Priscilla Ojo, daughter of Nollywood legend Iyabo Ojo, and Tanzanian music sensation Juma Jux said “I do” in a celebration that had everyone talking. Dubbed #JP2025, this wasn’t just a wedding—it was a full-blown cultural extravaganza, complete with show-stopping fashion, A-list guests, and moments so heartfelt they had us all reaching for the tissues.
A Love Story Written With Purpose
Their journey began with an intimate wedding introduction in Tanzania back in February—a cosy, family-filled affair that set the tone for what was to come. But Juma wasn’t done sweeping Priscilla off her feet. Just before Valentine’s Day, he dropped to one knee again, this time with a dazzling 5.2-carat diamond ring. The proposal video broke the internet, proving this was a love built on thoughtfulness—and a serious flair for romance.
Not long after, the couple held their civil ceremony in Lagos, attended by the likes of Toyin Abraham, Chioma Good Hair, Enioluwa, and Diana Eneje. And if their Instagram posts were anything to go by? It was every bit as chic as you’d expect.
The Traditional Wedding: A Celebration of Two Cultures
Held at Five Palms, Oniru, the traditional wedding was a breathtaking fusion of Nigerian and Tanzanian heritage. The day kicked off with official photos of the couple in royal purple—Priscilla and Juma looked every inch the regal pair, their chemistry undeniable.
But the real tearjerker? Iyabo Ojo’s heartfelt prayer over her daughter before the ceremony. In a deeply emotional moment, Priscilla knelt in her bridal robe as her mother blessed the union with fierce love—a beautiful nod to Nigerian tradition.
Iyabo Ojo & Her Ex-Husband: The Moment Everyone Was Talking About
One of the biggest surprises? The appearance of Iyabo’s ex-husband, Ademidun Ojo, who had been absent from the Tanzanian celebrations. Any rumours of tension were swiftly put to rest when a video of the former couple dancing together went viral. Fans praised Iyabo for handling what could have been an awkward moment with pure grace. “Queen Mother did what needed to be done,” one comment read.
Bridesmaid Goals & Pre-Wedding Vibes
Priscilla’s bridesmaids brought the heat in pink lace dresses and striped geles, each look unique yet perfectly coordinated. And let’s not forget their Tanzanian-themed bridal shower—a sweet tribute to Juma’s roots.
Fashion Moments That Broke the Internet
If there was ever a masterclass in wedding guest dressing, this was it. The official palette—olive green, pink, maroon, and gold—was interpreted with serious style by every attendee.
Priscilla’s Two Show-Stopping Looks:
– First Look: A royal purple dream, with Juma in a matching agbada.
– Second Look: A sparkling silver lace gown paired with a deep maroon gele. Juma mirrored her in a maroon velvet agbada, complete with a carved staff and traditional beads—utterly majestic.
Iyabo Ojo, Mother of the Bride:
She stunned in a green-and-gold Mubrik Luxury dress, then switched to a vibrant coral-and-red beaded ensemble that had everyone talking.
Mercy Aigbe’s Double Slay:

Celebrity Appearances & The Viral Moment No One Saw Coming
Governor Ademola Adeleke made a surprise appearance, treating guests to an impromptu performance. Meanwhile, Toyin Abraham, Chioma Good Hair, Enioluwa, Diana Eneje, and Michelle Aigbe all brought their A-game.
But the real showstopper? Papaya Ex, who turned up in a sleek dress with Juma’s face printed on her bust. Bold? Absolutely. Controversial? Maybe. Viral? Without a doubt. This wasn’t just a wedding—it was a cultural moment, a fashion spectacle, and a love story we’ll be talking about for years.
