Actress Iyabo Ojo Explains Why She Does Not Respond to Most Critics

By Farouk Mohammed

Nollywood Actress, Iyabo Ojo said in a recent chat with Sunday Scoop that critics are jealous people who wish to have the type of life she has.

According to her, “If I respond every time negative things are said about me, I wouldn’t be able to achieve anything. Anybody who has a destination in mind would not stop to throw stones at every dog that barks on the way.”

“Many of these so-called critics are just jealous people who wish they have the type of life you have. As for me, I concentrate on my career and business. I am too busy to bother about what people who don’t even know me have to say,” the actress continued.

When asked how she’s able to sustain their expensive lifestyle, she hissed before saying, “I learnt a long time ago that you can never satisfy everybody. If actresses don’t dress well, people would abuse them that upon all the films they act, they are not rich. And when these same actresses dress well, some people would be asking where they got the money from. I have stopped responding to things like that.”
