A highly emotional video has surfaced online, capturing the heartbreaking moment Yoruba actor Ganiyu Kehinde Morufu, popularly known as Ijoba Lande, was seen kneeling and begging his wife not to leave him, despite previously accusing her of infidelity.
The widely shared footage shows the actor on his knees, pleading in Yoruba while his wife packed her belongings, determined to leave their marital home. His desperate apologies and emotional pleas, however, did not seem to change her stance, as she expressed deep frustration over their ongoing marital issues.
Prior to this, Ijoba Lande had openly accused his wife of cheating with multiple men. In an earlier statement, he alleged that she deliberately provoked him, possibly to trigger a violent reaction from him. However, he firmly maintained that he never physically harmed her.
Despite these allegations, the recent viral video of him begging her to stay has sparked widespread debate and mixed reactions on social media. Many online users have taken to various platforms to express their opinions on the situation, with some questioning the contradictions in his actions and others sympathizing with his emotional breakdown.
Netizens Reactions…
emperorzola said: “Why he con dey spoil the woman say she dey cheat? This is him begging her, and the conversation is not about cheating. Some people can be sore losers.”
DiabloChaze wrote: “The fact that he was begging doesn’t change the point that the wife cheated. Men can be in a cheating relationship and still be willing to work through issues to make things work. This doesn’t mean he isn’t tired of the problems they’re having in their relationship.”
an_omojuwa said: “The first time I saw them together online, I immediately called my wife. It was so obvious that he went above his league. He deserves it, stay in your lane.”
2_Oies commented: “At a point, I felt he was chasing clout with that interview because it was posted on his personal YouTube page. Shey person dey interview hin sef ni?”
This unfolding drama has left many people divided, with some questioning whether Ijoba Lande’s earlier accusations against his wife were truthful or if he was merely attempting to control the narrative. Others believe that his public plea for forgiveness may be a testament to his desire to reconcile and save his marriage despite their struggles.
The video continues to trend across social media platforms, with many users debating whether it is an act of remorse or a calculated attempt to garner sympathy. Some have also criticized the public nature of their marital issues, arguing that such matters should be handled privately rather than being aired online.
As discussions continue, neither Ijoba Lande nor his wife has released an official statement addressing the video or their current marital status. However, with the widespread attention the incident has garnered, many are eager to see how the situation unfolds in the coming days.
