In other news, actress Biodun Okeowo, commonly known as Omoborty, has responded to those who condemned her for celebrating her colleague Lizzy Anjorin’s birthday.
Lizzy’s birthday on Thursday was celebrated by many of her colleagues, including Mercy Aigbe, Faithia Williams, and Omoborty.
Bidoun congratulated her colleague, and wrote, “Happy birthday to my incredibly hardworking Alhaja! May your special day be filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
“As you continue to shine, may you be blessed with even more success, happiness, and fulfillment in the year ahead? Here’s to many more remarkable achievements and inspiring moments. Age gracefully @lizzyanjorin_original.”
Omoborty was, however, criticized for celebrating the actress, who is now involved in a court battle with rival actress Iyabo Ojo.
Many people argue that Omoborty should not have celebrated Lizzy because she and Iyabo are close friends.
In response to the criticism, she wrote in an Instagram post on Friday that she is an advocate for peace and believes that life is too short for meaningless fights.
She wrote: “Hmmmmmmm. God, please rain down your peace, I plead.
“I am an advocate of PEACE. Let no one teach me otherwise on this space. Upbringing matters, so internet won’t change me now. Hope that sinks.
“Dear fans, Hope you know that when our loved ones fight, it puts us, their friends, in a dangerous spot. Why are some of you compounding it? How do we live to inherit a feud we don’t know the genesis?
“If only people know that, When there’s no peace, it affects both the innocent and the culprit. It is extremely exhausting! Dear God! Please this peace is needed NOW!
“Honestly, it’s so sad. I don’t know why the Yoruba Adage of “Agba kiwa loja, kori omo tuntun wo” is not working here? Life is too short for unnecessary conflicts. Let’s choose peace and kindness instead. Let’s remember that forgiveness and understanding can heal wounds and restore harmony. May we find the strength to let go of grudges and embrace reconciliation. AMEN.”
