“Why do Nigerians seize every opportunity to criticize a grieving widow” – Mary Njoku blows hot
Nollywood actress Mary Remmy Njoku recently took to her Instagram page to address a concerning trend among Nigerians: the tendency to criticize grieving widows. With examples ranging from Mohbad’s wife to Junior Pope’s wife, she questioned why such behavior persists.
She highlighted instances where even tragic events like a husband’s death in a plane crash are unfairly attributed to the wife, with some suggesting she had a hand in it spiritually.
Sarcastically quoting the common refrain, “She frustrated him and he boarded the flight to find peace in the air,” she shed light on the harmful narratives widows face during their mourning.
“Why do Nigerians seize every chance to criticize a grieving widow?
This is coming hours after a Twitter user, identified as Papi Jnr had made a strong allegation against Junior Pope’s wife, Jennifer Awele, accusing her of sleeping with rich men.
In a since-deleted tweet, he claimed that the event planner had frustrated the life of the actor as their marriage had been on a rock before the news of his death.
His tweet coincides with his colleague and friend, Dave Ogbeni’s revelation that all wasn’t well with the actor.
