Nigerian music executive Paulo Okoye is celebrating his woman, Iyabo Ojo, as she turns 48 today.
On his Instagram page, he praised her for her life, strength, beauty, and everything that makes her who she is.
Paulo noted how 2025 was a journey filled with highs and lows. The highs included weddings, children, grandchildren, graduations, movie premieres, red carpets, awards, and love.
The lows brought tough moments, battles, unexpected tests, and people using her name and fame to trend and try to tear her down.
Despite it all, Paulo praises Iyabo for how she smiled through it, faced it with all grace, and served it hot to anyone who wanted some heat.
“Happy Birthday! @iyaboojofespris My Ezenwanyi !!!!
Today, we are celebrating you, our Queen Mother. Your life, your strength, your beauty, and everything that makes you, you.
Hmmmm, 2025 was a journey. No be small o, filled with highs that remind us how sweet life can be — weddings, children, grandchildren, graduations, movie premieres, red carpets, awards, and, of course, love.
But life also has a way of throwing wahala — the tough moments, the battles, the unexpected tests, people using your name and fame to trend and try to tear you down.
But through it, you smiled. Even when it wasn’t easy.
You faced it all with grace and served hot pepper to anyone who wanted some heat!
Your compassion and the support you give to everyone make us all lucky to know you.
You are, without a doubt, the strongest, kindest woman I know.
And today, we don’t just celebrate your birthday — we celebrate you!”.
To celebrate her birthday, last year, Paulo had thrown a surprise bash. The birthday bash, which was a white-themed party, had in attendance many celebrities like Tiwa Savãge, Toyin Abraham, Tonto Dikeh, Nkechi Blessing, Foluke Daramola, Femi Adebayo, Omoni Oboli and husband, E-Money and KCee, Ronke Odusanya, Fausat Balogun, Gbadebo Rhode, and many others.
When Paulo celebrated his 58th birthday, Ojo, sweetly celebrated him with prayerful words.
On Father’s Day, she described him as an amazing father and gave him kudos for being a good father.
In an interview with TVC Your View, Iyabo discussed her relationship with Paulo, revealing that despite being in a relationship, she values her privacy. The mother of two said that their relationship isn’t for marriage, and they are comfortable with their arrangement.
Recall that in 2022, Iyabo had marked her 45th birthday by unveiling her boo, Paulo Okoye. She went Instagram official with him by sharing a video collage of their time.
Speaking out on their relationship in an interview, Paul Okoye cried out over how the mother of two had invaded his space and snatched him from his several side chics. Iyabo Ojo joined in, stating that their relationship is for enjoyment and not for having kids since they both have 2 kids from previous relationships.
