Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has joyfully announced her daughter Priscilla Ojo’s engagement and upcoming wedding, scheduled for 2025 in Tanzania.
Speaking about the exciting news, Iyabo shared that she had always declared her wish for Priscilla to marry young, even though her daughter initially expressed reluctance.
In a heartfelt revelation, Iyabo recounted how Priscilla recently approached her to share her readiness for marriage. The actress humorously noted how she had to Google information about Tanzania and spoke with Priscilla’s fiancé, Juma Jux, who happily agreed to follow traditional customs by visiting Nigeria to meet the Ojo family. Iyabo praised Juma for his family values, respect for women, and close bond with his sister, who has already formed a strong relationship with Priscilla.
There is power in the tongue,” Iyabo stated. “I have always said I wanted my daughter to marry early. One day, she came to me and said she was ready and we would be going to Tanzania. I spoke to Juma on the phone, explained the process of meeting in-laws, and he didn’t hesitate to book a flight to Nigeria. Juma is a family-oriented man, and his sister loves Priscilla dearly. We are now deep into wedding preparations.”
Iyabo has long expressed her desire for Priscilla to marry young, following her own footsteps. Although Priscilla often avoided conversations about marriage, Iyabo respected her daughter’s pace and refrained from exerting pressure. Fortune smiled on the family when Priscilla introduced Juma Jux to them in August, marking his birthday with a heartwarming celebration in Nigeria. The couple has since shared glimpses of their love, including stunning photos in Yoruba traditional attire, sparking engagement rumors.
Last week, Juma Jux’s sister visited Nigeria and received a warm welcome from Iyabo and Priscilla. Iyabo described her as an incredible addition to their family, promising an unforgettable experience filled with love, laughter, and adventure in Lagos.
