Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has spoken out on the constant attacks from her colleague, Lizzy Anjorin, on her family, especially her grandson.
On her Instagram page, Iyabo admitted that she struggles to hold her peace, but she has to ignore the distractions, as she noted that those whom God has blessed, no one can curse.
Iyabo assured the public that her legal team isn’t sleeping and is taking notes of everything. She stated that a wise person must always listen to the counsel of the learned team and that everything has its timing.
The mother of two said that over the past few months, she has been focusing on family while her legal team prepare her for the battles ahead. She said welcoming her grandson, supporting her daughter through her motherhood journey, and standing in the gap, both physically and spiritually, requires her undivided attention.
She added that once she lands in Lagos, it will be time to tackle challenges.
“Honestly, I haven’t laughed this hard in a while. These videos cracked me up real good
On a more serious note, I’ve seen all your messages, DMs, voice notes, and questions about my silent approach to the defamatory statements, insults, death wishes, and curses Liz Anjorin has been directing at my family, especially those targeting my grandson. Honestly, most of the time, I struggle to hold my peace… but I have to ignore the distractions. Who God has blessed, no one can curse.
For clarity, I want to assure you all that my legal team isn’t sleeping. They’re taking notes of everything. A wise one must always listen to the counsel of the learned team. Everything has its timing.
My people, over the past few months, it has been strictly about focusing on family while my legal team takes note and prepares me for the battles ahead. Welcoming my grandson, supporting my daughter through her motherhood journey, and standing in the gap, both physically and spiritually, required my undivided attention.
Note that once I land in Lagos, God willing, yes, it will be time to tackle challenges. Silence can be powerful, and while it’s not always easy for me, I know it’s sometimes necessary. I love you all and appreciate your genuine concerns. Keep being your wonderful selves, and I’ll keep you all updated when the time is right. God bless”.
On Lizzy’s wedding anniversary in July, she claimed that since she married in 2020, Iyabo had made life unbearable. She claimed that Iyabo hired someone to record her husband’s private moments, forged a death certificate using it for donations and Facebook monetisation, and jumped from one blog to another, trying to ruin her marriage and business.
In July, a Lagos court had dismissed the N1billion defamatory lawsuit Iyabo filed against Lizzy. Lizzy reacted to the news by slamming Iyabo.
Following the court verdict, Iyabo, in an Instagram live, alerted the public to hold Lizzy responsible should anything happen to her or her kids. She noted that she isn’t friends with Lizzy and doesn’t owe her any loyalty.
Early this year, Iyabo had called out Lizzy over her constant harassment and bullying. She noted how the controversial actress continues to target her loved ones, and warned her for the last time.
Recall that for months, Iyabo and Lizzy stirred the internet by washing their dirty linen publicly. Iyabo had shared a video where she was mimicking and mocking Lizzy humorously. Lizzy, who was offended went on to reveal some intimate details about Iyabo, accusing her of promiscuity.
In March, last year, Iyabo filed a defamatory lawsuit against Lizzy; unfortunately, Lizzy failed to attend court during their first hearing. The court had later served her letters, which were pasted on her house gate.
The judge presiding over their case had played a mediator between the two as he reconciled the actresses. Confirming it to the press, Iyabo stated that the judge gave both of them motherly advice to stop fighting and cursing each other on social media and embrace peace.
