In a surprising and heartwarming turn of events, prominent Lagos figure and former chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, has publicly reconciled with veteran Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo on the occasion of her 48th birthday.
A Public Gesture of Peace
The reconciliation unfolded on December 22, 2025, when MC Oluomo took to his official Instagram page to celebrate the actress. He shared a video of Iyabo Ojo alongside a lengthy and affectionate birthday message, which many interpreted as signaling an end to their previously reported tensions. The public tribute drew immediate and mixed reactions from fans and followers across social media platforms.
In his post, MC Oluomo lavished praise on the celebrant, describing her as a "phenomenal actress, a strong woman, and a loving mother." He highlighted that her talent, courage, and grace continue to inspire many. The former transport union leader went further to offer prayers for Ojo's new year, wishing her renewed joy, success, and endless reasons to smile.
The Heartfelt Birthday Message
The full text of MC Oluomo's message read: "Happy Birthday to the ever-radiant Iyabo Ojo, Queen Mother Iyabo Ojo Fespris. Today, we celebrate a phenomenal actress, a strong woman, and a loving mother whose talent, courage, and grace continue to inspire many. Your impact in the movie industry and beyond speaks volumes about your resilience and kind heart. May this new year bring you renewed joy, success, and endless reasons to smile."
He continued with a prayer: "I pray that Allah (SWT) grants you a long life filled with good health, peace of mind, and greater achievements. May He continue to protect, guide, and elevate you and your children, surround you with His mercy, and bless them with wisdom, favour, and excellence in all they pursue. May Allah make your home a place of joy and barakah. Ameen."
Iyabo Ojo's Milestone Year
Iyabo Ojo had celebrated her 48th birthday on December 21, 2025. The actress marked the occasion by sharing stunning photos on social media, captivating fans with her timeless beauty. However, in her own reflections, Ojo revealed that the year 2025 held profound personal significance beyond the glamour.
She expressed that her greatest gifts this year were the new titles of "mother-in-law" and "Glamma" (grandmother). This followed the lavish wedding of her daughter, Priscilla Ojo, to Tanzanian music star Juma Jux, and the subsequent birth of her grandson, Rakeem Ayomide Mkambala, in August 2025.
In her birthday post, Ojo wrote: "Daddy, adding 'mother-in-law' and 'Glamma' to my title is the best gift I got this year. Thank you, Lord — and yes! It shall be permanent... I've always told God that the only riches I desire are happiness and my kids, family, and loved ones thriving. I'm blessed because I'm surrounded by blessings…. Thank you, Lord, for making 2025 my year; I know 2026 is mine too."
Social Media Reactions
The comment sections under both posts were flooded with messages from fans and colleagues. Reactions to MC Oluomo's reconciliatory gesture were largely positive, with many applauding the move towards peace.
Some notable comments included:
- @funberts: "This is really good. There's nothing we'll do with fight. Thank You Lord for putting the devil to shame."
- @aroyeibaka_divasgold: "You are truly a gentleman, @kingmcoluomo. God bless your kind heart."
- @honeybee.1228: "May the Lord continue to bless your good heart @kingmcoluomo. Happy birthday to you IY sexyy..."
The public reconciliation also brings to mind the recent show of family support when Iyabo Ojo, alongside her son Festus, daughter Priscilla, and son-in-law Juma Jux, attended the premiere of Toyin Abraham's movie "Oversabi Aunty"—a film whose title was inspired by Abraham's active role in Priscilla's wedding festivities.
This birthday tribute from MC Oluomo not only celebrates Iyabo Ojo's personal milestones but also appears to mend fences, showcasing a powerful message of reconciliation and goodwill within Nigeria's vibrant entertainment and public circles.
