Young Nigerian actress Ifedi Sharon has come forward with a tearful apology to senior colleague Ruby Ojiakor and her fans, after being fiercely criticized over her action for what many saw as a sign of disrespect.
Orjiakor, who recently began her marital journey with actor Moc Madu in a vibrant traditional ceremony, has been on a heartfelt mission, personally delivering her white wedding party outfits to colleagues who missed her big day.
When she arrived at Sharon’s doorstep, the young actress shared a clip of the tender moment online, capturing smiles, hugs, and the warmth of celebration.
But what should have been a sweet gesture quickly soured. Sharon’s caption, according to Ruby’s fans, lacked the honorifics expected in Nigerian culture, where respect is a currency deeply valued.
She addressed Ruby by name alone, a misstep seen by many as a glaring disregard for age and status.
The response was swift and unforgiving. Critics sharpened their words, accused Sharon of arrogance.

Her voice trembled as she stressed that it was a simple, honest mistake, one cemented by the unforgiving nature of reels, which could not be edited.
Through the veil of her tears, Sharon revealed she had personally reached out to Ruby Ojiakor, who, with a gracious heart, took no offense and reassured her with kindness.
