Nigerian comedian Jectimi has publicly addressed actress Iyabo Ojo in a video shared via Instagram, offering strong words of advice concerning her ongoing face-off with controversial online personality VeryDarkMan.
In the caption, Jectimi stated that while Iyabo Ojo is far above VeryDarkMan in terms of status and reputation, she has failed to conduct herself accordingly.

He also criticised the broader Nigerian entertainment industry, calling it a place filled with fake love and hypocrisy.
In the video, Jectimi expressed disappointment at Iyabo Ojo’s creation of a WhatsApp group that recently sparked controversy after leaked messages by VeryDarkMan showed her criticising singer Davido.
He warned that such behaviour could damage her image, with many now seeing her as pretentious.
According to Jectimi, someone of her status should never have stooped to engaging in public back-and-forths or creating WhatsApp groups to backbite, all in the name of seeking justice for Mohbad.
He averred that instead of Iyabo Ojo bashing Davido in the WhatsApp group for still following Naira Marley at the peak of Mohbad’s death saga, she could have more easily reached out to him since she has his number.
The content creator averred that after blasting Davido behind his back, Iyabo Ojo still went to his wedding to eat rice.

The comic star also emphasised that Iyabo’s decision to go live and explain herself regarding VeryDarkMan’s accusation diminished her credibility.
He stated that she appeared to be reacting emotionally rather than with the maturity expected from a veteran actress.
He further questioned the authenticity of her actions in the “Justice for Mohbad” group, accusing her and others of playing double roles, preaching justice publicly while being petty behind the scenes.

Concluding his message, Jectimi urged Iyabo to detach herself from all dramas and focus on preserving her brand.
He framed the video as a heartfelt message, not an attack, and said he hoped she would take it seriously and reflect.
