Junior Pope had no peace in marriage before his death, actress Esther Nwachukwu reveals
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.”

It is no longer news that Nigeria’s afrobeats superstar, David Adeleke, popularly called Davido is set to formally marry his fiancee Chioma.
This is so because, the multiple award winning entertainer had last week disclosed that he and Chioma would have their wedding in Lagos on June 25.
What is however amazing is the humongous amount Davido has spent to purchase the wedding ring he would be presenting to Chioma on the scheduled date.
According to a post on Instagram Friday by businessman and socialite Pascal Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest, the wedding ring is worth the price of two or three Rolls Royce cars.
In the video, the socialite praised the couple, who were seated in a car, and asked Chioma to show off the ring.
Cubana Chief Priest then stated that the wedding ceremony would be a “strict gathering of real friends and family.”
“We’re rolling on a Rolls-Royce. A Yoruba man steps out and says, I am coming down to Imo to pick an amazing fruit and it’s happening,” Cubana said.
“They fought it. They tried to stop it. They did everything possible to end it but the will of God happened.”
Responding, Davido said, “That is two, three Rolls Royces right there.”
