Nollywood luminary Angela Okorie criticized her colleague, Zubby Michael, for publicizing his contribution to the family of their late fellow actor, Junior Pope.
A widely circulated video captured the moment Zubby Michael presented a donation to Junior Pope’s widow, Jennifer Awele, and their children.
Expressing her disapproval, Okorie blasted Zubby Michael for making the donation “on camera,” asserting that flaunting cash at a young person’s burial was inappropriate.
On her Instagram story, she remarked: “Zubby na young person die, that showcase of money wasn’t necessary. But as a local boy that you are, you don’t have sense. You don’t know where to do show and where to behave well.
“Abi you get money pass all the dignitaries wey come there? Mugu.”
Junior Pope, along with three others, tragically lost their lives on April 10, 2024, after their boat capsized on the Anam River in Anambra State while returning from a film location. He was laid to rest in his hometown, Ukehe, Nsukka Local Government Area, Enugu State, last Friday.
