Nollywood actor Yul Edochie sparked controversy after celebrating TC Okafor, a survivor of the Anam River accident, while facing backlash for not publicly mourning Junior Pope, who tragically lost his life in the incident.
In an Instagram post, Yul congratulated TC Okafor on his survival, praying for his continued success in Nollywood and life. However, critics accused Yul of neglecting Junior Pope due to personal grievances, particularly related to Pope’s lack of support for Yul’s marriage to another woman.
Commenters called out Yul for allegedly prioritizing personal vendettas over honouring a fallen colleague, with some suggesting that Yul’s actions reflected poorly on his character and integrity.
The backlash intensified as TC Okafor revealed details about the accident, including an incident where he poured Fanta into the river to appease the water goddess for safety. Netizens questioned why life jackets were not provided for all passengers on the boat, further fueling the controversy surrounding the incident.
