God Is Greater Than Any Evil Planned Against Iyabo Ojo – Priscilla

Daughter of Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, Priscilla Ojo-Mkambala, has reacted to the fire that gutted her mother’s office in Lagos on July 8, 2025. She recently revealed that the fire outbreak is linked to a previous threat aimed at sabotaging her recent wedding.

Reacting via a statement shared on her Instagram page, alongside an image of a handwritten threat letter, Priscilla said that she arrived at that conclusion because the letter was delivered to her mother’s office on the 24th of May.

According to her, the write-up was an attempt to prevent JP2025 from happening, but fortunately, her mum was already on her way to Tanzania, so she couldn’t even read it until she returned to Nigeria.

She added that her family is currently reviewing CCTV footage to identify the person who delivered the letter.

Her words, “Sadly, on the 24th of May, this letter was delivered to my mother’s office.

It was clearly a threat to her life and an attempt to ruin JP2025. Fortunately, she was en route to Tanzania for my wedding at the time and didn’t read the letter until her return.

We will eventually identify the person and present the evidence to the police at the appropriate time. Additional CCTV cameras have since been installed in her office and at home.

While there are other unsettling developments I can’t disclose here, I want to make it clear: no amount of threats or criminal acts will silence my mother. God is greater than any evil, and in time, the truth will prevail.”

WOW.

Nollywood is a sobriquet that originally referred to the Nigerian film industry. The origin of the term dates back to the early 2000s, traced to an article in The New York Times. Due to the history of evolving meanings and contexts, there is no clear or agreed-upon definition for the term, which has made it a subject to several controversies.

The origin of the term “Nollywood” remains unclear; Jonathan Haynes traced the earliest usage of the word to a 2002 article by Matt Steinglass in the New York Times, where it was used to describe Nigerian cinema.

Charles Igwe noted that Norimitsu Onishi also used the name in a September 2002 article he wrote for the New York Times. The term continues to be used in the media to refer to the Nigerian film industry, with its definition later assumed to be a portmanteau of the words “Nigeria” and “Hollywood”, the American major film hub.

Film-making in Nigeria is divided largely along regional, and marginally ethnic and religious lines. Thus, there are distinct film industries – each seeking to portray the concern of the particular section and ethnicity it represents. However, there is the English-language film industry which is a melting pot for filmmaking and filmmakers from most of the regional industries.
