Nollywood actress Ronke Anthony Ojo, better known as Ronke Oshodi Oke, took to social media today to celebrate her daughter’s birthday. The joyous occasion comes just weeks after a harrowing incident involving alleged poisoning at the young woman’s university, highlighting the resilience of both mother and daughter in the face of adversity.
As the sun rose over Lagos this morning, Ronke Oshodi Oke’s Instagram page lit up with a series of heartwarming photos featuring her daughter, affectionately known as Jum Jum. The images captured tender moments between the pair, offering a glimpse into their close-knit relationship.
Another year to celebrate my daughter Jum Jum @dija_of_nigeria,” Ronke wrote, her words brimming with emotion. “I love you more than words can express, Okikíola Olajumoke Olajuwon! Happy Birthday My Daughter.
The actress’s post quickly garnered thousands of likes and comments from fans and fellow Nollywood stars, all joining in to wish Jum Jum a happy birthday.
While today’s celebration was filled with joy, it’s impossible to ignore the recent events that have cast a shadow over the family. Just weeks ago, Ronke Oshodi Oke found herself in the middle of every parent’s nightmare when she received a distressing call in the early hours of the morning.
“I got a call at 3:45 am telling me my daughter was in the hospital because she drank bleach,” Ronke recounted in an exclusive interview with our reporter. “When I arrived, I found her in tears and visibly shaken. It was heartbreaking.”
According to Ronke, the circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear. However, she strongly suspects foul play, possibly involving her daughter’s friends or roommates at the university.
I bought my daughter a non-transparent water bottle, which she takes to school and drinks from with a straw,” Ronke explained, her voice tinged with a mix of anger and concern. Somehow, someone managed to tamper with it. We’re still trying to piece together exactly what happened.”
While Ronke has not disclosed the name of the institution, her public statements have put universities across Nigeria on high alert. Campus safety experts we spoke to emphasized the need for increased vigilance and stricter security measures in dormitories.
Dr. Oluwaseun Adebayo, a campus security consultant, told us, “This incident highlights the importance of comprehensive safety protocols in our universities. It’s not just about external threats; we need to address potential dangers within the student community as well.
In a video that has since gone viral, Ronke Oshodi Oke issued a stern warning to her daughter’s university. “Don’t mess with my kids,” she declared, her eyes flashing with determination. “I won’t take it lightly if there’s a reoccurrence.”
The actress’s words have resonated with parents across Nigeria, many of whom have expressed similar concerns about their children’s safety while away at school.
The incident and its aftermath have sent shockwaves through the Nollywood community. Several prominent actors and directors have spoken out in support of Ronke and her daughter.
What happened to Ronke’s daughter could happen to any of our children,” said veteran actor Kunle Adegbite. It’s a wake-up call for all of us to be more vigilant and to demand better safety measures from our educational institutions.
Despite the recent scare, Jum Jum remains committed to her studies and her dreams for the future. Friends describe her as a determined young woman with a passion for both academics and the arts.
Jum Jum has always been a fighter,” said childhood friend Aisha Balogun. “This experience has only made her stronger. I have no doubt she’ll go on to do great things.”
As the sun sets on this eventful day in Lagos, the story of Ronke Oshodi Oke and her daughter serves as a powerful reminder of the bonds that tie us together and the strength we find in times of adversity. It’s a story that resonates far beyond the glitz and glamour of Nollywood, touching the hearts of parents and children across Nigeria and beyond.
