Emeka Okonkwo, widely known as E-money and the CEO of Five Star Music, has vowed to provide support and mentorship to the three children of the late Nollywood actor John Odonwodo, better known as Junior Pope.
The actor tragically lost his life after a boating accident on the Anam River in Anambra state.
Taking to his Instagram account on Wednesday, E-Money expressed his condolences and made a heartfelt pledge to assist and guide Junior Pope’s children in the wake of their father’s untimely passing.

He wrote, “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 three 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.”
Junior Pope and three others tragically lost their lives when the boat they were traveling in capsized in Asaba, shortly after returning from a movie set.
