Jide Awobona makes case for Adanma Luke over Junior Pope
Nollywood actor, Jide Awobona had made a case of his colleague, Adanma Luke over the death of Junior Pope.
Following the news of his demise, many have been dragging Adanma Luke, holding her responsible for the death of Junior Pope. The actress was the producer of the movie, that claimed Junior Pope’s as well as others’ lives.
Making a case for her, Jide Awobona noted how such an unfortunate incident could have befallen anybody. He stated that it is a norm in Nollywood and when one refuses to do certain things, they are being tagged as difficult and called unprofessional. Jide noted how such producers reminded them that they were heavily paid and were given the script beforehand.
“It could have been any of us, stop dragging this producer, it’s a norm here. When you refuse to do certain things they tag you as difficult and call you unprofessional with the usual line “Were you not paid, didn’t you read the script”, when you complain too much, they stop calling”.
