Rewritten 13 November 2026. Earlier versions of this page mixed up Jasmine Okafor with an actress described as a different person, included unverified personal claims, and carried a correction note that was itself wrong. This version keeps only what news reports support.
Quick answer: Jasmine Okafor, whose full name is reported as Chioma Jasmine Okafor, is a Nigerian social media content creator and the adopted daughter of Nollywood comic actor John Okafor, known as Mr. Ibu. She has said Mr. Ibu adopted her after her biological father died. In May 2023, Nollywood actor Ken Erics proposed to her in a video she shared on Instagram. Mr. Ibu died on 2 March 2024.
Who is Jasmine Okafor?
Jasmine Okafor is a content creator who posts on TikTok and Instagram. Most public interest in her comes from her family connection to John Okafor (Mr. Ibu), one of Nollywood’s best-known comic actors. Reports give her full name as Chioma Jasmine Okafor, which is why both “Jasmine Okafor” and “Chioma Okafor” appear in searches about her. Other Nigerian actresses also use the name Chioma Okafor, so check which person a report is about.
Relationship to Mr. Ibu
In a video reported by Premium Times, Jasmine said that Mr. Ibu adopted her as his daughter after her biological father died many years earlier. Mr. Ibu, whose real name was John Okafor, was known for decades of comedy roles in Nollywood films. He had a leg amputated during a long illness in 2023 and died on 2 March 2024.
Marriage and engagement to Ken Erics
Jasmine announced on social media in late 2022 that a short marriage had ended. In May 2023, Nigerian actor Ken Erics proposed to her, and she shared a video of the proposal on Instagram, which several Nigerian outlets reported. Later reports conflict on whether the engagement led to a marriage, and we could not confirm her current relationship status.

- Her exact date of birth and age. A birth date of 10 November 1994 appears on profile sites, but we could not trace it to a reliable source.
