The disagreement began when Okeowo posted a promotional video on Instagram for a landed property and, in her caption, indicated the price as ₦50 million. Followers were quick to point out that another actress, Biola Bayo, had recently advertised the same property with a ₦40 million price tag, prompting questions and corrections in the comments. Amid the back-and-forth, a man believed to work in the movie industry commented beneath Okeowo’s post, calling her a “thief agent.”
Okeowo reacted angrily to the label, replying on her page with a blistering message directed at the commenter. In her response she accused him of making a baseless allegation about ownership and challenged him to prove the claim, writing that she would hold him up as an example if he could not substantiate the charge. The exchange quickly drew attention from fans and industry watchers, with supporters and detractors weighing in across social platforms.
Observers say the episode highlights how rapidly simple errors or mismatched listings can spiral into reputational disputes online, particularly when public figures and colleagues are involved. Legal and professional observers note that allegations of theft or dishonesty, even when posted on social media, can carry serious consequences for both the accuser and the accused — from public backlash to possible defamation claims.
For now, the matter appears contained to the comment thread, though it underscores the fragile mix of commerce, celebrity, and social media in Nollywood’s promotional landscape. Fans continue to follow both actresses’ feeds for any further developments or clarifications.
