Pope officially joined Nollywood in 2006 and began acting in 2007, with his first major film, Secret Adventure, directed by Tchidi Chikere.[7] Since then, Pope has appeared in over 100 Nigerian films, including Throne of Tears (2008), Always Mine (2009), Mad Sex, Blood Affair (2021), No Way Through (2023), Gbege (2022)and Honey Money (2023).[8][9][10]

Personal life and death[nwọ́che | nwó étéwn che]

Odonwodo was a Christian and on 26 July 2014, he married Jennifer Awele Okpuno. They had three children.[11] Pope died along with three crew members while on his way to Asaba, Nigeria, to shoot a movie when their boat capsized in the River Niger in Anambra State. After the circulation of videos on the internet showing his video on the boat,[12] and villagers in Anambra trying to revive him and taking him to the hospital, the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) initially declared him alive. However, he was later officially announced dead.[13][14][15][16]

Junior Pope was credited with exceptional acting ability and was also described as "one of the most talented actors in Nigeria" in a tribute.[17]

Not only was Junior Pope described by Isaiah Egedegbe as "one of the most talented actors in Nigeria" and eulogised for his unique acting prowess, but he was also considered as "one of Nigeria's richest and most influential actors", with an estimated net worth of $350,000.[18] However, Junior Pope's colossal contribution of humanitarian action in the Nigerian movie industry has not gone unnoticed, as he was said to have "made a remarkable impact during his lifetime" and also to have "touched so many lives".[18]
