In a surprising twist, Actor Prince Eke has shared his thoughts on the ongoing controversy surrounding Nollywood veteran, Mr. Ibu.
The Nollywood scene has been thrust into the spotlight by recent allegations involving the renowned actor, Mr. Ibu (John Okafor), and a young woman he introduced as his daughter. These accusations have garnered significant attention, especially amid a challenging period for Mr. Ibu, who has been grappling with severe health issues.
Mr. Ibu has been a focal point of public concern for weeks, primarily due to his health crisis. Following a distressing plea for help and subsequent hospitalization, reports surfaced suggesting that Mr. Ibu had undergone a leg amputation—a development that deeply saddened both his fans and colleagues. Amidst this turmoil, concerns about the handling of funds raised for his treatment began to emerge. Accusations were exchanged within the family, with fingers pointed at his wife and daughter, leading to a bitter and public family feud.
The situation took an even more dramatic turn when an audio leak suggested that Jasmine, the young woman Mr. Ibu presented as his daughter, might not be his biological child. Deepening the scandal, Jasmine’s ex-husband stepped forward, alleging that she and Mr. Ibu were involved in a sexual relationship while maintaining the public facade of a father-daughter bond. This revelation, if true, casts a disturbing light on their relationship, especially since Mr. Ibu had formally adopted Jasmine.
Nollywood actor Prince Eke expressed his shock and confusion over the conflicting narratives he’s encountered. He pointed out that if the allegations about Mr. Ibu and Jasmine’s relationship are true, it amounts to incest. In his view, family isn’t solely defined by biology, and by introducing Jasmine as his daughter, Mr. Ibu had established a familial bond that should have precluded any sexual relationship.
Eke emphasized that there were various other ways Mr. Ibu could have introduced Jasmine to the world – as a best friend, a family friend, or a colleague. By choosing to label her as his daughter, Mr. Ibu, according to Eke, blurred moral lines. Eke revealed that if these allegations are true, Mr. Ibu needs to seek forgiveness and reflect deeply on his actions.
Bros, you were committing incest, and you need to ask God for forgiveness. ASAP. Family isn’t only biological. There are many tags you could have given her: Bestie, family friend, colleague, etc. but NOT ‘daughter.’ #my2cents”
