Comic actor, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr. Ibu, has revealed that he fights homosexuality because it is killing the spirit in the industry.Speaking in an interview with Vanguard, the 54 years old actor talked on his personal encounter with a homosexuality and the history behind the name Ibu.
“If you go to my page on Facebook, I fight vehemently against homosexuals; both gays and lesbians because these are viruses in the industry that kill the spirit. It is not good at all. There is no harassment as I speak to you; the harassment is within same sexes. Men harass themselves, and women harass themselves, so they are wonderfully preparing themselves for the devil, and I tell you, they will all go to hell.
“The man that approached me will never come close to me again in his life because I humiliated him publicly. I called him out, and shouted his name everywhere. Besides, if it was by looks, nobody would approach me because I’m not fine,” he said.
On his popular screen name, Mr Ibu, he said: “Ibu has been my name
from childhood. My grandfather bore the name too and I took after him
because as I was growing up, they used to call me all his names. On how I
got the name in a movie, somebody was actually writing a script that I
was going to act in. He was using my name as a character in it and at
the end of the day, they titled the film ‘John Ibu Okafor’. It took me
time to change it from Mr. John Ibu to John Okafor; later I left
The comic character is happily married to Stella Maris Okafor, whom he said is also into acting. Their married is blessed with 4 children out of which the first child is married and has two kids. Now, Mr. Ibu is a grandfather.
