Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Toyin Abraham, has stepped forward in defense of her colleague, Iyabo Ojo, amid the recent controversies surrounding the actress.
Toyin, who has always maintained a close bond with Iyabo, expressed her concerns that the public might dismiss Iyabo’s actions as an overreaction. She explained that Iyabo’s boldness in speaking out often comes from a place of genuine care, empathy, and an unflinching sense of justice.
In her words, Toyin prayed that people would not trivialize Iyabo’s passion for justice and fairness, stressing that it is a rare quality to see in today’s entertainment industry. “Sometimes, when people speak up, the world quickly tags it as unnecessary drama. But if you know Iyabo well, you will understand that she is simply standing up for what she believes is right,” Toyin said.
Her statement comes as fans and followers continue to debate Iyabo Ojo’s recent outspoken stance on industry issues and social matters. While some applaud her courage, others argue that her approach is sometimes too confrontational.
With Toyin Abraham now openly making a case for her, it is clear that Iyabo Ojo has strong allies within Nollywood who admire her resilience and boldness.
