Junior Pope’s Wife Pays Tribute One Year After Death
Wife of actor Junior Pope, Jennifer Awele is remembering her husband a year after his untimely death.
She shared a post on Instagram, reflecting on the pain and grief of losing her husband.
Junior Pope and others drowned at Anam River in Anambra State while returning from a movie set produced by Adanma Luke on April 10th.
Luke received backlash for not providing the actors with safety procedures, which led to their deaths.
Jennifer described the past year as a journey of standing in the face of unimaginable loss.
She noted that not a day has gone by without a thought of Junior Pope and his love still surrounds their family.
Jennifer revealed that it’s been tough trying to stay strong for each other as the world around them seems to fall apart.
The grief remains heavy, and the absence has left a void that words can never fill.
However, they look up to heaven for strength and guidance.
She wrote: “It’s been one year of standing in the face of our unimaginable loss, and not a day has gone by without a thought of you.
Your love still surrounds us, your laughter echoes in our hearts, and your presence is felt in the quiet moments when we miss you most.
“You have no idea how tough it’s been, trying to stay strong for each other even as the world around us seems fallen apart. The grief remains heavy, the absence left a void that words can never fill, but through it all, we look up for strength from heaven as a guiding light.
“Oh death, you have taught us to live each day as it comes, one step at a time bearing such extreme pain that can never go away.
“I still don’t have the right words to respond to Jason and Jaden wanting to know if Daddy will fulfill his promise of taking them to a proper football academy and be present at their first official match. They said ;, “Daddy told them he wouldn’t miss it for anything in the world”. Then the littlest one (J papa as fondly called by daddy) Jamon, keeps asking when daddy is bringing the big toy car he promised him
“We appreciate everyone who sympathized with us and stood and still stand by us through our time of grief. Words cannot express our heartfelt gratitude for your love and support towards us.
“To our beloved, you did not only leave us, your family but so many who loved you and loved your works.
It is so difficult and unbelievable to
say these words, but still, continue to rest in the bosom of the Almighty. You will always be in our hearts and our thoughts, and your memories and legacy will live on forever.
“Though you’re no longer by our side, you live on in every memory, every smile and every tear. We shall carry you with us always until we meet again. We cannot question God, right? May Your Soul Rest In Perfect Peace, My Love”.

Davido Slams Sophia Momodu’s Lawyer After Custody Case Is Dropped
Nigerian music star, Davido Adeleke, better known as Davido, has publicly called out the lawyer representing his first baby mama, Sophia Momodu, following their recent court session over joint custody of their daughter, Imade Adeleke.
Daily voice recalls that drama ensued during the court proceedings when Sophia’s lawyer questioned how Davido could guarantee Imade’s safety when he was unable to protect his son, Ifeanyi, who passed away in October 2022.
The lawyer’s comment ticked Davido off, who reportedly lost his cool and slammed the lawyer in the courtroom.
The court proceedings were halted for a while, and when the court reconvened, the judge asked Davido to apologise to the court and the lawyer, but the singer reportedly refused, insisting he can never apologise to the lawyer for using his deceased son against him.
Taking to social media shortly after the hearing, Davido did not hold back, accusing the lawyer of being unprofessional during the proceedings.
The singer also expressed anger that his late son, Ifeanyi, was mentioned during the session, describing the move as insensitive given what he and his wife have been through.
Davido further called the lawyer a wicked human being, insisting that he defeated her during the courtroom exchange.
He wrote, “@belachukwu I disgraced you in the courtroom. I was teaching you your work, you couldn’t even take it and then went on to mention my son… like I said in the courtroom. I pray you never go through what me and my wife have gone through ever… and you were still smilling smirking… You are a wicked human being. You are the worst lawyer ever. I beat you in court! you are not learned.”
