Actor Nosa Rex kicks against claim he used Junior Pope’s death for skit
Nosa Rex, the Nollywood actor, has dismissed a claim by actress Ruby Orjiakor that he used Junior Pope’s boat mishap for a skit.
Pope passed away on April 10 after a boat accident on the River Niger in Asaba, Delta state. On May 17, he was buried in Nsukka, Igbo-Etiti LGA in Enugu state.
Last Sunday, a video where a director asked Rex to dive into a river without a life jacket at a movie set went viral.
In the footage, the actor appeared to be challenging the movie director who demanded the retrieval of a treasure inside the river.
Rex also argued that the scene was not in the script. He was later captured fighting for his life after he dived into the water.
The skit attracted criticism towards Rex with Orjiakor claiming the actor created the content to mock Pope’s death.
She also alleged that Adanma Luke, producer of the movie Pope was supposed to feature, is not remorseful about his death.
’I came to pray specifically for you super stat (Akpa Swag) Your Legacy will never be forgotten. I also want to let you know that Baba Rex your own man has started using what happened to you as content. Everybody dey find their belle, no one cares, if only you listened to me,” she wrote.
“Again, @adanmaluke instead of feeling guilty for what happened to you and others, she was busy telling the whole world how you were begging her for jobs. I believe you can now understand better how wicked the world is.
“May the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of Christ.”

‘If you had powers, your two wives would still be alive’ — VeryDarkMan replies Lazarus Muoka
VeryDarkMan, the controversial activist, has hit back at Lazarus Muoka, the general overseer of The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries, for calling him out.
The church has been under scrutiny since clips of the members sharing their strange testimonies went viral on social media.
In a recent video, Muoka called out VeryDarkMan, saying he was told the activist “made negative comments about my church”.
The cleric alleged that the social media influencer said “Chosen members will learn the hard way”.
Mouka said he told the person “VeryDarkMan is learning something today in a hard way” — implying that the activist is in a difficult situation due to his remarks about Chosen.
Reacting via his Instagram page, VeryDarkMan questioned Muoka’s powers, citing his “wives’ mysterious deaths”.
The social media influencer also criticised the church testimonies, referring to them as “exaggerated and ridiculous”.
“If you had this power, your two wives would still be alive. In 2010 you lost your first wife, Joy Muoka and then again you lost your second wife, ‘Pastor Ngozi Muoka. You should have worn ‘They are chosen’ clothes on their body so they would not have died,” he said.
“… miracle happens but not in the way your church members explain. They are exaggerating it.”
It was gathered that Mouka’s first wife died in 2010. His second wife was said to have passed away in July last year. She was buried buried last month.

Mama No Network reveals how ex-husband, Baba Lanko ruined her acting career after divorce
Atinuke Kazeem, the Nigerian actress better known as Mama No Network, has opened up about her broken marriage to Baba Lanko, her colleague.
In an interview with actress Biola Bayo, Mama No Network revealed how she and Baba Lanko initially worked together to produce films.
She said their relationship, however, began to crumble after he found success and sought to marry another woman.
She claimed that after the dissolution of their marriage, Lanko blocked her from appearing in the same films as him. She added that but now, he hires her for roles.
“My ex-husband, Lanko, and I worked hard to produce many films. But when money and fame came, he told me he wanted to marry a new wife,” she said.
“After we parted ways, he told producers not to feature me in the same projects as him. Today, however, he now uses his money to call me for movie roles, and I give glory to God.”
The actress also recounted the struggles she faced with infertility during their marriage, including undergoing extreme measures like drinking kerosene, which made her bloated.
She added that God eventually “answered her prayers” by making her conceive naturally.
“I wasn’t the one who left the marriage; he simply stopped coming home. During our time together, I faced immense difficulties while trying to have a child. I went through hell,” she added.
“At one point, I was given kerosene to drink. All those desperate measures affected me, leading to my bloated stomach. When I finally gave up hope, God answered my prayers, and the pregnancy came naturally.”
In May 2023, Mama No Network remarried. She tied the knot to a younger partner.
