyDeleteSo many cellphones around, but there were used to take pix and record videos, rather than save lives!
ReplyDeleteInstead of using their data to post (rubbish) on social media (for engagement)...no one thought to Google "how to save a drowning victim"? It didn't occur to anyone to YouTube CPR instructional videos?!
What is the point of having technological advancement, if it isn't being used for worthwhile things??!!
Smart phones, daft people
DeleteNollywood is full of illiterates.
Delete85% of them did not finish school.
This is why majority of them are a nuisance on SM.
They lack common sense including the one that posted a corpse with trademarks on his IG page.
Once you know the calibre of these people, you will stop having any expectations.
Oga ooo! It's so hard to type Res in Peace but God knows the best. How I wish we can't change the hands of time.... He won't even go to that movie set in the first place. May God have mercy on his soul and grant him eternal rest.
ReplyDeleteThis is sad,so painful
