- Actress Iyabo Ojo’s daughter, Priscilla, is getting married to Tanzanian singer Juma Jux in Lagos, with colorful videos emerging online.
- The event featured Iyabo’s ex-husband, who participated in the Yoruba tradition of handing his daughter’s hand in marriage.
The traditional wedding of Nigerian actress Iyabo Ojo’s daughter, Priscilla Ojo, and Tanzanian music star Juma Jux officially kicked off in Lagos, with videos from the vibrant event already making rounds online.
One standout moment from the ceremony was the appearance of Priscilla’s father, Iyabo Ojo’s estranged ex-husband, who took part in the traditional rite of giving away his daughter, in accordance with Yoruba customs. A trending video showed him dressed in an elegant Agbada, dancing alongside Iyabo Ojo during the festivities.
Social media users were quick to notice his rather serious facial expression during the celebration, with some questioning why he wasn’t smiling like the rest of the partygoers.
In a related development, a previously surfaced clip showed the moment Priscilla’s dad met Juma Jux for the first time. The two exchanged greetings in a calm and respectful manner, putting to rest some speculation surrounding their relationship.
This comes after reports circulated that Priscilla’s father was not present during her Nikkah ceremony in Tanzania, which raised questions about their bond. However, Priscilla clarified that she had spoken to her father on the day of the event.
