There are many sides to the traditional wedding ceremony between Priscilla Ojo and Tanzanian music star Juma Jux, but the reunion of Iyabo Ojo, mother of the bride, and her ex-husband, Mr. Ademidun Ojo, was the highlight that many would not forget in a hurry.
As the two parents took their seats side by side to bless their daughter, despite having long ended their marriage, it was a quiet but powerful moment that spoke volumes about love, maturity, and the strength of family bonds—even when they come with complicated history.
For many who knew how distant Ademidun had been from Priscilla’s life, seeing him show up and play his fatherly role in public was emotional.
This was the first time both Iyabo and her ex-husband were seen publicly together in years, especially in the presence of their children, Festus and Priscilla.
Persecondnews recalls that Iyabo, ever the vibrant personality, maintained her grace, exchanging respectful pleasantries with her former partner as they blessed their daughter and welcomed Juma into the family.
While social media had earlier speculated about the father’s absence during the Tanzanian leg of the wedding, the Lagos ceremony proved otherwise.
It served as a statement—loud in its silence—that differences can be set aside when it matters most. And for Priscilla, who once spoke about having “daddy issues” during an interview, the wedding may have provided a sense of healing.
But beyond the deeply personal family moment, the wedding itself was an affair to remember.
The streets of Lagos stood still for hours as a parade of celebrities, influencers, and musicians from Nigeria and East Africa turned up in style.
The official aso ebi for the event—a radiant lemon green lace—transformed the venue into a dazzling sea of color, elegance, and sheer glamour.
Top Nollywood stars, influencers, and entertainers were spotted rocking the lemon green lace with bold accessories, dramatic geles, and custom-designed fits.
Iyabo Ojo herself wore a head-turning embellished outfit that matched perfectly with her daughter’s bridal attire.
Every photo and video that surfaced online glowed with beauty and celebration.
Among the surprise appearances were East African celebrities who came to support the groom.
Tanzanian megastars like Diamond Platnumz, Zuchu, and Nandy were spotted mingling with Nigerian music giants like D’banj and Slimcase.
The intercontinental guest list gave the wedding a Pan-African feel, bridging Lagos and Dar es Salaam with music, laughter, and fashion.
Music was another highlight of the day. A live band filled the venue with the sounds of traditional Yoruba beats, seamlessly blending with Swahili love ballads played by the DJ.
At one point, Juma Jux himself joined the performers and sang for his bride, a moment that brought many guests to their feet in a wave of applause and admiration.
One standout moment came when Priscilla walked into the venue in a matching outfit with her husband.
The couple glowed in gold embroidery that complemented the lemon green theme.
Guests rose to their feet as the couple danced in, cheered on by friends and family, with petals thrown in their path and chants of “Love wins!” echoing throughout the hall.
Celebrity stylist Toyin Lawani was on ground and responsible for several guests’ stunning looks, while Enioluwa Adeoluwa brought his signature energy and documented moments from behind the scenes.
Social media was flooded with reels, photos, and emotional posts from fellow influencers like Papaya Ex, Susan Pwajok, and Beauty Tukura.
Even Paulo Okoye, Iyabo’s current partner, made a subtle but stylish appearance.
PerSecond News spotted him arriving in a Rolls Royce alongside his son, Paolo, both of them wearing the official male aso ebi for the occasion.
Though he didn’t overshadow the moment, his presence was a strong show of support for Iyabo and her daughter.
The wedding wasn’t just a celebration of love—it was a cultural spectacle that showcased unity, healing, and cross-continental connection.
It was a wedding that defied social media expectations and delivered real-life moments that touched the hearts.
