Fayose’s Brother Calls Out Iyabo Ojo Over 7k Pepper Soup Bowl
Isaac, the younger sibling of the former governor of Ekiti, Ayo Fayose, has accused actress Iyabo Ojo of insulting him after he voiced his displeasure over receiving three bones with his N7,000 pepper soup.
Fayose described his altercation with the well-known movie star in a since-deleted video that he posted on his Instagram profile.
He claims that he paid N7,000 for pepper soup at the actress’ Lekki restaurant, but only received three bones.
He said that although he had been a consistent patron of her business for the previous year, he wasn’t happy with this particular service.
He noted their services were deteriorating and called his cousin, Toyin Lawani, to talk to her friend about the problem.
To his dismay, Fayose claimed Ojo called to attack him, saying that he was impoverished and merely searching for quick fame, which is why he had originally made a video of the bowl of pepper soup.
He said: “I bought pepper soup from Iyabo Ojo in Lekki 1 and they gave me three bones and I complained. Iyabo Ojo started abusing me. She called me to abuse.
“She said I’m looking for cheap popularity. That if I’m not looking for cheap popularity, why will I do that. Because I did a video and I sent to my cousin Toyin Lawani. That advise your friend that the service is going down.
“I’ve been buying food from Iyabo Ojo’s place for the past one year, I have all my receipts here.
“Iyabo called me and started saying all sorts to me that I’m poor, that’s why I’m asking for the next round. And she banged the phone on me.
“My people, watch this video see 7k pepper soup and tell me; will you buy it?”
Then he shared a video of a bowl of seven thousand pepper soup with three bones in it, repeating that the food was way too subpar for the price and supporting his claim that the quality of their service had seriously declined.
In a more recent video, however, Fayose expressed regret to Ojo for giving her the impression that he was trying to disrupt her plans.
He repeated that he had been her client for a year and “had never complained” as he retold the story of the occurrence.
Fayose encouraged Ojo to let things go and used Davido’s motto, “We rise by lifting others,” in his caption. However, he added, “Please I am still patiently waiting for my sorry”.
