Nigerian actress Iyabo Ojo is celebrating the realization of a wish she once made for her daughter, Priscilla Ojo, after the young woman got engaged to Tanzanian singer Juma Jux. In a recent live interview, Iyabo reflected on how her desire for her daughter to marry early had materialized, emphasizing the power of words and affirmations.
Priscilla, who was born to Iyabo at the age of 23, is now engaged to Juma Jux, whose real name is Juma Mussa Mkambala. The couple’s engagement has attracted attention, especially considering Iyabo’s long-standing wish for Priscilla to find love and settle down at an early age. The actress has publicly expressed her desire for her daughter to be engaged by 23, a milestone Priscilla has now reached.
In her interview following the engagement announcement, Iyabo Ojo spoke about the significance of speaking things into existence. “Power lies in the tongue,” she remarked, reflecting on the importance of positive affirmations. The actress has long been vocal about her aspirations for her daughter, particularly in regard to her personal life and future.
This sentiment was also evident in a throwback video from 2021, where Iyabo Ojo gave Priscilla a birthday message on her 20th birthday, outlining specific milestones for her future. In the video, she told Priscilla, “You should be engaged at 23, married at 24, and have your first child at 25.” Now, as Priscilla reaches the age of 23 and gets engaged to Juma Jux, it seems that Iyabo’s wishes are coming to fruition.
