Actor Tenkobo Blasts Mr Ibu’s Widow Over Viral Plea for Help, Makes Fresh Claims About Late Actor’s Estate
Actor Tenkobo Blasts Mr Ibu’s Widow Over Viral Plea for Help, Makes Fresh Claims About Late Actor’s Estate. Nollywood comic actor Fred Ebere, popularly known as Tenkobo, has sparked widespread reactions after publicly criticizing Stella Maris Okafor, the widow of late veteran actor John Okafor, popularly known as Mr Ibu.
The actor reacted to Stella’s recent viral interview in which she appealed for financial assistance, revealing that she was struggling to pay rent, electricity bills, and her children’s school fees. Tenkobo, however, questioned why the late actor’s family was seeking public donations despite claims that Mr Ibu invested heavily during his lifetime.
His comments have reignited discussions about the late actor’s estate and the ongoing family controversies.
Tenkobo Tells Widow to Stop Using Mr Ibu’s Name
In a lengthy video shared on his social media page, Tenkobo urged Stella Maris to stop using Mr Ibu’s name while making public appeals for financial support.
According to him, constantly mentioning the late actor while asking Nigerians for assistance damages the legendary comedian’s legacy.
The comic actor argued that instead of repeatedly seeking help from the public, Stella should focus on building a source of income for herself.
He questioned why she appeared to rely solely on Mr Ibu’s name after his passing, insisting that people should be encouraged to work regardless of their circumstances.
Questions Raised Over Mr Ibu’s Properties
One of the major issues raised by Tenkobo involved Mr Ibu’s alleged investments before his death.
The actor claimed that the late Nollywood star made wise financial decisions and invested in landed properties during his successful acting career.
He questioned what eventually happened to those assets and who benefited from them after Mr Ibu passed away.
According to Tenkobo, if the actor truly owned several properties, Nigerians deserve answers regarding their current status rather than repeated appeals for financial assistance.
Alleges Family Sold Valuable Assets
Tenkobo went further by alleging that some of the late actor’s properties had already been sold.
He questioned how the proceeds from those alleged sales were utilized and why the family was still experiencing financial hardship if such assets existed.
Although he did not provide documentary evidence for the claims, his remarks quickly attracted attention online and fueled fresh debates surrounding Mr Ibu’s estate.
The allegations have added another chapter to the controversies that have surrounded the actor’s family since his death.
Conversation With Mr Ibu’s Son
The comic actor also disclosed that he recently spoke with Mr Ibu’s first son, Valentine Okafor.
According to Tenkobo, the conversation became emotional after they discussed the family’s current situation.
He explained that the phone call influenced his decision to address the matter publicly, saying he felt compelled to defend the late actor’s reputation.
His comments suggested that there were deeper issues within the family that had not been fully disclosed to the public.
Disputes Claims About Mr Ibu’s Children
During the video, Tenkobo also challenged reports suggesting Chelsea was Mr Ibu’s only daughter.
He insisted that the late actor had several children and mentioned that one of his older daughters participated prominently during the burial ceremony.
According to him, the public narrative surrounding Mr Ibu’s family does not accurately reflect the full picture.
His statement has prompted renewed interest in the late actor’s family structure and inheritance issues.

Background to Stella’s Viral Appeal
Tenkobo’s reaction followed Stella Maris’ emotional interview, where she revealed that life had become extremely difficult since Mr Ibu’s passing.
She explained that financial challenges had forced her children out of school because she could no longer afford their tuition fees.
She also disclosed that paying rent and utility bills had become increasingly difficult, leading her to seek assistance from kindhearted Nigerians.
The interview generated sympathy from many members of the public while also attracting criticism from others.
