However, her statement urging women to aspire for a mother-in-law similar to Mohbad’s mother sparked controversy and drew ire from many, who found the sentiment distasteful, especially in relation to her own daughter, Priscilla.

Addressing the criticism during a live session, Iyabo Ojo vehemently defended her stance and lashed out at her critics, condemning their rudeness and lack of manners.

She delved into the backstory of Mohbad’s mother’s absence, suggesting that she might have endured hardships in her marriage with Mr. Joseph Aloba, which led to her abandoning her children for a decade.

“What is your concern with my post? Are you all suffering from absent parents? Do you know what she faced in the marriage before abandoning her children for ten years? You lots are unfortunate fools. Are you crazy? All of you cursing that woman will be affected by that curse and your home generations. Most of your mothers are worthless and can’t even be showed off,” she said in part.
