Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo is trending for all the right reasons after two separate women shared heartwarming stories of their personal encounters with the star, describing her as genuinely kind and down-to-earth.
Airport Encounter: A Star Plays with a Stranger's Child
The first story, shared on Thursday, December 4, 2025, came from a social media user identified as duchesskk. She recounted meeting Iyabo Ojo at a Nigerian airport. According to her post, her young daughter spontaneously ran up to a woman and began playing with her.
Instead of shooing the child away, the woman, who turned out to be the famous actress, bent down and engaged with the little girl. Duchesskk said she was stunned to later realize the kind stranger was the Nollywood icon. This simple, human moment left a lasting impression on the mother.
A Childhood Memory of Care and Apples
In a separate post, another lady, Madam Keji, shared an even more personal story from her childhood. She revealed that when she was just seven or eight years old and seriously ill in the hospital, Iyabo Ojo came to visit her.
Madam Keji explained that the actress, whom she affectionately called 'Queen Mother', did not just make a brief appearance. She reportedly stayed overnight to care for the sick child personally. Madam Keji credited Iyabo Ojo with introducing her to a love for apples and described her as a woman with a profoundly kind heart, ending her story with a prayer for the star's blessings.
Social Media Erupts with Praise and Shared Stories
The posts sparked a wave of reactions from fans and followers who were touched by the accounts. Many used the opportunity to share their own positive experiences with the actress, cementing her reputation for warmth off-screen.
User @itzsusanbuk commented, 'It is evident by how she carries people matter on her head... she surely has a very good and large heart.' Another fan, @wendyleo28, simply stated, 'She can never do wrong in my eyes.'
@theshalomokezie called her a 'sweet soul,' while @motolarie noted it's clear from 'how she takes strangers issues personal.' Adding to the chorus, @mhizz_toks shared her own airport encounter, recalling helping Iyabo Ojo with her luggage before realizing who she was, and affirmed she was a nice person.
These viral stories offer a refreshing glimpse into the character of a celebrity often in the public eye, highlighting acts of unpretentious kindness that resonated deeply with the online community.
