Nollywood veteran and cultural icon, Fem Branch, has bounced back online after a brief digital blackout caused by a hacking attempt on his social media account.
The beloved actor, known for his commanding presence and regal delivery, made his return with a heartfelt post:
“So some criminal elements tried to hack and steal my account, which is why I have not posted since the Ojude Oba Festival — but God pass them. Thanks to one of my able brothers, I have recovered my account. Thanks to all who reached out with concern, I appreciate you all. Igi ewedu o ni wo pa wa oo.”

The Yoruba expression, meaning “May the jute leaf tree never fall on us,” is a poetic way of saying evil shall not prevail, a fitting tone for an actor deeply rooted in cultural storytelling and spiritual depth.
Fem Branch recently made waves for his compelling role in the epic historical drama “House of Gaa”, where he portrayed a noble king grappling with betrayal and mystical powers in ancient Oyo Empire. His performance, laced with intensity and royal gravitas, reminded audiences why he remains one of Nigeria’s most respected thespians.
Just days before the hack, the actor stole hearts at the iconic Ojude Oba Festival, dazzling in full regal attire during the cultural parade. The festival, a celebration of heritage and royalty in Ijebuland, saw Branch blending modern fame with deep-rooted tradition, embodying what it means to be both a screen legend and a cultural custodian.
As he reclaims his digital space, Fem Branch stands tall, unshaken, unbothered, and fully back to inspiring with every post.
Welcome back, King.
