Charles Inojie Calls Mr Ibu  ‘Indomitable Humorist’ After Visiting Him In Hospital…Wife, Son In ‘Narrative Battle’ Over His Bank Account

 A popular  actor, Charles Inojie, on Monday,  disclosed what his experience was during  his visit to Mr John Okafor, popularly  called Mr. Ibu at the hospital where he  is receiving medical attention,   the  comic actor has frequented hospital since March 2022 .

He is said to be recuperating after undergoing seven surgeries, including the amputation of one of his legs.

Charles Inojie  in a post on social media on Monday  titled ‘MR IBU… THE INDOMITABLE HUMORIST! said  the comic actor made the atmosphere lively despite his challenging health condition.

‘I never thought I could ever be able to relate this chapter of my encounter with Mr Ibu on his sick bed because I had this funny feeling that it had the potential of making light of a very dire situation as his condition presented.

 I walked into his private ward in the ICU in the company of Chinyere Wilfred at whose behest we made the journey to Ever Care where he is being treated. We had just finished from a set, and she suggested that we take the opportunity to visit Ibu. With us were Jasmine, Mrs Ibu, and a woman I believe is her friend.

 From one joke to the other, Ibu literally entertained us. For a moment, I peered into his eyes as if searching for the secret of his willpower, and again, he leveled me out.

‘IBU: ‘You dey pity for me? No fear, the doctor say I go fit still use the leg later, even though some betta-betta meat don commot for the leg’.

You could never stop wondering where he got the strength under such agonizing pain to exude such positive energy so effortlessly.
Then came the moment. I picked his hands from his sides and held them tightly as I muttered, ‘Let’s pray.’

‘We gazed intently at each other and connected on the fading highways of nostalgia, and upon the instance, I felt a mad rush of hot tears welling up beneath my quivering eyelids. I quickly turned away for fear my animal weakness was threatening to have the better of me, but too late. Ibu was crying, too!

I left his ward with one of life’s vital lessons running through my mind… Whoever can muster the willpower to survive in the face of anguish and life-threatening pain can defeat death even in the fiercest battle. May God Almighty grant Ibu a speedy recovery’ he wrote.

In the meanwhile,  Daniel, the second son  of  Mr Ibu, has debunked claims by Stella Okafor, the actor’s wife, that Jasmine, his adopted child, has taken control of his bank account.

 Recall that Stella  had  in an  Instagram post on Sunday alleged that Jasmine has taken  control of the bank account where money  is donated  to support the ailing actor by well-meaning Nigerians.

‘I do not have access to the main Access bank account where people make donations. It is being secretly controlled by Jazmine yet she is cooking up all kinds of lies and propaganda against me to keep absolute control of that account. How she manipulated her way and took control of that account is a story for another day’ she wrote.

 ‘I do not want to be involved with the online drama, at least not yet. I am more concerned about Daddy’s well-being’ Jasmine  however submitted while suggesting  that  Daniel Okafor should be contacted for clarification.

‘My name is Daniel Okafor; I am John Okafor’s second son.

There is no truth in what Stella Maris has been sharing online. Jasmine does not have access to that account; I have access to it. I am the signatory to the account and my father’s next of kin’ Daniel later submitted-Team@orientactualmags.com
