The internet is buzzing with heartfelt applause for Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, as a viral Facebook post by user Eshi Ayo sheds light on the actress's inspiring journey as a single mother. With words that have struck a chord across social media, Eshi declared, “When you are looking for single mothers to give flowers for raising decent kids and not nuisance, Iyabo Ojo should take the lead.” And the sentiment has rapidly gained traction, reigniting admiration for the actress and her admirable parenting story.
Iyabo Ojo, who has never shied away from discussing the ups and downs of her life, is being celebrated for doing what many consider extraordinary—raising well-mannered, focused, and accomplished children in the public eye, all while navigating life as a single parent. The recent high-profile wedding of her daughter, Priscilla Ojo, served as the perfect backdrop for this wave of recognition, as many fans began to reflect not just on the glitz and glamour of the event, but on the unwavering strength of the woman who raised her.
In a world where negativity often overshadows grace, this post serves as a bold reminder of the power of resilience, determination, and responsible motherhood. The Facebook user went on to commend Iyabo Ojo not just for her parenting but for refusing to let a failed marriage define or derail her life. “First, a single mother raising decent kids who are not a nuisance to social media or society is laudable,” Eshi wrote. And that truth resonates strongly with many who have watched Iyabo’s journey unfold both on and off-screen.
Iyabo Ojo’s daughter, Priscilla, has blossomed into a successful influencer and now, a married woman—all before the watchful eyes of the public. Rather than using her platform for clout or controversy, Priscilla has made a name for herself with grace and focus, proving that her mother’s efforts were not in vain. According to Eshi, Iyabo “pushed through, pushed her daughter forward, and today, Priscilla is a successful influencer and married at a good age.” That’s not just parenting; that’s vision.
One of the most compelling parts of the tribute was the mention of Iyabo Ojo’s decision to never deny her children the chance to know and bond with their father. In a society where bitterness often leads to broken co-parenting arrangements, her selfless stance is seen as both rare and commendable. “She made sure she allowed the ex-husband to be in her kids' lives. She said she didn't deprive him access,” Eshi noted, emphasizing a maturity that many fail to acknowledge in similar situations.
That decision has come full circle, with Priscilla’s father currently in Nigeria to celebrate her wedding—an act that speaks volumes about Iyabo’s commitment to family unity, despite the personal history she shares with her former husband. It’s not just about letting go of hurt; it’s about doing what’s best for the children, and that’s a kind of love and sacrifice that deserves to be honored.
Iyabo Ojo has long been celebrated for her talents in Nollywood, her bold fashion statements, and her vibrant personality on social media. But beyond the glitz and fame lies a woman who fought against the odds—emotionally, socially, and economically—to build a stable and loving life for her children. Her journey from a heartbroken young woman to a self-made powerhouse is a blueprint for many single mothers who often struggle to find hope amidst hardship.
The Facebook post concluded with a rousing note of praise: “Iyabo Ojo is selfless, oloun... She deserves all the flowers, a very hardworking and ambitious woman I stan. Congratulations to Priscilla and especially to Iyabo Ojo.” And that line perhaps sums up the feelings of thousands of fans who have followed her story for years. In a culture that often celebrates drama and controversy, it is refreshing to see genuine praise for a woman whose strength and grace have built a legacy.
The outpouring of love under the post has been tremendous, with hundreds of users sharing similar sentiments and recounting their admiration for Iyabo. Many praised her parenting, her consistency, and her ability to rise after every storm. Others shared their personal stories, seeing a reflection of their own struggles and triumphs in Iyabo’s narrative.
As the celebrations for Priscilla’s wedding continue to light up social media, it is clear that this is more than just a union of two people—it is a moment of victory for a mother who refused to let society dictate her worth. Iyabo Ojo’s story is one of transformation, from pain to purpose, from brokenness to brilliance.
It’s not every day that single mothers are acknowledged for the sacrifices they make, the nights they cry in silence, or the countless battles they fight behind the scenes. But today, Iyabo Ojo is being given her flowers—not just for her fame, but for her strength, her heart, and her unshakable commitment to motherhood.
So, when next you're searching for a role model, for a story of grace and grit, for proof that one can fall and rise even higher, remember Iyabo Ojo. She is not just a star on screen—she is a light in the lives of her children and an inspiration to millions. And yes, she deserves all the flowers.
