Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo found herself in a war of words with trolls after reaffirming her love for her partner, Paulo Okoye, in response to a loving gesture shared by an artist.
Iyabo Ojo expressed her unwavering affection for Paulo Okoye alongside a painting gifted to them by an artist, declaring their love as eternal and unbreakable.
However, some online critics seized the opportunity to criticize Iyabo for repeatedly proclaiming everlasting love without apparent reciprocity from Paulo.
One commenter, Chiamzy, questioned Iyabo’s sincerity, suggesting that her expressions of love were desperate and one-sided. In response, Iyabo defended her stance, adamantly affirming their relationship as a “forever deal” and dismissing the critic with a sharp retort.
Undeterred by Iyabo’s rebuttal, Chiamzy doubled down on the accusation of desperation, prompting Iyabo to assertively question the commenter’s authority to pass judgment.
This exchange comes after Iyabo Ojo went public with her relationship with Paulo Okoye on her 45th birthday, confirming speculations and sharing moments of their journey together on social media. In subsequent interviews, the couple openly discussed their relationship dynamics, emphasizing mutual enjoyment and dismissing pressure for further commitments like having children.
Iyabo Ojo’s journey to happiness hasn’t been without challenges, as she previously endured a failed marriage with Mr. Ademidun Ojo, with whom she shares two children. Reflecting on her past, Iyabo opened up about experiencing poverty for the first time during her marriage, describing it as an eye-opening adventure that ultimately shaped her perspective on life.
