Before his death, Nollywood actor, Junior Odonwodo, popularly known as Junior Pope was in a terrible marital situation as his wife was always giving him trouble.

Esther Nwachukwu, an actress, made the revelation, adding that the late actor confided in her about his marital issues before his death on April 10, 2024.

Recall that Esther recently criticised Pope’s wife for attending a social event, saying 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.

Esther Nwachukwu told Saturday Beats that- “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.”

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.”

Nollywood actress Ruby Ojiakor recently presented the key of her new car to Mother Mary at the grotto of her church.
The action sparked social media reaction with many of her fans hailing her while others described the move as idolatry.
But the sensational movie star explained her reaction in a post saying it was in appreciation of God’s benevolence to her.
In a video she posted on her Instagram page, Ruby, a devout Catholic was seen appreciating the mother of Jesus for the new car as she presented her key to her.

In her caption, she made it known that God is her only source as she noted how she believes, trusts and now has received from the Master of all Masters.

“My Father in Heaven, You blessed me, and the whole world saw it” That’s why I will never be ashamed to showcase you to the whole world and also to see.

“GOD IS MY ONLY SOURCE
Put all your trust in HIM”, and HE will never let you down…
I believed I trusted, and I received from the MASTER” of all masters,

THANK YOU, JESUS CHRIST
THANK YOU, MOTHER MARY

A grateful heart.

JESUS I LOVE YOU”.
