I don’t get involved in people’s family issues no matter what but you see this Mr. Ibu’s issue? I have been fighting myself since this issue came to social media.
Unfortunately whatever gets online is no longer under control because social media court will judge the issue and pass the verdict right before you and the innocent one will become the victim while the guilty will be exonerated.
Before the filming of The Rising Sun, I had to go see Mr. IBU because I wanted him to be part of my cast.
For some reasons, he couldn’t come on board.
There are actors in Nollywood I don’t call on phone, when I have a project, I fly to where ever they are and have a meeting with them face to face.
He is one of them.
A lot I can’t say on social media but you see that girl Jasmine, if Mr. Ibu’s children had a mother, she is the one playing that role in the family.
She is a daughter that was forced to become a mother because someone failed in her responsibility.
This industry would have forgotten Mr. IBU since, if not because of the care that girl gives her father.
There are decisions you make early in life that at some point in your life, you will be happy you made them.
Jasmine is that decision Mr. IBU made early in his life that came back to pay him at old age.
God Never Forgets!
