Oga Obinna’s baby mama Tallie, known online as Mama Ella and tallie_254, has set social media ablaze after sharing a string of Instagram stories that many interpreted as a sign she had been forced out of the comedian’s home.
In one post, Tallie shared a faith-themed video clip filmed from inside a moving vehicle, with streets, trees and pedestrians rolling past in the background. The clip carried the caption:
“Where he leads, I will follow.” accompanied by four red heart emojis, set against worship audio proclaiming: ‘Anywhere you lead me, I will go. Cause you are the way, truth and the life, Jesus.’ She added her own words beneath it
“And the old chapter closes on to the next one.”
An earlier story, posted roughly an hour before, left little to the imagination. Against a grey background in bold white letters, Tallie wrote:
“Social media ‘friends’ are not the ones that sent me a text message telling me to pack and leave, did they?”
The posts arrived just 24 hours after a raw and tearful TikTok Live on Friday, 23 October, during which Tallie appealed to well-wishers to help her raise capital to launch a small home-based business, including selling pyjamas.
A journalism and mass communication graduate, she told viewers that persistent job applications had yielded no stable employment. She was careful to note that Obinna does provide for their daughter Ella financially, and that her appeal was purely about achieving her own independence.
Tallie is Obinna’s fourth baby mama and the mother of his fifth child. The entertainer disclosed in September 2025 that he only learned of Ella’s existence a year after the child’s birth, through a third party, claiming Tallie had quietly discontinued her family planning without his knowledge.
Their co-parenting arrangement has been complicated, with Tallie previously explaining that she occasionally stays over at Obinna’s residence when she brings Ella to visit, given the child’s young age.
Obinna has since addressed the criticism surrounding Tallie’s business appeal, maintaining that he fully covers Ella’s upkeep and school fees. He drew a clear line, however, stating that financing the personal ambitions of Ella’s mother falls outside his obligations.
At the time this article was published, Obinna had not directly addressed Tallie’s claim about being told to pack and leave.
