Iyabo Ojo Speaks
OpenLife Nigeria reports that popular Nollywood actress and entrepreneur Iyabo Ojo has once again addressed her long-running public dispute with fellow actress Lizzy Anjorin, expressing concern rather than anger over the situation.
In her reaction, Iyabo Ojo suggested that the Lizzy Anjorin she once knew has changed significantly over time.
“She is not normal. She is not the same Liz that used to dance and sell her products. I don’t know where her trouble started from.”
Iyabo emphasized that she has chosen a spiritual response over confrontation, stating that prayer is her only option at this stage.
“The only thing I can do at this stage of her madness is to pray for her.”
She further claimed that Lizzy frequently mentions her name during online outbursts, but insists it no longer affects her personal growth or family progress.
“She mentions my name at every little thing. As she is cursing me, I am progressing and my children are making it so why should I be angry?”
Appealing directly to her supporters, Iyabo asked them to disengage from the controversy.
“My fans should please ignore her. She really needs help.”
The actress also made remarks about Lizzy Anjorin’s marriage, suggesting that her husband has failed to intervene constructively.
“It is unfortunate that she is married to a man that is not learned. He should have taken her to a mental home or maybe he just doesn’t care.”
Addressing accusations made against her, Iyabo denied ever wishing harm on Lizzy’s child.
“She said I cursed her child but I never did that. I don’t wish her child evil. God will bless and give her child wisdom. I love children so much.”
She went on to allege that the constant attacks are driven by relevance-seeking.
“She drags me every time because it is my name that makes her relevant.”
Iyabo concluded by distancing herself from the feud entirely, stating her focus is now financial growth and personal peace.
“This is 2026, all I want to do is to make money. I don’t have her time. She is delusional. If they don’t take her for medical treatment, she is not going to stop and I really feel so bad for her. She is so stressed out. SHE NEEDS HELP.”
