Congratulations are in order for Nollywood actress and entrepreneur Iyabo Ojo, who has officially unveiled her newly renovated office months after it was gutted by fire.
Back in July, tragedy struck when Iyabo’s office building caught fire, leaving parts of the property destroyed. At the time, she shared a heartbreaking video of the incident but also expressed gratitude to the Nigerian Fire Service and her staff, who helped salvage what they could. She thanked God that no lives were lost, stating that “the devil tested us, but God said no.”
On Saturday evening, the actress took to her Instagram page to post a fresh video of the beautifully renovated space. In her caption, she gave all glory to God for seeing her through the difficult journey:
“Thank you Lord, to you be all the glory.”
Fans & Colleagues Rejoice With Iyabo 🙌
The post was met with an outpouring of love and congratulatory messages from fans and colleagues alike:
- Actress Lola Alao wrote: “My dear, I am so happy for you. To God be the glory.”
- Princess Comedian added: “Thank God for restoration.”
- Empress Njamah commented: “Congratulations Iyabo, more blessings.”
- Fans also chimed in with words like “Back and stronger” and “Back and better.”
Rising Above Negativity ✨
It will be recalled that while dealing with the aftermath of the fire, Iyabo faced public criticism when some men took to the streets of Lagos, chanting insults at her name over her involvement in late singer Mohbad’s case.
In response, Iyabo clarified via Instagram that she never accused anyone of being directly responsible for Mohbad’s death. She explained that over the years, some individuals have consistently called for her downfall, targeting her, her children, and her businesses, yet she continues to stand strong.
Support From Colleagues 💐
Many of her Nollywood colleagues have spoken up in her defense and offered words of encouragement:
- Best friend Lola Alao described Iyabo as a “kind-hearted person and cheerful giver” who often leaves her own problems to fight for others.
- Actress Opeyemi Aiyeola praised Iyabo for her resilience, noting that despite being entangled in numerous controversial situations, she remains an “angel to many.”
She urged Iyabo to continue staying strong, faithful, and true to herself.
From surviving a devastating fire to unveiling a stronger, more beautiful office, Iyabo Ojo’s journey is a true testament to resilience, faith, and restoration.
