How I Found My Place In Mr Ibu’s Family – Ibu’s Adopted Daughter, Jasmine

The adopted daughter of John “Mr. Ibu” Okafor, Jasmine Okekeagwu, has shared details about her interactions with the actor’s family.

Jasmine disclosed in a video posted to her social media accounts that she was adopted as Mr. Ibu’s daughter following the death of her father many years prior.

She claimed that Mr. Ibu had “played the role of a father figure in my life” ever since her biological father, a military man, passed away.

According to Jasmine, she totally embraced the Okafor family in 2020 when Mr. Ibu began requesting money from her while she was pursuing her studies in Cyprus.

She claimed Stella Maris, Mr. Ibu’s wife, at about the same time, begged her for money to take care of their family.

“The first and most important question I get most of the time from people is does she not have a family, does she not have a parent? Leave this family alone,” she said.

“So many years ago, my dad passed on. He was in the Nigerian army. He was a very good friend to Mr. Ibu who is now a father figure in my life. My dad passed on. Mr. Ibu himself was at the burial. Ever since then, he has played the role of a father figure in my life. Not for once have I ever needed someone as a father figure and he was not there for me.

“Fast forward to 2018, I left Nigeria to look for greener pastures. Things were working out for me. I was doing good and fine. Later on, I relocated to Cyprus to study law.

“Fast forward to 2020, Mr. Ibu started writing me on WhatsApp requesting financial assistance. I was really surprised because before I left he was doing very well if not at the peak of his career. He was doing absolutely well. He has exotic cars. Everything was okay for him.

“I asked why he was asking for such money like N50k, N10k, that was the first time he told me he was sick and was in Abuja. I asked his wife but he said she was in Lagos while he was in Abuja. He didn’t really say much then.

“The wife claimed Mr Ibu left the house for over two years and abandoned the children. That things were really bad for her.

“At one point I said I was coming back to Nigeria. Because at that point, I was dating someone and we were talking about getting married and I had a reason to come to Nigeria. I was also talking to Daddy’s son, Valentine, who was in South Africa.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]
