Popular Nollywood comic actor Olatayo Amokade, widely known as Ijebu, has urged Big Brother Naija season 10 winner, Imisi, to end the ongoing social media fight with her mother.
The actor made the call in a video shared on his Instagram page to address Imisi on Sunday evening.
Imisi and her mother have been in a public dispute after she won the N150 million BBNaija prize money.
Recall that Imisi spoke about her traumatic childhood experience on the reality show, saying she had an abortion at age 13 after being raped twice when she was 12.
“My dad sent me out of the house when I was just 11 years. I started selling fufu with my grandma before her place got burnt. Then things got really difficult for me,” Imisi told a fellow contestant, Kola.
Weeks after Imisi won, her mother, in a viral video, claimed she had been abandoned.
Questioning the timing of her mother’s complaint, Imisi noted their strained relationship prior to her fame, pointing out the absence of her mother during her struggles.
“Before I won BBNaija, I was living my life and you would not even call me in one or two years, so why is there a problem now?” she asked.
“God knows I tried. I still sent money to you last week and four days ago. Will I kill myself? You cannot remove N1 out of the money I won for anybody’s comfort. I have 100 people in the family looking up to me alone,” she said on her Instagram page.
Reacting to the ongoing online dragging, actor Ijebu urged Imisi to end the fight with her mother and seek forgiveness.
He further noted that her mother is her “mini god.” Ijebu said, “Imisi, I know you are a good girl. The Bible said we should honour our parents. This evening or tomorrow morning, I want you to visit your mother, go on your knees, hold her legs, and tell her you are sorry. Let her pray for you. No matter what she might have done to you, she is still your mini god on earth. After this, I don’t want to hear any dragging again online. If I hear anything again, I will be so mad at you.”
