Nollywood actress Biodun Okeowo, popularly known as Omoborty, shared a profound message with her fans this morning.
In an extensive Instagram post, the actress called out to her Creator, pleading with him to provide her peace. She declared herself to be a peace activist and cautioned online users not to influence her to act in a different way. She emphasized that upbringing is important and that the internet wouldn’t make her a different person
She wrote “Hmmmmmmm. God, please rain down your peace, I plead. 🙏
I am an advocate of PEACE ✌️. Let no one teach me otherwise on this space. Upbringing matters, so internet won’t change me now. Hope that sinks?
Dear fans, Hope you know that when our loved ones fight, it puts us, their friends, in a dangerous spot. Why are some of you compounding it?
How do we live to inherit a feud we don’t know the genesis? Even if we know, we shouldn’t put fuel, rather learn to correct and make peace. Ija o dola!
If only people know that, When there’s no peace, it affects both the innocent and the culprit. It is extremely exhausting! Dear God! please this peace is needed NOW! 🙏
Honestly, it’s so sad. I don’t know why the Yoruba Adage of “Agba kiwa loja, kori omo tuntun wo” is not working here 😢😢?
Life is too short for unnecessary conflicts.
Let’s choose peace and kindness instead.
Let’s remember that forgiveness and understanding can heal wounds and restore harmony.
May we find the strength to let go of grudges and embrace reconciliation. AMEN 🙏”
In the comment section she continued as most of her fans still went ahead to criticize her.
she wrote “Even if we know the genesis of this whole feud, nobody knows what really brought that genesis, only the two involved can say, so we shouldn’t add fuel to the fire; instead, we should strive to correct and make peace. Ija o dola! I insist that PEACE is what I advocate for.
If 90% of us who claim to love either of them clamor for peace, I’m sure this fight wont degenerate into what it is
Every other comment against settlement in this comment section shows that the writer is not different from the accuser. When we talk about PEACE, it doesn’t necessarily mean that two people who are enemies will become friends. No! It simply means the fight should stop, and both parties should embrace peace. There are some feud settlements where we can never be friends with the other person afterward. Do you all know why? It’s because we all witness their fights becoming so messy. Should we still act unperturbed and let it get even messier? Because as it is, it’s already messy.
And No, I’m not taking sides with any one of them. I repeat, they are both my colleagues, so all I’m advocating for is that God restore peace among them. Regarding Lizzy laying curses on those innocent children, I heard about that for the first time yesterday, that she did that to Iyabo. I will never support that because I’m deeply concerned when it comes to children. But still, let’s all urge the fight to come to an end; I am pleading.”
