The movie star berates Nigerians who have mocked her for crying more than the bereaved.

Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has revealed that she will not be backing down from the child molestation case against actor Baba Ijesha.

In a 7 minutes video shared via her Instagram page on Monday, May 10, 2021, the actress slammed Nigerians who have been accused of crying more than the bereaved in the child molestation case.

According to the movie star, who also is a rape victim, the government isn't the problem with Nigeria rather Nigerians are.

''I use to think the government was the problem in this country but I have to understand that we are our own problem. The way we are wired, the way we reason, the way we think, it is always all about us," she said.

"Oh, she is not your child so why are you so pained about it. That is the same problem we have in Nigeria. We are the problem in Nigeria. The day we begin to take up issues that do not concern us and treat them like our own problem, Nigeria will begin to get better."

"So my brothers and sisters I am that woman who would stand for that girl till the end. I am not backing down. Justice will be served. Thank you."
