Nigerian billionaire entrepreneur Emeka Okonkwo, also known as E-Money, has pledged to assume the responsibilities for the three children of the late actor Junior Pope, who tragically passed away in a recent boating accident.
In a video that surfaced following the actor’s death, he was heard expressing concern about his children’s future.
E-Money, reacting to his friend’s passing, vowed to honor the actor’s final wish by ensuring that the children are cared for as part of his own family.
He made this announcement on his Instagram account, acknowledging the profound loss felt not only by those close to Junior Pope but also by people across Africa and beyond.
E-money wrote;
“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 honoring 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”.
