Nollywood actor Jide Awobona has stepped forward to defend his colleague Adanma Luke amid accusations regarding the tragic death of Junior Pope.
Following the news of his death, many have been dragging Luke, holding her responsible for the death of Junior Pope.
The actress was the producer of the movie, that claimed Pope’s as well as others’ lives.
Making a case for her, Jide 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”.
