Months after the tragic boat crash that claimed the lives of Junior Pope and five other movie crew members, raised serious concerns about safety standards in Nollywood, a new video has surfaced online showing a group of movie stars apparently throwing caution to the wind and embarking on a similar perilous journey.
The clip captures the tense moments as Ebele Okaro, Stephen Odimgbe, and several other crew members sit anxiously in a boat teetering at the edge of a river, their eyes fixed on Luchy Donalds, who hesitates to step aboard, visibly shaken and fearful of the unpredictable waters ahead.
Once Luchy finally musters the courage to join them, her anxiety didn’t dissipate. Instead, it intensifies, as she clings to the boat, her voice trembling with skepticism about the vessel’s stability, packed as it is with people.
The tension thickens as Ebele Okaro, in her characteristic blend of humor and sharp wit, tries to lighten the mood while also voicing her own fears. She teasingly calls out the movie’s producer, brazenly revealing to the world the identity of the filmmaker who has recklessly put them all at risk by opting for a river route.
Her words ripple through the group, a mix of jest and genuine concern, underscoring the dangerous gamble they are all taking for the sake of their careers and livelihoods.
As the boat finally pushes off from the shore, the water beneath it churning with a menacing energy, Luchy’s nerves get the better of her, and she lets out a shrill scream that cuts through the air, a raw expression of her terror.
Others attempt to calm her down, offering reassurances that everything will be fine, that the boat is safe, and that they will make it through without danger.
