Priscilla Ojo Fires Back at Critics Over Repeating Shoes: “My Life Will Go However I Want It To”
Nigerian influencer and entrepreneur Priscilla Ojo Mkambala, daughter of Nollywood star Iyabo Ojo, has clapped back at online critics who questioned her for wearing the same shoes twice.
The new mum recently attended an event in a stunning blue dress paired with matching blue heels, but some of her followers were quick to point out that she had worn the same shoes months earlier — at her own wedding reception.
Unbothered by the remarks, Priscilla took to social media to address the issue head-on.
“My generation girls are living in delusion, thinking I should only wear Jimmy Choos once just because my fanbase is bigger now,” she wrote.
She went on to share a deeper reflection about the pressure social media places on young women.
“This exact reason is why many young girls feel pressured by social media to fit an unrealistic standard. 'I need to be a big girl,' but often they lack the financial means to support that lifestyle,” she said.
“Note: My life will go however I want it to go. As long as my family, friends, and honest fans are happy, every other person’s opinion is just noise.”
Opinion: Priscilla’s Confidence Sends a Powerful Message in a World Obsessed with Image
In an era where social media dictates how people should dress, act, or even think, Priscilla Ojo’s response feels refreshing and necessary. Her words cut through the façade that perfection equals happiness — a myth that continues to drive insecurity among many young people.
It’s ironic that something as trivial as repeating an outfit can spark online debate, especially when sustainability and financial wisdom are qualities worth celebrating. By boldly addressing the criticism, Priscilla is not just defending herself — she’s making a statement: luxury isn’t about excess; it’s about confidence, comfort, and authenticity.
There’s a lesson here for the “Instagram generation” — you don’t need a new pair of shoes to walk in your truth. Sometimes, the real power lies in wearing what you love, again and again, without apology.
