Nollywood actor and director, Yul Edochie, has said that he has forgiven late actor John Odonwodo, popularly known as Junior Pope, for betraying him.
It will be recalled that The Eagle Online had earlier reported that Edochie had accused Junior Pope of offending him.
He said that was why he did not attend his burial in Enugu State.
He promised to release more details of the face-off between them.
In a post on his Facebook page on Wednesday, Edochie, however, said he has forgiven John Pope and put the past behind him.

He wrote: “Speaking about forgiveness, I forgive him completely. It hurts deeply when a friend you love, took like a brother, stood for and shown love over the years turns around to stab you in the back repeatedly without remorse. Sadly that’s the world we live in. Humans are filled with flaws. To err is human, but to forgive is divine. I forgive him & wish his family the very best.
“Dear Nollywood & humanity, I hope this serves as a wake-up call. Life is short & unpredictable. None of us will be here forever. Let us bring back love and unity amongst us. You gain nothing by trying to bring another person down. The sky is big enough for all of us to fly. When you see your fellow man or woman having issues, don’t be that person who will add to the pain.
“In this era of social media & monetized pages, resist the urge to use another person’s pain to create content or to trend. You have no idea the damage you cause each time you do it & in the end, the outcome may not be what you expected. We reap what we sow.
“Let us bring back love & unity and be there for one another. Everybody is passing through one thing or the other, rather than make fun of the person, call that colleague on the phone and ask, how can I help? Let us kill hate with love. Rest well, brother. You made your mark here. May God be with your family, comfort them, and grant them the strength to bear.”
