Renowned business magnate and socialite Emeka Okonkwo, popularly referred to as E-Money, has pledged to raise the children of the late Nollywood actor Junior Pope.
On their way back from a filming site, Junior Pope and three other people perished in their boat when it overturned on the Anam River in Anambra State.
E-Money, who was grieving for the late actor, revealed that Junior Pope’s final remarks concerned his vow to raise his three sons.
He promised to assume parental duties over Junior Pope’s children to grant the late actor’s dream.
He wrote on his Instagram page: “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 honouring 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.”
