Iyabo Ojo, a Nollywood actress, has lamented her numerous burdens and her difficulties dealing with the Lagos State administration.
The actress gave a long speech on her Instagram page, using herself as an example of why many celebrities are afraid to speak out on national problems due to the potential backlash.
Iyabo mentioned the financial costs she has incurred through her support of Peter Obi, the Labor Party, and Comedienne Princess’s foster daughter.

She bemoaned having to regularly pay her business taxes, mortgage and loan taxes, be the family’s primary provider, and pay the bills for more than thirty individuals that rely on her.
To make it worse, since 2020, her business has been going through ups and downs, hence why she bought her house on a mortgage yet her bills keep increasing.
Iyabo added that with the little she makes and the bills which are so overwhelming, she is unable to save.
I’m too outspoken, too confrontational, too blunt, they say …….. my opinion must not be heard, unless it aligns with theirs, i must stay silent or get crippled, the witch hurt in eating deep into my soul but ……. damn, the hate screams louder. i fought for a girl child who was sexually molested, i was labelled bad & evil bcos one of my own (Yoruba) (senior colleague) was the accused, again i chose to follow my heart & support LP & the hate & resentment grew even worse & i was labeled an (Omo Ale Yoruba) & now i must pay a compulsory best of judgment based on my celebrity status by the Lirs of over 18m personal income tax…. so now i have paid from 2014 – 2019….. but i must pay the remaining of almost 18m for 2020 – 2022 b4 the end of Nov or go to court…. every effort on my part to reduce it was rejected, even when i had to forcefully accept it, my payment plan has also been rejected, i even had to write an apology letter, yet they refuse to give me an easy payment plan, now tell me if this is not witch hurting, and I’m suppose to stay silent 🤔

Since 2020, which was the Covid 19 lockdown season, who really made money, tell me? if i had made so much i won’t have bought my house on mortgage, since 2020 my business has been going through ups and downs, yet i still constantly pay all my business tax, mortgage tax, loan tax etc……

I’m the breadwinner, over 30 people depending on me, dollar raising almost everday, fuel high, diesel high, everything expensive, but still i was given 3 months to pay over 18m, how?????

The money we make, the bills are so overwhelming even to save is a problem…

Which kind of business will you people have me do to make a profit of 18m to pay you this period…
Why is my payment plan being denied, Why ?
