Netizens blast Iyabo Ojo for body-shaming pregnant Laura Ikeji
By Francesca Hangeior
Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo is once again in the news for the wrong reason as unseen footage of her body-shaming a then-pregnant Laura Ikeji surfaces online.
In the clip, the movie star who is one of the cast of Real Housewives of Lagos had body shamed Laura in a pool scene at Salt Beach.
Iyabo had stated that Laura Ikeji can’t rock a bikini because she isn’t sexy. Iyabo added that Laura couldn’t come into the pool because of her legs, which she likened to a yam.
During the reunion, Laura noted how Iyabo heavily body-shamed her without knowing she was pregnant.
“When we came downstairs, the first thing Iyabo told me was to wear my bikini to the pool and I can’t show my body because my body isn’t fine. Look at your leg, your leg is big, look at your tummy and I was fùcking pregnant”.
The video has since sparked outrage online with many pointing out the hypocrisy of how Iyabo was fighting for Mohbad, yet was bullying others.
One Kelz Tbq wrote, “Ewwew someone’s mother. Acting like a child.
One Looking for Ugo wrote, “Very razz and uncouth old woman.
One Onyeri Victoria wrote, “Bully
One Culture World wrote, “Na wa oh. I didn’t expect this from Iyabo at all.
One Gifted Edge wrote, “Agbaya Aunty Iyabo. VDM fits you.
One Faith Martins Official wrote, “Iyabo is the amusu she doesn’t know she is”.
Last year, a then very pregnant Laura Ikeji slammed Iyabo revealing that the respect she once had for Iyabo as an idol has been diminished.
She further called her out for her bullying behavior.
Hitting back at her, Iyabo slammed Laura for playing the victim, pointed out how her blogger sister, Linda Ikeji is the Queen of Bullies, and recounted the lies the famous blogger wrote about her.
In a later post, Ojo lashed out at the producers of the reality show, stating that she had been trying to hold herself so that everyone could enjoy the show, but couldn’t hold it any longer.
Calling out the production team, she slammed them for their cut and joined which she considers irritating and annoying. She questioned why they cut out a particular scene which led up to her outburst.
In a surprising twist, Iyabo Ojo had bowed to pressure and had tendered a deep apology to Laura and Faith Morey.
The mother of two denounced any form of bullying, as she stated that she has remained the same person over the years and stands for justice and fairness.
However, in the midst of it all, she admitted that she offended some people with her behavior, which are certain attributes to bullies and as such, she is apologizing for it.

FUOYE Re-Marks Exam Papers of Student Failed By Lecturer Over Sex-for-Grade Scandal, Secures Justice
The Federal University, Oye Ekiti, Ekiti State, has cleared a female student, Ramota Olahanloye, to graduate following the re-marking of her final-year examination scripts.
Olahanloye had alleged that a lecturer, Dr. Anthony Agbegbedia, demanded sexual favours from her, and when she declined, he deliberately failed her in two final-year courses.
In a statement issued on Friday by the Special Adviser on Media to the Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Wole Balogun, the university confirmed that Olahanloye’s allegations were investigated, and her scripts were re-marked.
“The young lady’s scripts were re-marked, and she performed fairly better than the scores initially awarded by Dr. Anthony Agbegbedia,” the statement read.
According to Balogun, the university management approved Olahanloye’s revised results, which qualified her for graduation.
“The university management has given executive approval for her results to be processed. She has since commenced her final clearance from relevant units of the university,” the statement added.
Balogun also disclosed that Agbegbedia had been sanctioned by the institution for his misconduct.
Olahanloye expressed her joy over the resolution of the case, saying, “I am happy that I have gotten justice, and I really appreciate the university Vice-Chancellor for setting up the committee that investigated the matter.
“I was shown my entire results, including the graduation list with my name on it. I have started my clearance as a graduating student of the university, and I am truly happy.”
Her father, Rasaki Olahanloye, also lauded the university for its commitment to justice.
“I can confirm to the world that FUOYE has served justice to my daughter. I was shown her upgraded results after her scripts were re-marked, and it is clear that she passed.
“The university fulfilled its promise to ensure fairness, and I appreciate the VC, Prof. Sunday Fasina, and the committee members for ensuring my daughter gets justice,” he said.
