Nollywood actress Ibinabo Fiberesima has sparked online discussions after sharing a surprising link-up with Agatha Amata, the ex-wife of her former partner, Nollywood actor Fred Amata.
The two women, who both share a history with the actor, appeared united in a recent Instagram post that caught the attention of fans and critics alike.
Taking to her social media, Ibinabo shared a photo of herself with Agatha, accompanied by Peter Okoye’s song Winning in the background, with lyrics that emphasized positivity over hate. In her caption, Ibinabo praised their strength, calling them “strong women” and encouraging Agatha to “keep winning.”
“Strong women we are. @agathamata Let’s keep winning sis,” she wrote.
A Drama-Filled Background
This unexpected show of unity comes just days after Fred Amata called out Agatha online, accusing her of giving their daughter, Stephanie, away in marriage without his consent. Fred’s comments reignited discussions about his past relationships, with netizens pointing out his alleged affair with Ibinabo during his marriage to Agatha.
Agatha and Fred, who parted ways in 2005, share two children, Oreva and Stephanie.
In an earlier interview, Agatha revealed that the breakup affected her deeply but acknowledged that their marriage was not working. She emphasized the importance of maintaining a happy co-parenting relationship for the sake of their children, despite the challenges.
After his divorce, Fred moved on with Ibinabo, and the pair share a daughter. While rumors of their reconciliation circulated after they appeared together at Omotola Jalade Ekeinde’s birthday celebration, Ibinabo debunked them, stating that their relationship remains strictly cordial.
Social Media Reactions
The link-up between Ibinabo and Agatha has drawn mixed reactions online, with many applauding the women for moving past their shared history with Fred. Some netizens, however, did not hold back in expressing their opinions:
Kam Tokene: “She finally realized that all the man told her about his ex-wife were all false.”
Mohh Brothers: “This only happens when you realize you snatched nonsense.”
Queen Snowhenry: “This only happens when the man has shown both shege banza.”
Bemma12300: “Main wife and side chick don become friends while the wandering prick is nowhere to be found.”
Ashafazhion: “When she is no longer with the man, the hate disappears. Congrats, ladies, na him lose.”
The post has reignited conversations around co-parenting, failed marriages, and the dynamics of relationships in the Nollywood spotlight. For now, Ibinabo and Agatha’s solidarity seems to be a lesson in moving forward and finding strength beyond shared challenges.
