She Even Unfollowed Me – BBNaija Star, Phyna Reveals Why Iyabo Ojo No Longer Supports Her (Video)

Popular Nigerian Reality TV star, Josephina Otabor, who is better known as Phyna, has explained why actress Iyabo Ojo no longer interacts with her as before.

Phyna said the actress stepped back from supporting her because of her link with social media activist VeryDarkMan, also known as VDM.

She shared this view during a live session with her followers on social media, where she spoke about changes she noticed in Iyabo Ojo’s behaviour toward her.

According to Phyna, Iyabo Ojo once showed regular support by liking and commenting on her posts online.

She explained that this suddenly stopped, and she believes it is connected to her association with VDM.

Phyna added that the situation made her feel that Iyabo no longer had the same affection for her as before.

She further stated that the issue did not only affect her relationship with Iyabo Ojo but also caused problems with other people online.

Phyna revealed that her link with VDM led to clashes with some influencers and even pushed her into online arguments she would normally avoid.

“I feel mama doesn’t like me that much again because before she used to comment on my posts, she used to like it, now she no longer likes it and I’m very sure it’s because of that d!rty boy.

“I even went as far as attacking Vee Iyele because of that dirty boy,” Phyna said.

VeryDarkMan, whose real name is Martins Otse, is known for frequent online clashes with celebrities and public figures.

Nigerian Singer, Portable Slams Actress Iyabo Ojo Over ‘Single Mother’ Comments (Video)

Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, the controversial Nigerian singer, who is popularly known as Portable, has slammed actress Iyabo Ojo for commending single mothers.

The mother of two had praised single mothers, claiming that men are now after them as they have achieved a lot in life. She also stated that children of single mothers are now more successful.

Reacting to the clip, Portable disagreed with the actress. He argued that men are simply after the money that single mothers are making.

Portable further told the movie star, whose son-in-law had a concert a few days ago, that married women are more successful than single mothers.

Not stopping there, Portable pointed out that Iyabo Ojo was encouraging people to become single mothers, despite her daughter recently getting married to a Tanzanian singer.

He questioned the actress about the kind of advice she was giving to women and warned that she should offer better guidance.

According to the Zeh Nation boss, single mothers are heartbreakers, and men will only take money from them and sleep with them without intending to marry them.

He added that the money taken from single mothers would be used to care for married women at home.

Portable also inquired about the advice Iyabo Ojo was giving to young women who aspire to marry, suggesting that the actress might be encouraging them to leave their marriages after having one or two children.

“Which advice do you even want to give to the younger ones getting married? That they should be giving birth for different men?

“One child for one man, three children for three different men?” he asked.

Men Are Now Chasing Single Mothers, They Want To Marry Us – Nollywood Actress, Iyabo Ojo Says (Video)

Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has shared her perspective on society’s current perception of single mothers.

In a video, the mother of two said the attitude has changed as more men are openly seeking serious relationships with women who already have children.

The actress spoke on December 20, 2025, while addressing the growing confidence among single mothers and how they are now better accepted in relationships and marriage.

She explained that single motherhood is no longer seen as something to be ashamed of, noting that many women in this situation are thriving in their careers and raising successful children.

According to her, the old belief that single mothers should be sidelined is fading fast.

Iyabo Ojo said many men now prefer single mothers because they are more mature and understand life better.

She added that these men are no longer interested in casual relationships but often make it clear that they want commitment and marriage.

She also encouraged women who have gone through broken relationships not to lose hope, stating that the end of one relationship does not mean the end of love or marriage opportunities.

The actress described herself as the President General of the Single Mothers Association and urged single mothers to carry themselves with confidence, strength, and self-respect.

She advised them not to feel embarrassed about their status, stressing that their value is not reduced because they have children.

Iyabo Ojo concluded by reminding women that being left by a partner does not make them unwanted, as there will always be someone ready to love and accept them fully.

She said: “Gone are the days when being a single mother was a stigma. Single mothers’ children are doing great things in life. Men are chasing single mothers. They are even begging us that they don’t want us to be a side chick. They want us to marry them because we have experience. If a man leaves you, another man will accept you. I am The President General of the Single Mothers Association.”
