Nollywood star Iyabo Ojo has sparked excitement online after publicly thanking fellow actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele for gifting her a brand-new iPhone, describing the gesture as “everything.”
In a lighthearted post shared on her Instagram page, where she boasts millions of followers, Ojo praised Akindele as a true friend and a “talk and do” personality, affectionately calling her “booboo.”
“Can your friend ever, ever?” she asked her fans playfully, before adding, “Thank you, booboo @funkejenifaakindele! This beautiful gift is everything!”
Clearly thrilled, Ojo announced that she has officially rejoined the “iPhone gang,” while humourously noting that her love for Samsung phones isn’t entirely over.
“Chai! But Samsung still has a special place in my heart… na small, small o!” she wrote with laughing emojis.
The post has since garnered over 138,000 likes, including one from BBNaija star Mercy Eke, and sparked a wave of admiration from fans and celebrities alike who praised the display of friendship and generosity between the two movie stars.
Ojo, who was seen wearing a stunning dress from Mubrik Luxury in the photo accompanying the post, ended her caption with gratitude and a sense of excitement: “You’re the real MVP, Ore mi!”
The feel-good moment not only reinforces the bond between two of Nollywood’s leading ladies but also delighted fans who often celebrate unity and mutual support among industry figures.
