Actress Queen Wokoma faces backlash for wearing short dress to Junior Pope’s funeral
Nollywood actress, Queen Wokoma, has found herself on the wrong side of the court of public opinion over the sheer and short outfit she wore at Junior Pope’s funeral on May 17, 2024.
The actress took to Instagram to post the pictures taken at the funeral, with the caption, “Here to pay our last respect to our Friend and Colleague. #ripjnrpope 🕊️.”
She sported a short black dress, sheer stockings and black heels, and social media users swiftly called her out for dressing “inappropriately.”
“If y’all really cared so much about this guy like y’all claimed, you wouldn’t have even bothered about looking nice to the funeral. It’s a young guy whose life was cut short in a tragic way and look at how you even posed for the picture. U did well,” a follower said, expressing her disapproval.
Another person reprimanded her saying, “You did well by going but this ur dressing is really a party wear. You actually wore that to a burial???? Na club you dey go? Abi na Wetin you dey celebrate?”

Brown, in a YouTube live with Kai Cenat, the US content creator, addressed questions about his personal life.
When asked if he was in a relationship, the 35-year-old Virginia-born artiste replied, “I am in multiple”.

“Just keep it a hundred. Be honest,” he added.
This is not the first time Brown would be addressing polygamy.
In an interview with Hot 97, the singer opened up about the challenges of maintaining a monogamous relationship due to his celebrity status and constant exposure to women.
“The hardest part is trying to keep a monogamous relationship, but still wanting to be the 25-year-old sex symbol,” he said.
“You go to shows. You might walk by somebody’s room, and you might see about six or seven of them thangs. And you’re like, dang, I just want to slide in there and have a couple drinks real quick and I’ll tell my girl about it later.”
Born Christopher Maurice Brown, the songwriter is often referred to by his contemporaries as the “king of R&B”.

Davido advises black Americans not to relocate to Nigeria, says ‘the economy is in shambles’
Davido, the Afrobeats star, has advised black Americans against relocating to Nigeria, citing the country’s economic challenges.
In an appearance on The Big Homies House podcast, the singer shared his thoughts on the struggles bedeviling Nigeria, stating, “It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles”.
Davido also mentioned Nigeria’s struggles with bad leadership, a high exchange rate, and skyrocketing oil prices, which are negatively impacting the country.
“It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles. I do my part, I am an ambassador. When I go home and I am filming, I am no going to show the bad parts,” he said.
“I am talking about the situation in the country. Now the exchange rate is messed up, a lot of stuffs are not going well.
“The economy is just not good enough. The oil price is too high. Imagine the country that produces oil, paying more for it than a country importing oil.”
Despite the challenges, Davido emphasised the entertainment industry’s positive impact on Africa’s global image.
“Regardless, entertainment is one of the thing that has made Africa look good. We do not have the best leader, that is a fact,” he said.
