Vanessa Okoye, daughter of talent manager Paulo Okoye and stepdaughter to Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, has publicly defended Priscilla Ojo, her father’s stepdaughter, following criticism from a Tanzanian activist.
The activist had issued a warning to Priscilla Ojo, urging her to tone down public displays of affection and romantic posts, which the activist claimed were a distraction amid Tanzania’s ongoing political tensions.
The message sparked debate online and attracted backlash from supporters and critics alike.
Responding in a strongly worded social media post, Vanessa Okoye stood firmly by Priscilla, stating that no form of attack on her family would be tolerated.
She questioned the motive behind the public criticism, suggesting envy may be driving the activist’s reaction.
She wrote, “I will never take it if you attack my family. There is a special grace that follows Priscilla and if you don’t understand the grace, you will just be speaking rubbish for the rest of your lives.
“You people should leave Priscilla alone. You all should go and marry, fall in love and be valuable to some people’s lives then you will see the blessing she has gotten. You can’t be ranting, insulting and laying curses on the social media. What is the problem you have with Priscilla? If her wedding is disturbing you, you can go and have yours too.”
