Last year, comedian Oga Obinna found himself at the center of controversy after rumors surfaced that he was being financially supported by a wealthy older woman, often referred to as a “mumama.” The speculation suggested that this benefactor was funding his lavish lifestyle and even played a role in financing his show. However, Obinna chose to remain silent at the time, letting people speculate as he adopted a “time will tell” approach.
Recently, new details emerged, shedding light on the truth behind the allegations. The supposed sponsor was ultimately exposed by her own cousin—the same person who had contributed to spreading the rumors. According to this individual, the woman in question had borrowed a loan of Ksh700,000 but failed to repay it as agreed. In a desperate attempt to recover the money, the cousin reached out to Obinna, believing that his past relationship with the woman would make him more understanding of the situation.
After months of silence, Obinna finally broke his silence and shared shocking details about the ordeal. Taking to Instagram, he revealed that he had suffered deeply from the allegations and the entire situation. He stated that he had been accused of being a “Ben10” and a thief, subjected to character assassination, and had to rebuild his life from scratch after leaving the toxic relationship.
It was later revealed that the so-called sponsor was not a sponsor at all but rather Obinna’s ex-girlfriend. During their time together, he had entrusted her with significant assets, including his house, his V8 vehicle, and a sum of Ksh1.8 million, which was intended to help her settle debts related to the car. Unfortunately, she not only retained all of these but also had accumulated debts amounting to Ksh12 million.
Despite these revelations, the woman has yet to publicly address the situation or issue a statement.
The public reaction to the unfolding drama was intense, with many people expressing admiration for Obinna’s generosity and resilience. Rather than focusing on the controversy, many were struck by his ability to move on peacefully despite the hardships he endured.
Comments flooded social media, with many praising him for his kindness and strength. Some wondered how many men like him existed, while others marveled at the fact that he had left an ex-girlfriend with a luxury car and financial assistance. Many expressed hope that his goodwill would eventually be rewarded.
Through it all, Obinna remained steadfast, proving that he prioritizes his peace of mind over unnecessary conflict. His response not only helped clear his name but also shed light on the complexities of personal relationships and financial trust. The saga has served as a lesson on the importance of setting boundaries and being cautious about whom one entrusts with financial resources.
While the alleged sponsor remains silent, Obinna’s side of the story has resonated with many, reinforcing his image as a resilient and generous individual who, despite hardships, continues to forge his path with dignity.
