Adanma Luke, a Nigerian filmmaker, has indeed sympathized with her distress over the passing of Jnr Pope and other team members while making her film.
On her Instagram page, she posted a moving video in which she discussed her misfortune and its effect on her emotional well-being and prosperity.
Adanma trusts that, even though it was God’s will, she asks why it happened to her. She feels misery that the individuals who died were there to help her.
As another mother, she battles to keep quiet about her sentiments, even though many have encouraged her to.
In her words: “I’m so sad that this had to happen on my set, I’m so sad that they had to come work for me at that particular time. I’m not God, it has been destined to happen, it is meant to happen, but then why me? I never liked the internet drama and all that but this whole thing put me out there. A lot of people have been dragging me, they have been calling ‘Ada don’t talk, Ada let this die, don’t talk’ but I go through a lot, I go through so much, I’m trying to heal but it’s not coming back.
She noticed that on her underlying excursion to the recording area, she asked about existence coats. They told her there were no coats and guaranteed her that there was compelling reason need to stress.
Adanma said that she had taken all the blame since the tragedy happened, even though it wasn’t her duty. “We all loved JP, we all loved others that also lost their lives, my crew members. To shoot that job, I asked for a better location and they took me there. First time going there, I asked ‘why are they not providing live jackets for us’ because we had to go see the place before we went for the main shooting and my BM told me that it’s how they do it there, that a lot of people have been crossing, I wasn’t the first person that shot there, they shoot there all the time. I wasn’t even shooting in the water, it was a means of transportation to the place. It’s not like I did it on purpose, It wasn’t even my duty but I’m taking all the blame, I’m carrying all the cross but please Nigerians I’m sorry, It has happened.”
Adanma Luke proceeded to beg Nigerians to pardon her on the grounds that she was doing combating monetary and psychological well-being issues.
As per her, she is as yet cooking for the groups of the people who lost their lives and she needs to attempt to bring in cash.
In her words: “I didn’t even know what depression was until this whole incident happened, I’m gradually losing my life, I’m regretting a lot of things, I don’t even know how to call people for jobs. Please Nigerians, forgive me, forgive me for employing people for jobs, I don’t even know what to say but I’m sorry, please I’m losing my life. People are even saying I went on vacation, I’m here for business, I travelled to go help myself, I’ve been indoors doing nothing and yet still catering for the families that lost their loved ones. Where do you people expect me to get all these money from? I need to work, I need to make money. My baby wasn’t even up to three months when this thing happened. You all can’t even imagine all what I went through but please Nigerians, forgive me. I know I can’t bring back the dead.”
