Prophet Abel Boma had shared a video prophecy warning Iyabo to be cautious of people planning against her, suggesting that if she wasn't careful, they might strike by the first quarter of 2026. The clergy member advised her to carefully choose the people around her as the year draws to a close.
Fans have since offered prayers on behalf of Iyabo Ojo and her daughter following these prophetic warnings, showing the strong connection between the actress and her supporter base.
The video comeback demonstrates Iyabo Ojo's resilience and ability to maintain her public presence despite ongoing controversies and discussions within the Nigerian entertainment landscape. Her decision to respond with humor and creativity rather than direct confrontation has been noted by industry observers and fans alike.
