Tolani Oreniyi has reacted strongly to social media comparisons involving herself and Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, questioning why people continue to compare the two women.
In a statement circulating online and attributed to Tolani Oreniyi, she appeared to dismiss the level of admiration and attention Iyabo Ojo receives on social media while making pointed comments about the actress's relationship history.
Tolani questioned how someone like Paulo Okoye could allegedly "send Iyabo Ojo away," using the development to argue that social media users may have exaggerated the actress's perceived value and status.
Tolani Oreniyi: "It is you people on social media"
According to the statement attributed to her, Tolani suggested that it is social media users who have continued to portray Iyabo Ojo as being more highly regarded than she believes she is.
She reportedly said:
"It is you people on social media that keep rating her so highly."
Tolani also brought up her own experience with marriage and relationships, comparing it with what she described as Iyabo Ojo's relationship history.
"Why exactly are you people comparing me with Iyabo Ojo?"
The major point of Tolani's reaction appeared to be her objection to being compared with the Nollywood actress.
She reportedly stated that Iyabo Ojo has never remained in a relationship or marriage for three complete years, while she claimed to have been married for more than 20 years.
She therefore questioned why social media users would place both women in the same comparison.
"So why exactly are you people comparing me with Iyabo Ojo?"
The statement has generated interest because of the direct manner in which Tolani addressed those making the comparison.
Tolani threatens to speak about Iyabo Ojo
Tolani Oreniyi further issued a warning to people she accused of coming for her again.
According to the statement circulating online, she said that if the comparisons and attacks continued, she would respond by discussing Iyabo Ojo directly.
"If you people dare come for me again, I will come for Iyabo Ojo straight and I have a lot to say about her."
The statement has consequently sparked curiosity among social media users about what Tolani may reveal if the situation escalates.
What is the relationship between Iyabo Ojo and Paulo?
Iyabo Ojo has been publicly linked romantically with music executive and businessman Paul Okoye, popularly known as Paulo.
The actress has previously spoken about their relationship and explained that she and Paulo were comfortable with their decision not to get married. In a 2023 interview, Ojo said they both viewed marriage as "overrated."
In another interview reported in 2025, Iyabo reiterated that she and Paulo were in a committed relationship but did not want marriage. She also explained that their busy lifestyles and respect for personal space worked for them.
This background is important because Tolani's latest remarks appear to have brought the private and public aspects of Iyabo Ojo's relationship into the ongoing social-media conversation.
Social Media Reactions
The comments have the potential to generate further reactions from fans and followers of the personalities involved, particularly because Tolani did not merely reject the comparison but also hinted that she has more information about Iyabo Ojo that she could reveal.
For now, however, the claims attributed to Tolani should be treated as her statements and opinions, rather than independently established facts.
Whether she will eventually disclose the information she referenced remains to be seen.
Thoughts
The latest controversy highlights once again how quickly celebrity relationships and personal comments can become major talking points on Nigerian social media.
Tolani Oreniyi's remarks have drawn attention largely because of her direct comparison between herself and Iyabo Ojo, her reference to her long-term marriage, and her warning that she could speak openly about the actress if further attacks continue.
As reactions continue, social media users will likely be watching to see whether Tolani Oreniyi provides further clarification or reveals the information she claimed to have about Iyabo Ojo.
