Actress Iyabo Ojo has returned to Nigeria after attending the first phase of her daughter Priscilla’s wedding in Tanzania.
The 47-year-old, who has been sharing updates on social media, expressed gratitude for a surprise welcome party organised by her close friends and sisters.
In an Instagram post on Sunday, she wrote, “I’m speechless! I thought I was the only ‘extra’ one, but my friends and sisters just took it to a whole new level! This surprise welcome back home party was everything and more! I’m still reeling from the shock – I never saw it coming!
“Thank you, each and every one of you, for this heartfelt, warming, and wonderful surprise! I’m truly grateful. God bless you all! I love you all!”
Last week, Priscilla tied the knot with Tanzanian singer Juma Jux in a traditional ceremony in line with his customs. Jux later proposed to her again in the presence of family and close friends, this time with what Iyabo described as a “ring twice the size.”
The couple also had a civil wedding in Tanzania, prompting the actress to announce, “Three done and dusted, three to go! Nigeria, get ready! We’re shutting down two ceremonies in April! It’s going to be epic!”
Iyabo revealed that the next phase of the celebrations will be in Nigeria, where Priscilla and Jux will have their traditional and white weddings in April. The grand finale party is set to take place in Tanzania in May.
“To everyone who flew in to celebrate the beautiful union of my daughter, Priscilla, and son, Juma, I’m forever grateful! The three-part celebration was a resounding success, and I give God all the glory.
“Next, we have two more exciting events: the traditional and white weddings in April, both in Nigeria, followed by the grand finale party in Tanzania in May! May we live to witness our children celebrate their own milestones.
“Thank you, dear fans, loved ones, and family, for your unwavering love and support. May the union of #its.priscy and #juma_jux be blessed, and may your hearts’ desires be fulfilled. Thank you once again!”
The wedding celebrations, tagged #JP2025 have generated excitement among fans.
