The wife of Nigerian comic actor John Okafor popularly called Mr Ibu, has called on Nigerians to pray for her husband.

For some time now, Mr Ibu had been down with an undisclosed ailment that made him take a break from Nollywood.

In the video shared on her Instagram page, Mr Ibu’s wife said her husband’s Instagram account had been hacked, and the suspect has been extorting money from some of the actor’s friends and colleagues.

She also said the husband has also lost his bank account details, and anyone who wishes to offer help to the ailing actor should contact her or come to the hospital where he is receiving treatment.

Mr Ibu’s wife added that Nigerians should pray for her husband, who is still in the hospital and irrespective of their situation, God is the greatest in everything.

Mr Ibu, who was also able to say a few words said he is fine and not in any critical conditions widely speculated, and if he wants to die, he will let the public know.

News recalls Mr Ibu reacted to the news of her adopted daughter, Jasmine, getting married to the man she met on Tiktok.

For Ibu, he has no problem with the new development as he has been looking forward to Jasmine’s marriage.

“She is not my biological daughter but I trained her. She calls me daddy and I call her daughter. I am okay with it (her getting married). I have been praying for them and I will keep on doing that.
“Man and woman got to know each other one day. It is a gradual process. However, I don’t want to see tears,” he said in an interview with Punch.

Speaking on his experience in the early days of his career, the comedy actor said, “My experience in the industry has been nice but in the course building my career, I encountered a lot of bad people. I was beaten publicly several times because of the roles I have played. I have also received slaps for free but those incidents did not get me angry.”

Asked if he agrees with those who say entertainers should stop campaigning for politicians if they cannot tell them the truth about the plight of the masses when it matters, Mr Ibu said, “(I am) completely okay (with it). I have rejected many invitations to be part of the campaigns of politicians. Any politician that does not have the interest of the people at heart should not be voted for.

“Many of them (politicians) will use every language they know to get on the good side of the public and get their votes. But, when they get into office, they would not give the public what they promised. That is why it is hard for me to go for campaigns. I walked into (Bola) Tinubu’s own. I was told he called us for a meeting. I walked in and saw a campaign going on.”

Insisting that he does not want any of his children to bear a resemblance to him, he said, “God forbid that my children look like me. There must be something wrong with any of my children who decides to resemble me.”
