Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has been left humbled after bagging a Leadership award.
The movie star, via her Instagram page, revealed that the Eko Heritage Awards awarded her the Eko Leadership Award for Youth and Empowerment. Appreciating the award organisers, she expressed her gratitude to them as she was humbled.
“Yesterday, I got an Eko Leadership award for youth and empowerment, proudly organised by @ekoheritageawards …. Thank you so much to the organisers; I’m grateful and humbled”.
Toyin Adewale, Biodun Okeowo, May Edochie, Itele, Tayo Adeniyi, Kazim Adeoti and others congratulated her as they noted how she deserved it.
The Leadership award is coming amid Iyabo Ojo’s messy fight with Very Dark Man, which was reignited after Very Dark Man shaded Iyabo Ojo, claiming that she didn’t get an invite to Davido’s main wedding, inferring that she was only invited to the after party, just like every other influencer. Iyabo had hit back with proof of her invitation, and the two dragged themselves through the mud on social media.
Defending her, The Managing Director of TVC, Morayo Afolabi Brown, had sent her a public note, sending her love and reassurance. She noted how people like her see Iyabo as a woman with noble intentions whose actions have been misconstrued.
Actress Wumi Toriola celebrated Iyabo Ojo’s resilience and achievements, calling her a brave, tender and fierce personality clothed in strength and dignity.
Actor Ibrahim Chatta also praised her, calling her a superwoman, which didn’t sit well with many.
Meanwhile, actress Sonia Ogiri slammed the actress, questioning if she isn’t exhausted and questioning why she was further disgracing herself and her family. She admonished her to learn from her colleagues like Genevieve Nnaji and Omotola Ekeinde and urged her boyfriend, Paulo Okoye, to take her inside.
