Jasmine: Why I’m still in touch with Mr Ibu’s family
Jasmine Okekeagwu, the adopted daughter of late actor, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr Ibu, has revealed that she is still in touch with the family of the deceased.
Despite the drama that ensued between Jasmine and Ibu’s family during the actor’s last days and after his demise, she noted that her dealings with the family are a form of charity.
In a recent interview, she said, “I won’t say I cut ties with them totally. I am just focused on myself, and saving myself from a lot of trouble.
“It is what I do. Even the help I rendered to them (Ibu family) is more like charity because when someone who is not related to one stands in for years to make sure that all is good, it is charity. But, they did not understand my intention from the beginning, because they only thought of what I could offer and what they could get from me. Now, I feel it is better to help people that don’t have anything to offer. That is where the real blessing is.”
“I have been doing this for a long time, even when I was with daddy (Mr Ibu). Since 2020, I have been doing personal charity. While growing up, I saw my mother helping people, and it was from there that my love for humanity grew,” the actress added.
