Nollywood actress, Mary Remmy Njoku has thrown a question at Nigerians.
The mother of three, via her Instagram page, questioned why Nigerians seize every chance to criticize grieving widows. From Mohbad’s wife, to now Junior Pope’s wife.
She noted how even when a husband died in a plane crash along with other victims, some will still find a way to blame it on the wife, believing that she orchestrated it spiritually. She sarcastically quoted their popular saying, “She frustrated him and he boarded the flight to find peace in the air”.
“Why do Nigerians seize every chance to criticize a grieving widow?
Even in cases where a husband dies in a plane crash along with 100 other victims, some will suggest that the wife orchestrated it spiritually.
She frustrated him and he boarded the flight to find peace in the air”.
This is coming hours after a Twitter user, identified as Papi Jnr had made a strong allegation against Junior Pope’s wife, Jennifer Awele, accusing her of sleeping with rich men.
In a since-deleted tweet, he claimed that the event planner had frustrated the life of the actor as their marriage had been on a rock before the news of his death.
His tweet coincides with his colleague and friend, Dave Ogbeni’s revelation that all wasn’t well with the actor.
Dave had shared his last encounter with Junior Pope, allegedly that the actor had cried out to him that he was dying slowly and wanted to share his story with bloggers, but he convinced him not to.
Many found the news unbelievable as they noted how family-oriented Junior Pope and his wife were. In July 2023, they celebrated their 9th wedding anniversary with a loved-up photo and sweet words.
Junior Pope admitted that their journey hasn’t been easy, but they trudge on trusting God to guide their every step.
In January 2023 the actor made an interesting revelation on how he met his wife, Jennifer Awele. He disclosed that he met his wife on Facebook.
Speaking on how he helps curb his wife’s ego, the actor noted how some women want to take the position of the head of the home, and to prevent his wife from following in such footsteps, he massages her ego and makes her understand that her position is to be the neck of the family and carry her along with his life’s decisions.
