Nollywood star Iyabo Ojo has revealed that she initially did not want a baby shower for her daughter, Priscilla, but later changed her mind out of respect for her colleague and friend, Lola Alao.
Speaking during a heartfelt speech at Priscilla’s baby shower on Sunday, Iyabo explained that when Lola first suggested organizing the celebration, she hesitated because they had already held several grand ceremonies for Priscilla earlier in the year, including her extravagant wedding.
“I remember when Aunty Lola told me we would do a baby shower for her. I said okay, we’ve been doing so much for her. Since February, the wedding was so long. But Aunty Lola is that special Aunty I can never say no to,” she said.
Iyabo added that she was also initially reluctant due to potential social media criticism but eventually agreed because she believes God’s blessings should never be hidden.
“This pregnancy is God’s blessing, and God’s blessing cannot be hidden. Priscy, live your life without fear because God is with you. Whoever wishes evil for another person’s child will be the one to experience it,” she declared.
The actress also used the opportunity to address critics and reaffirm her commitment to justice, emphasizing that all her public fights have always been for the right causes and not for personal gain.
“For every justice I have fought, I did it because I had to fight for that man, woman, or child. Let them gather for evil, with God, they shall scatter. It is only if I have ever collected a dime or had a different interest apart from fighting for justice that their evil plans can work, but they won’t,” she added emotionally.
The speech, captured on video, has since been widely shared online, with many praising Iyabo for her courage, transparency, and strong words of faith.
