Nigerian actress Iyabo Ojo has come under public scrutiny following remarks made by Prophet Helen Tomwest, who addressed aspects of the actress’s lifestyle.
The comments surfaced after videos went viral showing the Nollywood star engaged in intense prayer sessions for her daughter, Priscilla Ojo, during her wedding and baby shower in Canada.
According to the cleric, Iyabo Ojo possesses the spirit of an intercessor but must align her actions with her Christian faith for her prayers to yield greater results. Prophet Tomwest emphasized that living a righteous life is crucial for effective spiritual intercession, urging the actress to move beyond mere verbal declarations of faith.
The founder of Helen Tomwest Ministries also issued a stern warning regarding Ojo’s personal life. She advised the movie star to maintain moral discipline and avoid defiling her marital bed, adding that failure to do so might hinder her chances of marriage in the future.
Sharing the video online, the cleric wrote:
“LET YOUR PRAYER LIFE BACK UP YOUR ACTIONS. Do not defile the bed and still pray with a force.”

@lillianlartey:”Stop judging others….sinners judging other sinners differently.”
@zivworld_beddings:”Oya go and stop God from answering her prayers.”
@official_ladygoldii:”You see God , I love the fact that he’s not man to go round asking people who to bless, because if it were so, some of us would never experience his mercy or kindness because nobody will recommend us to him. God ℹ thank you for blessing man based on your own will and mercy 🙏.”
@ekylov23″That the prayer of a mother even if she is the worse sinner God must honor that prayer.”
@jenyfah_queen”You have to be a real Christian to understand what she is saying. To those comfortable in the flesh, She is Judging, To those who are fighting their flesh daily, She is preaching. Stop being a Lukewarm Christian and get right with God. God loves you but doesn’t want you to keep messing around. Read your bibles and know the word of God!”
@queen_kemiii said:”God said I will bless whom I will bless and Curse whom I will curse, why not leave God to do his work and stop being the judge of that.”
@bambz_agu:”Auntie ma God show’s mercy to those whom he wants to show mercy…. Not of him that willeth or runneth but God who showeth mercy…. Dont do the work for him, he is the only one who sees and know our hearts.”
@tender4heart:”I disagree with you, Prophetess. We do not operate on the level of grace and don’t be surprised that God answers her prayers faster than those self acclaimed believers… Please preach the undiluted word of God, preach love and embrace true Christianity. Emulate Christ in preaching the gospel by drawing sinners close to God not condemning them.”
@thriftwithsonmakiddies:”The mercy of God will prevail and overule every judgment. Christ has paid it. A mother praying for her daughter should not be judged. Our righteousness is like a filty rag in God’s presence. If God has to judge us or bless us based on who we are, no one will be blessed. God doesn’t look through us, but he looks through us through Jesus. It would have been better if you sent her a message or DM rather than this. This is not what Christ preaches.”
@anietie0610:”Please take down her picture from your page , before they take you to court.”
@amaradazz2:”God will have mercy to whom he will have mercy …Our Grace are different…🙌
