Actress Iyabo Ojo’s throwback video of a bold marriage prediction for her daughter Priscilla Ojo has resurfaced and gone viral, stirring conversations online.
The video recorded on Priscilla’s 20th birthday in 2021 captures Iyabo laying out a precise timeline for her daughter’s life milestones.
Determined to make her wish known, Iyabo insisted on recording her words as a reminder.
“Once you’re 23, get engaged. At 24, wedding bells. And by 25, a baby,” Iyabo said, smiling while Priscilla shyly responded that marriage was still far off predicting it wouldn’t be for another six years.
Fast forward to the present, Priscilla now 23 is engaged to Tanzanian singer Juma Jux seemingly right on track with her mother’s vision.
Iyabo, reflecting on the turn of events, expressed amazement during a recent interview, reiterating her belief in the power of spoken words.
“Power lies in the tongue,” she said, explaining that she’d always encouraged Priscilla to marry young.
Although Priscilla initially resisted, she surprised Iyabo this year by sharing her plans to marry Juma.
“Priscilla told me, ‘Mommy, we’re going to Tanzania,” Iyabo revealed.
She then started researching the East African country and told Priscilla she’d pray over the relationship to ensure Juma was indeed “the one.”
Juma visited Nigeria in August and Priscilla welcomed him in grand style, marking his introduction to her family in a highly-publicised ceremony.
