Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has opened up about the secret behind her youthful appearance, her journey as a single mother and the reasons she has become less outspoken in recent years.
The actress made the remarks during an appearance on Morayo’s Show, where she spoke about beauty, family and personal growth.
‘Sex contributes to a woman’s glow’
When asked about the secret behind her radiant look despite raising her children as a single mother, Iyabo responded with a smile.
“Sex has a lot to do with a woman’s glow,” she said.
The actress also reflected on overcoming the stigma often associated with single motherhood, saying her achievements leave her feeling fulfilled.
“It makes me feel good, happy, and fulfilled,” she added.
Why she has become quieter
Speaking on why she has become less confrontational despite being widely known as the “Queen Mother,” Iyabo said her priorities have changed since becoming a grandmother.
According to her, she now avoids unnecessary public disputes because she does not want her daughter, who is now married, to be affected by negative attention.
“I have piped down because of my grandson now. My daughter is married, so when I keep fighting, the opposite side is going to come up with different false allegations, and I don’t want her going through any stress,” she said.
Despite her decision to reduce public confrontations, the actress maintained that she would not hesitate to speak up whenever she believes it is necessary.
“But if the need arises for me to speak up, then I will,” she said.
