Nigerian actress and activist Iyabo Ojo has issued a strong and heartfelt response to critics who recently targeted her daughter and son-in-law on social media. In a message that resonated with passion and principle, Ojo condemned the derogatory remarks made about the young couple’s content and lifestyle choices, especially by individuals outside their immediate environment.
“I’m appalled by your audacity!” she began, addressing the critics directly. “Referring to my daughter and her husband in such a manner calling their content stupid, trying to drum fear and intimidation is unacceptable.”
Iyabo Ojo, known for her bold stance on issues of justice and dignity, made it clear that while her family, the Mkambalas, are peace-loving people, her daughter’s protection is non-negotiable. “As a parent, I’ve taught her to be confident and authentic,” she said. “Note, I don’t joke with my daughter.”
A Clarification on the Wedding and Cultural Tradition
In response to rumors surrounding her daughter’s wedding, Ojo firmly dismissed suggestions that government funds were involved. “It’s not your government who gave us money,” she stated plainly. “It’s a cultural tradition in my family the wife’s family covers the cost. I wanted an elaborate wedding for my daughter in Nigeria, and we Nigerians gave her one.”
Her statement underlines not just her commitment to family and tradition, but also a sense of pride in their heritage and the love the family receives from their Nigerian community.
A Message for Those Watching from Afar
In a direct message to overseas critics, Iyabo Ojo pointed out the irony of attempting to control or police people’s lives from abroad. “It’s laughable that you, living in America, think you can dictate to my daughter and her husband, who are living their lives in Tanzania.”
She went further to affirm her daughter’s independence and freedom. “She’ll post what she likes, when she likes, and how she likes. She doesn’t need you to love her. She is very loved and well-loved.”
Ojo’s message wasn’t just a defense, it was a declaration. A declaration that her daughter is not alone, that she is supported by a strong mother, a proud heritage, and a community that refuses to let her be silenced or bullied.
“We protect our own… Never forget that,” she warned.
As always, Iyabo Ojo stands tall, not just as a celebrity, but as a mother, an activist, and a woman of unshakable conviction. In a digital world full of criticism and unsolicited opinions, she reminds us that real leadership begins at home with presence, courage, and love.
