Nollywood actress Kudirat Ogunnro, popularly known as Semilore Pweety, recently celebrated a personal milestone with a heartfelt moment shared with her godmother, Iyabo Ojo. After buying a new car, Kudirat called Iyabo to pray for her, and the veteran actress joyfully offered her blessings.
In an emotional post, Kudirat expressed gratitude not only to her godmother but also to God for her journey so far. “Slow and steady wins the race. Contentment is everything — we all have different journeys and different destinies. The Lord has been so good to me, and I’m forever grateful,” she wrote. She added, “My beautiful Glamma, @iyaboojofespris, God bless you endlessly, ma. Much love and a big amen to all your prayers over my life.”
Kudirat’s life has been marked by moments of generosity and milestones. Last year, she unveiled her new home, reflecting on her journey from struggles to having her sanctuary. In December 2024, she surprised her mother with a brand-new house, a moment she captured on Instagram and credited to God, celebrating the milestone with her family.
The bond between Kudirat and Iyabo Ojo runs deep. Iyabo has often supported Kudirat both personally and professionally. During Iyabo’s daughter Priscilla’s wedding, she praised Kudirat for the role she played in raising her children, recalling how Kudirat would care for them while Iyabo worked on movie sets. The two have also shared prayers for one another, including for Priscilla’s future twins.
Their relationship has weathered challenges too. In 2023, a brief online spat involving Iyabo brought attention to the depth of their connection, with Iyabo highlighting how she took Kudirat in, paid her child’s school fees, and helped launch her into the movie industry. Kudirat chose to stay silent publicly, but the duo reconciled and were later seen together paying respects to Fuji singer Pasuma after his mother’s passing.
From heartfelt prayers over a new car to shared family milestones, the closeness between Iyabo Ojo and Kudirat Ogunnro remains a testament to mentorship, care, and enduring friendship in Nollywood.
