Actor weighs in on reality star’s strained family ties
Nollywood actor Ijebu has advised former Big Brother Naija housemate Imisi to reconcile with her mother, describing the woman as her “mini-god.” Ijebu shared the message during a recent Instagram live session, where fans asked him to comment on the public tension between Imisi and her family.
The actor, known for his comedic roles but respected for his outspoken views, encouraged the reality TV star to prioritise peace over pride. According to him, no matter the disagreements that may have occurred, a mother remains a central figure whose blessings and support cannot be underestimated.
‘No matter what happened, go back home’ – Ijebu
Speaking further, Ijebu said he understood that misunderstandings between parents and their children can sometimes become overwhelming, especially when fame puts additional pressure on relationships. However, he stressed that Imisi should take the first step toward reconciliation.
“Your mother is your mini-god on earth,” the actor said. “No matter what happened, go back home. Apologise, sit with her, and settle whatever issues you both have.”
His remarks resonated with many viewers, prompting a wave of reactions across social media platforms.
Fans express mixed reactions to the advice
Shortly after the video surfaced, Nigerians took to X and Instagram to share their opinions. While a large number of users agreed with Ijebu’s call for reconciliation, others argued that the full details of Imisi’s family dispute were still unclear.
Some supporters said they believed the actor offered sincere guidance that could help repair a valuable relationship. Others pointed out that reconciliation should not be forced if deeper issues, such as emotional hurt or unresolved conflict, are present.
A few comments suggested that Imisi should speak publicly to give her own account of the family situation, as most of what is circulating online remains speculation.
Imisi yet to respond publicly
As of the time of filing this report, Imisi has not made a public statement regarding Ijebu’s advice. The former reality star has maintained a relatively low profile since leaving the Big Brother house, despite gaining a significant online following.
Attempts to reach her management team for comments were not immediately successful.
Family reconciliation in the spotlight
Experts in family psychology note that public disputes involving celebrities often attract greater scrutiny, making reconciliation more challenging. According to one Lagos-based mediator, fame can create distance between public figures and their families, as private disagreements quickly become topics of public conversation.
The expert added that public appeals from entertainment colleagues can sometimes help, but true reconciliation requires honest communication and willingness from both sides.
Nigerians watch for next development
The situation remains ongoing, with fans and entertainment insiders waiting to see whether Imisi will heed Ijebu’s advice and reconnect with her mother.
For now, the actor’s message has added a new dimension to the discussion, highlighting the importance of family, forgiveness, and humility—values many Nigerians believe should not be lost, even in the glare of fame.
