Actor Gbenro Ajibade Calls Wife Osas Irresponsible, Hypocrite
By Dipo Olowookere
All seems not to be well with the marriage of star actors, Gbenro Ajibade and Osas Ighodaro. The couple, who held an elaborate wedding some years ago, are battling to stay together under one roof as husband and wife.
At the moment, Gbenro has expressed his frustration at the way Osas is treating their child, describing the mother of his daughter as irresponsible.
Gbenro accused his wife of leaving home in the evening to attend parties or be with friends, leaving the child in the care of a nanny.
He said this has been going on for a long time and that efforts to make things work have been futile.
According to Gbenro, he is at a point he would not mind both parties going their separate ways because he is already fed up. The actor said he would want to take custody of the child in order to give her the best in life.
“Who leaves their baby in the house and goes out to party and hand with friends/event from 6pm till 5am?
“It’s not the first, second, third or fourth time. The other night, you slept out. You sent out baby with a stranger to drop her off back home with the nanny so you can be out all night.
“So quick to run out of the house and then not come till the following morning (I have lost count), forgetting you be person mama even if nothing else means to you. I can forgive you all the bullsh*t but between me and my child/children or being that responsible man, that is a no no.
“Since I have used both families to talk to you to no avail, you take this space/app more seriously, let the people out here ask you if you are really ready for this journey. If yes, you know what to do otherwise let me jump on the next flight to take my daughter and continue building her future for her outchea, which was the plan in the first place.
“It’s not about putting sh*t outside, it’s about final warning. I have tried every other means and you know it. It is not a do or die affair.
“Make up your mind and stop wasting a guy’s time. I see through the hypocrisy and crocodile tears,” Gbenro said in a post on Sunday morning.

A Nigerian actress, Temitope Osoba, fondly called Tope Osoba by her fans, has reportedly passed away.
She died barely a year after she survived a battle with breast cancer, reports say.
The 41-year-old entertainer left the acting world to cater to her health, but returned shortly after she had a successful treatment in 2025.
The movie producer, however, has not been very active in the past months, ostensibly due to her health.
Her demise has come as a shock to some of her colleagues and admirers, as she was very lively during her lifetime.
Details about the unfortunate incident, which became known to her fans on Wednesday morning, have not been given by her family.
The first official voting of Big Brother Naija Season 11 is here, and fans have the power to decide who stays in the House and who leaves the competition.
After a week of getting to know the housemates, watching alliances form and seeing personalities emerge, this is where fans move from watching the game to influencing it. If you’ve been thinking about voting, here are five reasons why now is the time.
1. This Is the Season’s First Real Eviction
First evictions are always significant. They set the tone for the weeks ahead, reshape the House and often change the direction of the game. Viewers hold the power to change the trajectory of the game as they influence who continues their BBN journey and who the first set of housemates to leave are.
2. It’s Too Early to Lose Someone You Enjoy Watching
You may not have settled on a favourite housemate yet, and that’s perfectly normal. It’s only the first eviction. But if there’s someone you’ve enjoyed watching over the past week, this is your chance to help keep them in the House. Waiting until you’ve picked a favourite could mean losing a housemate you wish had stayed a little longer.
3. Every Vote Shapes the Competition
Who stays and who leaves affects everything from alliances and rivalries to tasks and strategies. The decisions viewers make this week will have an impact on how the game unfolds in the coming weeks.
4. Online Buzz Doesn’t Keep Housemates in the House
A housemate may trend all week, but that doesn’t automatically translate into safety. At the end of the day, it’s the votes that determine who survives eviction.
5. Don’t Leave It to Someone Else
It’s easy to assume other fans will do the voting, but every vote contributes to the final result. If there’s a housemate you’d like to see remain in the competition, this is your opportunity to back them.
Here’s How to Vote
Voting is available through the MyDStv app and MyGOtv app, as well as the Africa Magic voting website.

After days of anticipation, Flora and Aikou have been confirmed as this season’s Gambits after receiving the highest number of votes from viewers. This was revealed during Sunday’s live show, where host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu announced the pair as the viewers’ choices.
Introduced as a brand-new twist for Season 11, The Gambit guarantees two selected housemates a place in the House until the final day. Although they will participate in tasks and House activities throughout the season, they will not be eligible to compete for the grand prize.
Sunday’s live show also marked the end of the Ladies-versus-Gentlemen format that defined the opening weeks of the competition. With the teams officially dissolved, the housemates will now compete as individuals.
Biggie also unveiled this week’s wager task, Game On, challenging the housemates to define the identity of Season 11. Through a creative presentation incorporating elements such as a logo, slogan, song, artwork and props, the housemates have been tasked with capturing what they believe this edition of Big Brother Naija should stand for and how they want it to be remembered.
The excitement continues today with the second Head of House Challenge at 2:00 p.m., where housemates will once again battle for power in the House. This will be followed by this week’s nomination show at 7:00 p.m., when viewers will find out who will become the first set of housemates to face possible eviction.
With Flora and Aikou’s fate in the House secured till the last day and the housemates now playing as individuals, the stakes have never been higher as the battle for the grand prize gathers momentum.
Viewers can enjoy the 24/7 BBNaija Season 11 experience on DStv and GOtv, or stream every episode live on DStv Stream and GOtv Stream.
