Iyabo Ojo is not one to stay silent about societal concerns, and her outspoken personality has pushed her towards continuously speaking up. Not too long ago, the Yoruba movie actress published a post on Instagram, addressing the current issue that many Nigerians are talking about, which is cost of living.
Attached to her post was a screenshot from a tweet she wrote, talking about how people were struggling on a daily basis, and that she’s scared of opening her messages because ninety percent of the messages she gets are depressing. The fact that people are comfortable enough to share their issues with her is no surprise, as she often gives away money online to fans.
In her caption, Iyabo Ojo wrote, “ The nation bleeds already I pray this present government will get up from the comfort of their riches and high horses, roll their sleeves and do right on time, hope is no longer hoping, tolerance is no longer tolerating, and patience is no longer patient, there is serious hunger & anger in the land. …. Emi l’okan, o ti kan a ra llu ba yii o”
