Nigerian actress Iyabo Ojo has shared an adorable video on Instagram, showing her relationship with her long term partner, Paulo. The video, captioned “My backbone forever is the deal,” features the couple in a beach setting, holding hands and engaging in playful interactions.
Iyabo Ojo and Paulo are the picture of bliss and contentment. Iyabo Ojo affectionately referred to Paulo as her “Obim,”.
While the video has received an overwhelmingly positive response, with many fans adoring the couple’s chemistry, some netizens are also speculating differently.

This video release comes in the wake of recent criticisms aimed at Iyabo Ojo for her conduct on the reality show “Real Housewives of Lagos.” She has been accused of bullying fellow housemates, Faith Morey and Laura Ikeji, during the show. In one of the episodes, Iyabo Ojo even acknowledged her tendency to bully those she dislikes, stating that she doesn’t mind being labeled as a bully.
The timing of the video’s release led to speculation among some netizens that it might be a strategic move to divert attention from the controversy surrounding her alleged bullying behavior. They suggest that showcasing a romantic relationship could shift the focus from the negative publicity.
Interestingly, this development contrasts with Iyabo Ojo’s stance in August 2023, when she defended Big Brother Naija contestant IleBaye against bullying. At the time, she expressed admiration for Ile Baye’s emotional control and appealed to the Big Brother Naija organizers not to evict her. She empathized with IleBaye, acknowledging the challenges of standing up for oneself.
