Nollywood Yoruba actress Iyabo Ojo and single mum of two has just released some new family photos.
Marrying a Lagos-based movie marketer in 1999, when she was 21, she took a break from pursuing her career. She gave birth to a son and then a daughter (born in 1999 and 2001 respectively) but is now divorced from their father.
Iyabo Ojo’s first child, Festus is now studying at the University and his sister Priscy too recently joined her brother in the University.
Recall she narrated how she sold her gold jewellery in order to pay school fees until there was no more to sell.
She said,
“My world is u and u are my world. Keep making mama proud! U both are d true definition of LOVE, the reason why I can’t stop succeeding #familyisgolden #mykidsmylife. I remember those days when I had to go sell my gold set anytime I didn’t have enough money to pay 4 my kids primary school fees, Until one day I found out I had no more gold to sell n I had to work back to back 4 peanut just to gather money to pay, wondered that day with tears in my eyes if I would be able to see my kids thru school all on my own; hummmmnm but today all I have is gratitude 2 Baba God, Jah u are too much. Hummmmm. How time flies. #Godwin #blessallgoodmothers.” (sic)Here are some of the photos:
