Saturday, July 13, 2024 -Actress, Esther Nwachukwu, has claimed that deceased actor, Junior Odonwodo, aka Junior Pope, confided in her about his marital issues before his death on April 10, 2024.
Recently, she had criticised Pope’s wife for
attending an event. According to her, she should have mourned her husband for
at least six months or one year.
Shortly after his death, some persons,
including social media personality, Very Dark Man, had alleged that Pope had
stated that he was going through some issues he wanted to share with the
public.
Nwachukwu, who is known to have a
controversial persona online, told Saturday Beats, “When Junior Pope
was alive, the wife never gave him peace. She disturbed him a lot. I actually
dated Junior Pope, and I still have his name tattooed on my body. While we were
together (dating), he told me how his wife used to disturb him. But, one thing
about him is that he likes to trend. He would be going through a lot, but would
still come on social media to post (pictures and videos of) his family. From
December 2023, he stopped posting (pictures of) his wife like before. That was
when they started having issues. Sometimes, he wouldn’t sleep in his house, but
would rather stay in hotels.
“I am sure some people who were close to him knew about it.
But, because he had painted himself as a good husband online, he did not know
how to tell people about his issues. That was why he died in silence.”
Doubling down on her criticism of Pope’s
wife, Nwachukwu said, “A grieving wife wouldn’t have come out barely two months
after the death of her husband. She came out and acted like all was well, and
because many Nigerians like eye service, she decided to dress in black, so
people would think she was mourning. A young widow is not supposed to just go
about her business like that. We all know she isn’t hungry, because there is
money. Nigerians are good at sympathising with people, and I know they must have
helped her in so many ways.”
Nwachukwu also criticised Davido for
allegedly disrespecting his child, Imade’s mother, Sophia Momodu, stressing the
importance of resolving family issues before entering a new marriage.
She said, “He has been disrespectful to
Sophia all this while. I believe that before any man gets married, he should
settle all pending issues, and make peace with going into marriage with another
woman.
“He shouldn’t disrespect the mother of his
child for any reason, because he is indirectly disrespecting the child in the
process. Davido is making the daughter see herself as an unwanted child. Behind
closed doors, some people would insult Imade saying that her father did not
want her mother.”
