The actress and Actors Guild of Nigeria president was involved in a car accident in 2006 which led to the death of a medical doctor. She hit his car along the Lekki/Epe Expressway in Lagos. She was sentenced to five years imprisonment for manslaughter in 2009 but only spent a few months there. She came out of prison a completely changed woman, bidding farewell to alcohol,
cigarettes and partying. The single mother of three who is now a born again
Christian is setting up a foundation to
cater for the welfare of families of accident victims. Ibinabo explains:
“I do have a foundation which I’m setting up. In 2006, I had an
accident and a medical doctor, Mr. Suraj Giwa died in the process. A
lot of things went wrong, I was sent to jail because of the accident.
It is quite painful, it’s taking me this long because I needed to
find myself again. The foundation is going to be for the families of
accident victims. I’m going to get people to talk to them and to heal
their wounds. What I went through, I was healed by the grace of God.”
Oh that is good, thank God for you

ReplyDeleteOlodo it is lately not the crap you wrote!
DeleteNice concept. Go girl.
ReplyDeleteBless her. No one is perfect and in Nigeria such accidents yet painful do not really lead to imprisonment in jail. I personally know someone who hit a man that died, no prison time though he was locked up and had to pay through his nose for the deceased burial and family upkeep.
ReplyDeleteIt is well Ibinabo, i heard Dr's family gave you a tough time but its a good thing you are trying to make it up in a good way...
@ Ezennaya Ngozi, go collect 'first to comment' prize for inside ocean... Smh for u!

ReplyDeleteWhy dd she spend jst a few months?? Dz our 9jiria!
ReplyDeleteEeeyyyyaaa dats so gud, God bless u as u embark on this project
ReplyDeleteWow a gud move!!! Buh its kinda vague 'accidents victims'...
ReplyDeleteI dont get it. She killed the Dr with her reckless driving. How come she is forming victim? Anyway we are tired of stupid foundations. Ibinabo when u make money, you can set up foundation. In Nigeria, Foundation is for begging money
ReplyDeleteExactly my thought! She's broke, looting on her mind.
DeleteNgozi pls if u don't have anything to say den close up,u can b fighting for 1st to comment in situation like dis.. What have u achieved since u r d first to comment?..Abeg is there an award for that?
ReplyDeletethoughtful of her
ReplyDeletenice of her, though it doesn't bring back d lost life but it"ll go a long way in saving others
ReplyDeleteIt is quite painful, it’s taking me this long because I needed to find myself again. The foundation is going to be for the families of accident victims. I’m going to get people to talk to them and to heal their wounds. What I went through, I was healed by the grace of God.”
ReplyDeleteI applaud what she is trying to do, but pls young lady you are and were not the victim of that accident. Dr's Giwa and his family are the victims. So I take exception to the last paragraph particularly the last sentence.......what I went through, I was healed by the grace of God!!!vvv insensitive
Good.
ReplyDeleteVery good of her ilike it.
ReplyDeleteWhat has she done to fix the family she ruined? I don't care what she's going through cos they are still going through shit cos of the shitty life she lived!
ReplyDeleteShud she resurrect the dead?...she has moved on wether u lyk it or not...n very successful now.
DeleteSory u not and wats this sh*t abt ist to coment anyway
ReplyDelete@ Ezennaye,bia dis girl or lady can't u̶̲̥̅̊ see u̶̲̥̅̊ re not d first to comment? is Linda going to buy u̶̲̥̅̊ a car or take u to dubia for being d first to comment? Hmmmmm
ReplyDeleteThat's right. Truly a way to serve the society in her little contribution and perhaps to console her hearts from the memories of her accident by doing something great. After all, it wasn't intentional.
ReplyDeleteNice 1.
ReplyDeleteInfo is power, thought she was jailed for drug trfficking! Nice try. @u wat can she do to console d family?? Only God can nd i pray u dnt find urself in such situation.
ReplyDeleteG̶̲̥̅U̶̲̥̅̊ϑ more grease to ur elbow

ReplyDeleteAwwww nice one dou. Hp it Will be for real n nt to get publicity
ReplyDeleteNice 1 Madam, may God see U̶̲̥̅̊ thru
ReplyDeleteKudus what she did was very bad but she is much better than I thought, and obviously has a conscience .i commended. U Ibinabo .
ReplyDeleteOlodo...it is commend not commended.
DeleteReally thoughtful, we need philanthropists.
ReplyDeleteAbout this first to comment ish, aft being d first has it changed ur financial status? #raised brows#
~Amyyy
Nice
ReplyDelete"....What I went through...."!So what could you have gone through? Compared to what his widow and kids went through and are going to go through for the rest of their lives miss thing? You must really think "what I went through..." Is enough penance for what you 'did'! So this foundation is for those who take precious lives while living irresponsibly? Isn't that what it'll mean if it's about what you went through? Amazing! I don't have a name for your kind.
ReplyDeleteThat is good of you.may God reward u.
ReplyDeleteThis goes out to everyone who has one shit or the other to say about her... Who made u guys judge over her, she's now a born again and God gave a second chance to make things right, the only way she can give back to the society that she once wronged is by opening a foundation and she, saying she went tru a lot wen she killed someone, she meant if she could have gone tru those pains she wonder what pains the doctor's family will be going tru n for her it was God's mercy that kept her all tru so pls stop critising every good effort someone wants to do. What have u too done to inpact ur society? Let's just pray she keep up to her promises not start wishing her all sort of things. Ask yourself if she were to be your sister or brother who had lived the life she onced lived who I have wished for her to be locked up in jail for life? Let's learn to love everyone equally. God bless u all.
ReplyDeleteChange is good and bad. We all learn the hard way or the easy way. She leaned the hard way. I think she derserves a second chance at making things better for others. I know the doctor didn't get a second chsace, but that is for God's jugdement. Let us give her s second chance because everything happens for a reason.
ReplyDeleteNice move Ibi,those of u condemning her shud stop it,she had made dat mistake in d past, noting can change it nd she gats 2 move on,wat do u want her 2 do if nt settin up a foundation like ds, abeg leave d poor woman alone joor..................Lydiaabby
