So I got on the boat, they started to paddle, and the canoe just tumbled into the river.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>She recounted being rescued by a colleague who pulled her from the water just in time.<\/p>\n<p>Ruth Kadiri, boasting more than six million Instagram followers, is now fervently advocating for change.<\/p>\n<p>However, she acknowledges the temptation for actors eager to advance their careers, even if it means risking their safety in potentially hazardous situations.<\/p>\n<p>Ruth Kadiri continued;<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;We all do crazy things for the love of this job. We do things we normally would not do.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cAs you grow, you learn to put your needs first. Not because you don\u2019t like the production, but because if something goes wrong, that\u2019s the end of it<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kadiri points out that safety concerns pervade the entire industry. While larger, well-funded productions can implement safety measures, many smaller operations struggle to afford the additional costs.<\/p>\n<p>To address this disparity, she proposes the establishment of a safety regulatory body with personnel present on film sets, aiming to enhance safety standards across the board.<\/p>\n<p>Her prot\u00e9g\u00e9 and fellow actor, Chidi Dike, regards Junior Pope&#8217;s death as a wake-up call for everyone involved in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>While acknowledging that safety concerns have not always been prioritized, he acknowledges some progress.<\/p>\n<p>Dike observes that directors and producers are now making efforts to prevent filming from extending late into the night, a practice that previously resulted in perilous nighttime journeys home for cast and crew.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH THEM SPEAK BELOW\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 576px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-175001-1\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/06\/171a24d7b35e8c306c68eac90b013aa2.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/06\/171a24d7b35e8c306c68eac90b013aa2.mp4\">https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/06\/171a24d7b35e8c306c68eac90b013aa2.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the aftermath of the tragic boat accident that took the lives of Junior Pope and four others, Ruth Kadiri has come forward with a spine-chilling recount of her own near-fatal encounter in a similar mishap.
