Philanthropist, Emeka Okonkwo, popularly known as E-money has promised to take up the responsibility of caring for the three children of his friend and late Nollywood actor, Junior Pope who died in a boat accident few days ago.
Prior to the accident, Jnr Pope made a video, begging the boat driver to take it easy and reduce his speed as he was a man with responsibilities at home.
Unfortunately, he was not lucky to survive the accident and left behind a wife and three young sons.
E-money promised to take care of Jnr Pope’s last children, to make them his responsibility and treat them like his own sons.
Read the full Statement; “It has been one week since you departed from this world, leaving behind a profound sense of loss that reverberates not only among us but also across Africa and beyond. Your presence, as both a friend and a brother, is deeply missed, JP. The weight of your absence bears heavily upon our hearts, yet we draw comfort from the belief that God will grant us the resilience to carry forward and uphold the legacy you’ve entrusted to us. We tenderly remember your final words on the boat, “NA ONLY ME DEM BORN I GET 3 CHILDREN NA ME GO RAISE THEM,” and we solemnly commit to honoring that vow. Your children now find solace in the embrace of the Okonkwo family, and we, as members of that family, pledge to nurture them as you would have wished. Your absence leaves a palpable void, JP, and your memory will forever be held dear. Rest peacefully, knowing that you are deeply cherished, and may God’s blessings encompass your soul, your family, and all who hold you in their hearts. 🙏”
