Popular Nigerian socialite, Chioma Goodhair has said that Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo initially didn’t approve of Tanzanian singer, Juma Jux dating her daughter, Priscilla.
Chioma, who is a close friend of the moviestar, recently jumped on social media to tell Nigerians what went down behind the scenes before Priscilla and Juma eventually tied the knot days ago.
According to her, because Iyabo Ojo has always seen her daughter as her prized possession, she found it very hard to let her date an artist from a different country, and her stance only grew stronger when the blogs started spreading negative things about the singer.
Chiomam, however, said after so much convincing, Iyabo finally agreed to approve the relationship, but on the condition that the singer would be ready to marry her daughter after they date for a specific period of time.
“It was one thing encouraging @its.priscy and @juma_jux on their love at first site 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.
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,’” she said.
Chioma added that the fact that Priscilla and Juma fell for each other at first sight is the reason she did everything within her power to convince Iyabo of how serious they were to be together.
On wedding plans for the young couple, the entrepreneur shared that preparations began around August 2024, and it was a funny experience because Priscilla and Jux had just officially started dating at the time. Chioma disclosed that Iyabo Ojo insisted that Juma must come down to Nigeria to wed her daughter, and another wedding would be done in Tanzania as well.
According to the socialite, it was hilarious seeing the actress plan a wedding in detail when the couple only just started getting to know each other, but she then realised that Iyabo has always been a prophetic person, so if she is saying anything out loud, it is already a manifestation.
“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,” Chioma added.
