A Nigerian popular entrepreneur Charles Awuzie has taken to his Facebook page to lend his voice over the death of nollywood actor Pope Junior. According to his write-up below
“A Minute of Silence As Another Victim of Superstition Leaves The World
Nollywood actor, Junior Pope, has been confirmed D£AD…
Pause… Take a deep breath… Give him a minute of silence.
S….I…L…E…N…C…E..
May his entertaining soul rest in Peace….
Now let’s face some sad realities…
Junior Pope would have lived if he received Rescue Breathing and CPR upon recovery from the river.
Even if Junior Pope was no longer breathing but has a pulse, those around who decided to create content out of his condition should have rather started rescue breathing. And even if there was no pulse, an INTENTIONAL person in the team or around should have started Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) immediately, following the guidelines for chest compressions and rescue breaths. This would have helped save the life of the actor but instead they declared him dead prematurely and even when they realised that Junior Pope had a chance to live again, they listened to illiterates who told them that taking a drowned man back to the river will bring him back to life.
In fact, a native doctor was already going viral on social media for raising Junior Pope back to life. If Junior Pope ended up being alive, that Native Doctor would have become the richest native doctor in Nigeria and nobody would have questioned him or criticized his non-medical approach to a case of drowning.
Like I always say – REALITY SPARES NOBODY…
You can continue to promote Social Media Prayers as solutions to cancer and kidney failure until your family member gets diagnosed with cancer or kidney failure then you realise that some testimonies have medical secrets behind them…
You can continue to celebrate Religious and Traditional Superstitions over REALITY AND MEDICAL FACTS, but reality won’t spare you when it visits you.
Junior Pope is dead… That’s painful. But what’s even more painful is that more Nigerians will die of curable conditions just because an illiterate advised them to follow a religious or traditional route to solve a medical condition.
Rest in Peace Junior Pope…. May your death never be in vain..may our people LEARN even if its the hard way. ” He wrote.
He goes further to say that superstition had killed two people in his family and will continue to kill people if people don’t put an end to anything they have to do with superstition.
“My name is Charles Awuzie and I hate superstition because it killed 2 of my family members and it will continue to kill more people if it is not stopped.”
