Reactions as Yoruba actor Murphy Afolabi links up with his alleged abandoned 3 children
Reactions have been trailing the post of Yoruba Nollywood actor Murphy Afolabi as he links up with his alleged abandoned children.
Murphy Afolabi delighted his fans with beautiful photos of himself and his three children, boding and gearing up for the weekend.
Sharing the photos on his verified Instagram page, Murphy Afolabi claimed love is the oil that eases the friction and the cement that binds a family together.
He wrote: “In family life, love is the oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together, and the music that brings harmony.” Happy weekend to you all, much ❤️
Fans who reacted to this development cheered the actor for sharing such beautiful moments with his family online.
This is coming almost a month after a controversial blog called out Murphy Afolabi for allegedly abandoning his children with their mother.
Murphy Afolabi was alleged to abandon his wife and children while his wife ran to make ends meet.
“Kobo him no drop, na the wife dey hustle take care of those kids, na Eniola Ajao him dey knack up and down, Yeye Eniola Ajeku Odunlade”.
“Forgive me for doing this, na me say no vawulence today but I see Murphy oloyinbo isonu for comment section dey do like better person, Murphy matter don dey ground sef before itele own, I come see Werey dey comment like who God like, Werey drop him kids for Ikorodu he no go drop money and won’t go home for months…”
Murphy Afolabi took a swipe at those mocking him for his deeply rooted Yoruba accent.
In an interview with BBC Yoruba, the actor claimed his accent resulted from his origin, and nobody would understand him if he tried to force an accent.
He further disassociates himself with anyone who does not feel comfortable talking to him due to his accent, as that is how he will continue talking till old age.
He said: “There is nothing like someone is making fun of me. Your place of birth is your state. You can’t give birth to someone in Osun state and then you go to Lagos and say you want to have hairs like your father. I was given birth to in Osogbo and everyone knows that in my village, the way we pronounce our ‘S’ is different from the others. if you want to force yourself to speak like a Lagosian, people would hardly hear you. This is the way I’ll talk till I grow old. Whoever doesn’t like it should not play with me.”
The Mohbad’s team has announced that a candlelight procession and tribute concert will be held to honour the star.
The team announced this via Mohbad’s official Twitter page on Tuesday, September 19, 2023, detailing the arrangements for the services. In the caption, the management thanked the singer’s fans and well-wishers for their love and support shown towards Mohbad since his passing.
“We appreciate the outpouring of love from Fans across the world to the ones who’ve organized events in their communities as a way to honour and pay respect to our shining light we say thank you. Join us for Mohbad’s Candlelight Procession and Tribute Concert.”
The flier revealed that the candlelight procession is scheduled to be held on Thursday, September 21, 2023, with the point of rendezvous being the gate of Lekki phase one. The well-wishers present are scheduled to walk in honour of the star down to the popular Muri Okunola Park in Victoria Island, where the tribute concert is slated to take place.
The additional details were added in the tweet below the flier, “Date: Thursday 21st September 2023. Candlelight Procession Start Point: Lekki Phase 1 Gate. Time: 5pm (The candlelight procession will begin at Lekki Phase 1 Gate and end at Muri Okunola Park, Victoria Island, Lagos) Tribute Concert Starts at 8pm prompt at Muri Okunola Park.”
Mohbad died on September 2, 2023, at age 27, to the sheer shock and utter heartbreak of many. Nigerians home and abroad have since mourned his demise and called for justice due to the mysterious circumstances with which he passed. The Nigerian police have since launched an official investigation into his death, and a request has been drafted to the chief coroner of Lagos state, requesting an autopsy.
The singer’s well-wishers have been asked to wear white to the event, to represent the light that he was to those who knew him, and the hearts impacted by his music.

Moyo Lawal Says Her Leaked Sex Video With Ex-fiancé Shared Without Her Consent, Threatens Legal Action
Nigerian actress Moyo Lawal has reacted to a viral video of her having sex with a man now identified as her ex-fiancé.
The video leaked online on Saturday and remained one of the most trending topics on X, formerly Twitter, with many tweeps condemning her and accusing her of leaking the sex video herself to give her more publicity.
However, some people stood by her, saying it is never right to condemn someone without knowing the full story.
Taking to her Instagram page on Sunday, the Nollywood actress identified the man in the video as her ex-fiancé and threatened to sue whoever is responsible for leaking the video.
She wrote, “A private video of mine from a while ago has been inappropriately shared without my consent, violating my privacy and trust.
“I want to emphasise that this video was done with my ex whom I was to marry at that time, was never intended for public consumption and its unauthorised distribution is a breach of my boundaries.
“However this criminal breach of privacy will be treated with legal action.”
“It really hits me funny because I have always maintained a strict approach to my sexuality, even going as far as being celibate for a few years, refusing to date often and choosing to be alone most times. However, I am determined to not let this unfortunate incident break my spirit.”
She thanked those who have shown support for her saying, “I appreciate the support and understanding of those who have reached out to me during this challenging time.
“Please know that your kindness and goodwill means the world to me.”
Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw finds herself at the center of controversy after a social media user criticized her for allegedly poverty shaming Nigerians.
The actress faced backlash for a video she posted on her X account, where she was seen eating and making insinuations about her response when approached for money.
In the now-viral video, Henshaw showcased herself enjoying a meal while subtly suggesting how she might react when someone asks her for financial assistance.
“Pls go and queue for your palliative🙄🙄😒” she captioned the video.
The clip immediately caught the attention of a tweep, who quickly slammed the actress for her apparent insensitivity towards the struggles many Nigerians face.
“You see, this is a problem. Everytime y’all sore losers lose, you go for the poor. The same poor you conveniently claim to be fighting for when it suits you.
“Shame on you and whatever you stand for,” JemJem wrote.
