A throwback video of Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo predicting her daughter, Priscilla’s early marriage has surfaced online.
In the clip, Priscilla had just turned 20, and Iyabo, while with her and her friends, told her she must be engaged at the age of 23, married at 24, and have her first child at 25. Priscilla, who wasn’t buying her mother’s statement, stated that she would get married in 6 years, that’s at the age of 26.
Iyabo Ojo’s affirmation to her daughter worked for her, as Priscilla at age 23, is already engaged to Tanzanian singer, Juma Jux and set to tie the knot next year, 2025.
Speaking on her daughter’s engagement last week, Iyabo affirmed that there is power in the tongue as she noted how she has always been declaring that she wants her daughter to get married early. Iyabo said when Priscilla told her she would be getting married to a Tanzanian man, she had to Google the country, talk to him on the phone, and tell him the steps involved in meeting in-laws and that he had to come to Nigeria to introduce himself, which he did. Ojo praised her son-in-law for being a family-oriented man, as she gushed over how his sister is so much in love with Priscilla and how they are already preparing for the wedding.
Recall that in March, Iyabo revealed her desire for Priscilla to follow her footstep by getting married at a young age and having kids. The mother of two stated that Priscilla always avoids questions about marriage, but she isn’t the type to put her child under pressure.
Luckily for her, her desire came to pass as in August, Priscilla brought the Tanzanian singer to Nigeria for his birthday, where she and her family sweetly welcomed him. Her actress mother had ushered him into the Ojo family, noting how extra was their middle name, as she declared her love for him.
Priscilla hinted at being engaged as she and her boyfriend, Jux, stunned in lovely Yoruba traditional attires. Kemi Filani later learnt that the lovebirds are engaged and are set to tie the knot next year.
A week back Juma Jux’s sister had visited Nigeria, where she received a rousing welcome from Iyabo and her daughter. Iyabo described her daughter’s sister-in-law as amazing and a precious addition to their family, as she promised to give her an unforgettable experience and shower her with love, laughter, and adventure in Lagos.
