Court restrains Lizzy Anjorin from posting Priscilla Ojo’s son’s photos

A Lagos State High Court has restrained Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin from publishing, posting, circulating or broadcasting photographs of the one-year-old son of actress Priscilla Ojo and her Tanzanian singer husband, Juma Jux.

The interim order was granted ex parte on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, by Justice Yetunde Adesanya of the Lagos State High Court, sitting at the Lagos Judicial Division, in Suit No. LD/ADR/6646/2026.

The suit was filed by Priscilla Ojo, identified in the court document as Mrs Priscilla Ajoke Ojo Mkambala, her husband, Juma Mussa Mkambala, and their son, Master Rakeem Mkambala, against Anjorin.

Priscilla made the development public on Friday after sharing a certified true copy of the court order on her Instagram page.

According to the order, Anjorin, whether acting personally or through her agents, representatives, employees, privies or anyone acting under her authority, has been restrained from publishing, posting, circulating, uploading or broadcasting photographs of the child on her social-media platforms.

The platforms specifically mentioned in the order are Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and TikTok.

The court stated that the restriction would remain in force pending the hearing and determination of the Motion on Notice filed in the suit.

The order specifically directs the respondent and persons acting under her authority to refrain from publishing or distributing the child’s pictures through the social-media accounts identified in the court document.

Among the accounts listed are @lizzyanjorin_originallawal, @lizzyanjorin_original, @lizzyanjorin_legal_mrslawal and @yeyemesho_luxuryfabric1.

A Facebook page identified as Lizzyanjorin2 was also listed.

The court’s directive does not stop at photographs of Priscilla Ojo’s son. In a separate portion of the order, Anjorin was also restrained from publishing, posting or broadcasting what the court described as “editorials” concerning the applicants through the specified social-media platforms.

The order directs Anjorin and anyone acting under her authority to “cease and desist” from broadcasting, publishing and posting editorials concerning the applicants through the listed accounts.

The order was made ex parte, which means the application was considered by the court at that stage without the respondent being present or heard.

It is therefore important to note that the latest directive is an interim court order, rather than a final judgment determining the substantive dispute between the parties.

The restrictions will remain subject to further proceedings, particularly the hearing and determination of the Motion on Notice.

The court also directed that the case file be returned to the Registry of the High Court of Lagos State for reassignment to the appropriate division.

The order was signed and sealed by the Legal Registrar, Omokhudu-Omahoin Onivenu, and issued under the hand of the court on September 2, 2026.

The latest development is the newest chapter in a long-running public dispute involving Lizzy Anjorin and members of Priscilla Ojo’s family, particularly Priscilla’s mother, actress Iyabo Ojo.

The disagreement between Anjorin and Iyabo Ojo has played out publicly on social media for several years and has previously resulted in legal action.

Iyabo Ojo had filed a ₦1bn defamation suit against Anjorin, but the case was dismissed by a Lagos State High Court in July 2025 over procedural defects in the originating processes. The court also awarded ₦500,000 in costs against Iyabo Ojo’s lawyer.

The earlier defamation case is separate from the latest suit filed by Priscilla Ojo, Juma Jux and their son.

In recent public exchanges, Anjorin has also made claims questioning the parentage of Priscilla Ojo’s son. The claims have not been independently verified and are not established by the latest court order.

Rakeem, whose full name is Rakeem Ayomide Mkambala, was born in Canada in August 2025.

His parents largely kept his face away from public view during his first year. However, Priscilla and Juma publicly unveiled his face in August 2026 as they celebrated his first birthday.

The family’s decision to reveal the child’s face attracted considerable attention online, with photographs and birthday messages shared across social-media platforms.

The latest court action comes against that backdrop, with the legal dispute now focusing specifically on the publication and circulation of the child’s photographs and other specified content concerning the applicants.

The court order does not determine the truth or otherwise of any allegations previously made by either side. Instead, it sets temporary restrictions pending further proceedings in the case.

As of the latest available reports, Lizzy Anjorin had not publicly responded to the new court order.

The case is expected to proceed as the court considers the applicants’ substantive application and any response that may be filed by Anjorin.

For now, the actress is restrained from publishing, posting, circulating, uploading or broadcasting Rakeem Mkambala’s photographs through the social-media platforms and accounts specifically identified in the interim order.

The development also highlights the growing role of Nigerian courts in disputes involving social-media publications, privacy and family-related content, particularly where parties seek urgent restrictions on the dissemination of personal images or information online.

Mama G Advises Parents: Don’t Shield Children from Life’s Struggles

Veteran Nollywood actress Mama G recalls selling buns and chicken to survive before stardom, warns parents against over-pampering children.

Veteran Nollywood actress Patience Ozokwor, popularly known as Mama G, has urged parents to resist the temptation to make life completely comfortable for their children, arguing that some struggle can prepare them for adulthood. Ozokwor said children who grow up without understanding the effort required to provide basic comforts may struggle to appreciate or sustain what their parents worked hard to build. “When you say, ‘I don’t want my children to suffer what I suffered when I was growing up,’ okay, that’s the best way to destroy your children,” she said. “I’m not saying allow them to suffer. What I’m saying is allow them to struggle. Go through the process.” The actress spoke in an interview with Femi Bassey TV on YouTube, shared on Wednesday, September 1, 2026. Reflecting on the difficult experiences that shaped her own journey to success, Ozokwor said the lesson was not simply about enduring hardship but learning responsibility through the process of working for what one wants.

She recalled that before becoming established in Nollywood, she sold food at movie locations and audition venues to raise money for transportation. “There was a time I was frying buns. When I first came into the industry, I would prepare chicken and dress it well. I would prepare buns for anyone you want to buy them.” According to her, the small-scale food business became one of the ways she supported herself as she pursued opportunities in the movie industry. She said she would take the food to audition places, where people would buy from her, and she would save the proceeds to cover her transportation and other expenses. The actress said her willingness to work and fend for herself was part of the resilience she developed from a young age. “I really struggled to get to where I am today. It wasn’t flowery; it wasn’t an easy thing. My life is full of spirituality, deep prayer. When others are sleeping, I am praying,” she said.

Ozokwor also spoke about the sacrifices she made during her marriage, explaining that she never pressured her husband to provide the kind of lifestyle she saw other women enjoying. “Some women, when they get married, they tell their husbands, ‘This one bought a car for his wife, this one bought a house for his wife. What are you not doing?'” she said. According to the actress, she understood her husband and chose to work with what they had rather than compare him with other men. “I didn’t wait for my husband. I knew the kind of person he was. I studied my husband. I buttoned up and tightened my belt, and I struggled.” The situation became even more challenging when her husband battled serious health problems for several years. “Incidentally, he was sick for so many years. It was a horrible sickness — diabetes and hypertension together — and it was a struggle.” At a time, her children also grew up and began helping her run the household, which she believes helped shape them into the responsible adults they are today.

Using her personal experience, Ozokwor urged parents to resist the temptation to make life completely comfortable for their children, arguing that some struggle can prepare them for adulthood. She said children who grow up without understanding the effort required to provide basic comforts may struggle to appreciate or sustain what their parents worked hard to build. “When you say, ‘I don’t want my children to suffer what I suffered when I was growing up,’ okay, that’s the best way to destroy your children,” she said. “I’m not saying allow them to suffer. What I’m saying is allow them to struggle. Go through the process.” The actress said she deliberately ensured that her children also understood that comfort comes with responsibility and that family wealth should not become an excuse for laziness. She recalled that three of her sons helped with construction work while they were university students, stressing that she wanted them to understand the effort involved in creating the life they enjoyed. “I don’t say that your children will go through all the pains you went through, but let them go through little pains. Then they will know that it is not easy to make,” she said.

Ozokwor further warned parents against giving their children everything without teaching them how to preserve, multiply and work for what they receive. “But when you pamper them, they don’t come out to be anything,” she said. “Don’t get this on a platter of gold. It’s not easy. Your father built three houses, four houses and you think you can balance on eating it.” She also spoke about family wealth, saying children should not simply expect to inherit everything their parents worked for. “Keep the things that you have and let them know that you go get yours, this is mine,” she added. The actress revealed that she applied the same approach to her own son, telling him to work for his own home instead of assuming that her house belonged to him. “I told my son, my house isn’t yours, go and work for your own,” she said. Ozokwor said the lessons her children learned from watching her struggle have helped them become self-reliant, adding that they are now comfortable because they understand the sacrifices that went into building the family’s success. “My children know the pains of making life better and that’s why they are all comfortable now, struggling on their own,” she said.
