Nigerian relationship expert Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, faced criticism after sharing a video mourning the late actor Junior Pope.
In the video, she expressed sorrow over his death and urged the public to learn from the tragedy, emphasizing the importance of self-care and setting boundaries.
However, her mourning video sparked backlash on social media, with many accusing her of clout chasing and insincerity. Critics questioned the timing and authenticity of her grief, labeling her actions as opportunistic and inappropriate.
Despite the criticism, Blessing CEO’s video highlighted the widespread mourning within the Nollywood community following Junior Pope’s tragic demise. Several actors and colleagues, including Ini Edo, Ruth Kadiri, and Destiny Etiko, expressed their condolences and reflected on the impact of his passing on the industry.
Meanwhile, a poignant video shared by comedian Sabinus, also known as Mr. Funny, provided a glimpse into the emotional toll of Junior Pope’s death on those who knew him personally, underscoring the profound loss felt by his friends and colleagues.
