Stanley Nwoke, a Nigerian filmmaker and human rights advocate known as Ontop, has recently come under heavy criticism after a video of him celebrating his acquisition of a new car went viral. The backlash is particularly intense due to Stanley’s controversial role in reporting the death of Nollywood actor Junior Pope.
Stanley was among the first to announce Junior Pope’s passing, doing so through a Facebook Live session while the actor was still in the hospital battling for his life. Many online users found this premature announcement to be insensitive and inappropriate, accusing Stanley of exploiting a tragic situation for attention.
Despite the controversy, Stanley shared a post where he reflected on his humble beginnings, recalling how he and his mother sold pure water, Akara, and even pushed a wheelbarrow in Abuja to make a living. In the video, he proudly showcased his new car, viewing it as a symbol of his journey from hardship to success.
However, critics argue that his newfound fame and success are partly due to his involvement in the tragic situation surrounding Junior Pope’s death, leading to further debates about the ethics of his actions and the impact on his reputation.
