Outrage Online as Lizzy Anjorin Blames Anthony Joshua’s Mother Following Festive Trip Accident.
Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin has stirred widespread reactions on social media after publicly criticizing the mother of British-Nigerian boxing champion, Anthony Joshua, over decisions surrounding his recent visit to Nigeria during the festive season.
In a video that has since gone viral, Anjorin expressed concern over Joshua’s safety, questioning why his mother allegedly allowed him to travel to his hometown rather than ensuring he stayed in what she described as a more secure and upscale area such as Lekki, Ikoyi, or Banana Island.
According to the actress, Joshua’s status as a global sports icon should have warranted extra precautions. She argued that a “reasonable mother,” in her words, would have ensured her son stayed in an environment perceived to be safer and more controlled, especially during a high-profile visit in the festive period when travel risks are often heightened.
“Anthony Joshua’s mother is to blame,” Anjorin said in the clip. “She didn’t put her son in a better place like Lekki or Ikoyi. She watched him go back to his village for the festivities. What reasonable mother would allow that? Why couldn’t she place him somewhere like Ikoyi or Banana Island?”
Anjorin’s comments followed reports of a serious road accident involving Anthony Joshua during his stay in Nigeria. The incident reportedly occurred along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and claimed the lives of two of his close associates. Joshua himself was said to have sustained minor injuries and is reportedly in stable condition.
The tragic accident has since drawn national attention, not only because of Joshua’s celebrity status but also due to ongoing concerns about road safety and travel risks across major highways in the country.
Following Anjorin’s remarks, social media platforms have been flooded with mixed reactions. While some users agreed with her stance, arguing that high-profile individuals should take extra security measures when visiting Nigeria, others criticized her comments as insensitive and unfair, especially considering the loss of lives involved.
Several commentators also pointed out that Anthony Joshua is an adult capable of making his own decisions, stressing that blaming his mother for his travel choices was unnecessary. Others accused the actress of using the tragedy to gain attention online.
Despite the backlash, the video continues to circulate widely, fueling discussions around parental responsibility, celebrity safety, and the broader issue of infrastructure and security challenges faced by travelers in Nigeria.
As of the time of this report, neither Anthony Joshua nor his family has responded publicly to Lizzy Anjorin’s comments.
