In recent times, the relentless assault on actress and activist Iyabo Ojo has raised eyebrows and questions. Behind the barrage of accusations and hostility lies a web of personal vendettas, envy, and a shared refusal to accept her unwavering stance against injustice. We must shed light on the real reasons behind these attacks, especially for those who may be unaware.

These personalities, each with their motives, are attacking her not because of her actions alone but because she challenges their egos, interests, and moral failings.
