Nigerian entrepreneur and socialite, Chioma Goodhair, has revealed that Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo’s initial reaction to daughter Priscilla’s relationship with Tanzanian singer, Juma Jux.
Priscilla and Juma got married over the weekend in a lavish traditional and white wedding held on Friday and Saturday respectively.
Chioma, a close associate of Iyabo Ojo, took to Instagram to give fans and well-wishers a peep into the behind scenes of how the new couple got the approval of Priscilla’s mother for their relationship.
According to the socialite, Priscilla and Juma’s relationship was ‘love at first sight’, adding that regardless of this Iyabo Ojo needed some convincing from her before approving of it.
She said, “It was one thing encouraging @its.priscy and @juma_jux on their love at first sight quest but it was a whole other thing convincing Queen Mother to allow a big time Tanzanian Artist date her only daughter and prized possession Priscy.”
Chioma explained further that “it wasn’t easy convincing Iyabo. I remember walking all the way from Oxford (United Kingdom) circus to the end of Knightsbridge (almost 2 hours) tryna convince her.
“And after that she would call every other hour saying ‘but Chioma this blog said this and that blog said that’ 😭& I’d say ‘but you and I Know most gossip blogs are inaccurate and unfounded.’”
According to Chioma, when Iyabo Ojo would eventually allow herself to be convinced, it was under the condition that “if she’s (Priscilla) gonna date him then he better be ready to marry her and I said I promise you he will (He told me he wanted to marry her on day 1)”
On when and how wedding plans started, “Like a joke we started planning the wedding on this call. This was August 2024. It was so funny because they had just become official bf & gf and here we were speaking the actual details of a wedding into existence.
“Iyabo was saying they must come to Nigeria to take her and then we can do one in their country too. I was laughing at first because of how detailed she was being but then I quickly got serious because anyone who truly knows Iyabo knows how prophetic she is. Whatever she speaks with her mouth comes to pass just as she says it.
“Fast forward barely 3 months later we started planning an actual wedding- the #JP2025 you’ve all come To be a part of.”
