Chioma Goodhair, a renowned socialite and entrepreneur, recently shared the inspiring story of how she played a role in convincing Iyabo Ojo to bless the relationship between her daughter, Priscilla, and Tanzanian singer, Juma Jux.
The couple’s glamorous wedding, held last weekend, captured widespread media attention and sparked buzz across social media platforms.
Sharing on Instagram, Chioma revealed that persuading Iyabo to support the union wasn’t a challenge, as the actress quickly embraced the love between her daughter and Juma Jux.
Chioma revealed that while she had supported Priscilla and Juma Jux’s relationship from the start, Iyabo Ojo initially had her doubts—mainly due to the lack of any prior connection between their family and Tanzania.
In a heartfelt disclosure, Chioma shared how she once took a two-hour walk from Oxford Circus to Knightsbridge in London, all in a bid to convince Iyabo to trust Juma Jux and give her blessing to the relationship.
“It wasn’t easy convincing Iyabo. I remember walking all the way from Oxford Circus to the end of Knightsbridge (almost 2 hours) tryna convince her.”
PART 1
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. At the time we didn’t have any Tanzanian ties, nor had we been there. It all just seemed so far fetched. But the little time I spent around Juma in Rwanda was enough for me to know that he was a good man with a good heart that was ABSOLUTELY smitten by Priscy from the jump. It wasn’t easy convincing iyabo. I remember walking all the way from Oxford 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”, plus I had grilled Juma enough in Rwanda when he expressed his profound interest in my little sis so as God would have it I had solid answers for every single one of Iyabo’s concerns. Shortly after that she said well if she’s gonna date him then he better be ready to marry her and I said I promise you he will(He told me he wanted to marry her on day 1)
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.
@iyaboojofespris I want to also honour you today for the incredible human that you are. This wedding has truly proved how loved you are and I’m happy that nations are calling you blessed.
Thank you for handing over Priscilla to me as my little sister the way you have taken me as your own little sister.
