Replying Mr Ibu's Ignorance Is Not Worth It – Ibinabo Fiberesima

The confrontation between AGN president Ibinabo Fiberesima and actor John Okafor, aka Mr Ibu, has finally boiled over as the AGN chief has finally decided to respond to his criticisms.

John had queried her over her allocation of the body’s money, and in a recent interview she granted Punch, the engaged actress said:"Which money is he talking about? That is why I said he is detached from the realities on ground.

"When we went to visit the President, there was no money promised to anybody. We didn’t go there to beg for money as Mr. Ibu is used to doing; we didn’t do that.

"They push you to the extent that you say things that you don’t want to. I’m not about money, for once they should stop and think, see what my team and I have achieved in two years. Replying Mr. Ibu would be trading intelligence with ignorance and I don’t think I have that time.

"I’m sure you have followed everything we have done and we have not hidden anything. Rather, we have been open about everything we have done, so if he attacks me the way he did, it clearly shows that he is completely detached from the reality, because he complained about things that we have achieved long ago, which shows that he is not part of the Guild,” she said.

I Have Moved On From Empress - Timaya

Their love had been the talk of the town and they seemed inseparable from each other grasps, but when the inevitable breakup occurred, both went on each other’s jugulars.

Timaya was the first to put their business into public and said then he regretted associating himself with the actress, and immediately the actress fired back saying her mother would have been a very angry woman had she gone to the altar with the Bayelsa State-born music artiste.

That was now. A long time ago and it seemed both have moved on with Timaya getting married and saying his wife is the type of woman he always wanted.

Empress, on the other hand, seems to still be on the search for her Mr. Perfect but that is not stopping her from living an active life.

She is working as an actress and has been actively doing her charity work and also running her House of Empress business venture.

However, Timaya has recently told a Vanguard reporter that he is over Empress. He said: “I’m not missing anything about Empress. She’s my past and I have a beautiful family now. What is there to miss about her?"

When Empress was asked to respond to Timaya’s new revelations she said she doesn’t want to have any more public fights over little things. She said: “I am beyond all these small talks. I’m more concerned with charity walks now."

"My interest in life is putting smiles on the faces of the deprived, the sad ones and those who need a helping hand.”
