“Stop Posting Priscilla Online” — Esabod Drags Iyabo Ojo, Cites Funke Akindele’s Parenting Style

Controversial blogger and social commentator Esabod has sparked fresh debate on celebrity parenting after publicly calling out Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo for consistently posting her daughter, Priscilla Ojo, on social media. In a sharp critique that has set the internet ablaze, Esabod argued that “even wealthier celebrities like Funke Akindele don’t show their kids online,” warning Iyabo to exercise more caution.

Esabod’s comment comes in response to recent posts by Iyabo Ojo celebrating her daughter’s fashion achievements and lifestyle moments — something the actress has long been known for. But while fans often praise the mother-daughter bond they display online, Esabod insists the constant publicity could be a double-edged sword.

“Stop posting Priscilla on social media!” she warned in a viral video. “Protect your child. Learn from Funke Akindele — a woman with wealth and fame, yet you will never see her kids online. There is wisdom in that.”

The statement immediately triggered reactions from fans and industry observers. While some agreed with Esabod, citing issues of cyberbullying, overexposure, and spiritual concerns, others defended Iyabo’s decision to publicly support her daughter’s brand and influencer career.

Priscilla, a social media influencer and fashion entrepreneur in her own right, boasts over a million followers on Instagram and has signed endorsement deals with top fashion and skincare brands. Many argue that her public presence is part of her professional identity — and Iyabo’s promotion of her is nothing more than a supportive mother championing her daughter’s success.

However, Esabod's mention of Funke Akindele, who famously keeps her children out of the public eye, has reignited the longstanding conversation about privacy, fame, and parenting in the digital age. Funke, despite being one of Nigeria’s highest-grossing movie producers and most followed celebrities, has never revealed the faces of her twin sons — a choice often praised as “wise” and “protective.”

Iyabo Ojo is yet to respond directly to Esabod’s remarks, but given her history of confronting critics, many expect fireworks if she chooses to break her silence.

As the conversation unfolds, it reflects deeper questions in Nigerian celebrity culture — how much exposure is too much, especially when it comes to children of the rich and famous? And where does one draw the line between brand building and overexposure?

Whether Esabod is right or just stirring the pot, one thing is clear: in the age of social media, parenting decisions are no longer private — they are headlines.
