Iyabo Ojo

Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo on Sunday shared her painful experiences of surviving as a single mother.

While narrating how most Nigerians condemned her, Iyabo took to her Instagram page to thank God for life stating that she would never stop expressing appreciation to God for her life and the challenges she overcame.

Iyabo Ojo added that the single mother status made people describe her as not having morals, not fit to be a model, talkative, and a clout chaser even when she tries to tell her story.

According to her, she was treated like a second-class citizen due to her failed marriage.

She wrote:

Who am I that I am not mindful of your blessings,
I’m never going to stop appreciating you Lord, I’m never going to stop thanking you lord🙏

THINGS I OVER CAME

This world most especially this country Nigeria, i was treated so unjustly bcos of my circumstance and choices i made to better the life of my children.

1) I became a 2nd class citizen immediately my marriage failed, a trillion times the hate, the bullies, the curses, the unapologetic horrible rejections, it was massive from my society, my people, my country, being a single mom was like living in a foreign land with no papers, thanks to the media, writing and creating false narrative about me just worsened everything, the word prostitute became my 👑

2) choosing an acting career was like finding yourself in a crime scene you had no business being there, it became a confirmation that i was irresponsible, a whore & fame was the reason why i left my marriage 🤔

3) Acting in my language (Yoruba) o my world!!!!!! made matters worse, i was tageed local & unworthy to associate with the so-called elite, it was a big deal then, even when i spoke the little english i understood, people couldn’t hide their shock 🤣 even till this day, we’re underated, yeyebrity is our nickname 🤣

but listen young ones …. Local is Original, stay true to your culture bcos that’s your identity 💯

4) i was not expected to have a voice, i was a single mother, i had no morals, unworthy to be called a role model .. 🙈

5) & yes sharing my story on the internet labelled me talkative & cloutino 🤣

But if i had stayed in it & the deed had been done, you all would’ve been quick to shift the blame on the dead ….. forgetting our society created this Fear, the Stigma, the Mockery, the labeling which is not for the faint at heart….
We need to do better as a society…… who never fuck up hands ✋️ in the air

…… Staying true to myself, building a strong wall around my heart and growing in my inner strength and my children has gotten me this far & today I’m a success story

I will continue to tell my story to encourage alot of mothers out there … You can & will win in the end🏆 💪

I’m holier than you, Lizzy Anjorin tackles gospel artiste Tope Alabi

Actress Lizzy Anjorin and gospel singer, Tope Alabi, are currently at loggerheads after the singer refused to perform at a surprise birthday organized for Lizzy.

The actress turned a year older and her fan club collaborated with her husband to surprise her with a performance from gospel artiste, Tope Alabi, whom they said she ‘loves dearly.’

The gospel singer and Soji Alabi, her husband, arrived at Lizzy’s clothing store in Lagos but declined to perform when they discovered the purpose of their visit. As the news filtered on social media, users gave several possible reasons the singer failed to honor Lizzy with a performance.

Anjorin later addressed the incident on Instagram, stating that she couldn’t blame the Alabis for their decision. She criticised her fans for spending money on the failed surprise party instead of supporting her business.

“I don’t celebrate birthdays, only a wicked person would claim I do. I’m not in a position to judge their reaction, but if I had invited them myself, I wouldn’t have paid them anything” she said

In another video she shared, Lizzy further said that the singer cannot portray herself as someone who is holier than her, Lizzy. She went further to ask what impact Tope has made with her many years of singing as a gospel artiste.

‘’I am holier than you, AUnty mi Tope. If we are to ask what is your impact in the society?  I am holier than you. I have impacted lives than you. I have e,powered lives than you. If you say you have empowered people, they are people who fed off you, not people in the society. I have done more good , I have added more value to the society than you. Aunty mi, If I should count them all, it will take more than a year. I have done beautifully well. I am pure. If you judge me, I am thankful that God does not judge me”

A colleague raped me, Actress Lolo 1 alleges

Media personality and actress Omotunde Adebowale-David, also known as Lolo 1, has shared her traumatic experience of being raped by a male colleague in the broadcasting industry on her podcast “Say My Piece”.

According to Lolo 1, she was raped by a colleague, which has left her traumatised and experiencing momentary panic whenever she sees him.

She said naming the attacker now will bring her criticism for not speaking out before but doing so now that the said person is an established figure in the industry.

She said: “I hardly ever say this, and I am not even ready to tell the full story. The stories of sexual assault. When I discussed it with my daughter yesterday, she held my hand and said, ‘Mummy, you’ve gone through so much.’ And I said I had.

“I remember how many of those things I have to relive. I have been raped only once in my life, and I was raped by a colleague. I see him every other day. Do you know how traumatised I am? When I see him, I just get into this momentary panic.

“But if a woman of my calibre named him, he’s an established person in the broadcast industry, won’t people say, ‘How come I didn’t speak about it for all these six years until now that he’s taking a prominent TV position?’

Lolo 1 noted that women often respond to s3xual assault with denial and self-blaming, highlighting the complexities of trauma and recovery.
