Someone joked that other Nigerian celebrities are probably telling their kids that Priscilla Ojo doesn’t have two heads. They may not be wrong. The 24-year-old Priscilla Ojo, the first daughter of actress Iyabo Ojo, is currently the most talked-about celebrity kid in Nigeria — thanks to her trending love life with Juma Mkambala, AKA Juma Jux, a 34-year-old Tanzanian singer.
Since the day the two lovebirds appeared on each other’s feeds in 2024, it’s been endless sweetness and viral moments on social media. They’re a Nigerian blogger’s dream and have frequently made headlines for their whirlwind romance.
With their wedding scheduled for this month, we’ve decided to curate a complete timeline of Priscilla and Jux’s relationship — from their first encounter to their upcoming nuptials.
2024: Found love in Rwanda
The exact time of their first meeting isn’t specified, but according to Juma Jux during his speech at their second proposal party in Lagos in February 2025, he first met Priscilla during a work trip in Rwanda in 2024.
“The first day I saw Priscilla in Rwanda, I missed my flight and couldn’t get a business-class seat because it was full,” he said. “I was pissed off, and after passing through the business class section, I saw her laughing at me. I told my team I wouldn’t talk to any of those ladies again. Later, we went to stay at the same hotel.”
Recalling how he later warmed up to Priscilla, Jux said, “She wasn’t feeling well that day, while Chioma Ikokwu [Priscilla’s friend] was charming and making friends with many people. I started a conversation with her friend, and from there, I gained confidence, and we began talking. I liked her from the first day I saw her at the airport. There was something about her I couldn’t explain, but I knew my heart was drawn to her.”
By June 2024, news of their relationship started making the rounds.
June – July 2024: Juma Jux and Priscilla become IG official
Priscilla first appeared on Jux’s page in June 2024, when he posted a video featuring her to promote his song “Maboss” with Billnass. At the time, many assumed it was just a publicity stunt to push the track.
However, in July 2024, Priscilla made things official with a photo post on Instagram, simply captioned “Mine.” That marked the beginning of their love story in the public eye.
August 2024: Iyabo Ojo meets Juma Jux
Juma Jux visited Nigeria to meet Priscilla’s mum, Iyabo Ojo, for the first time. In a viral clip, the three were seen eating and posing for photos.
September 2024: Iyabo Ojo confirms Priscilla’s engagement
In September, Iyabo Ojo posted a video from a pre-wedding photoshoot, expressing her excitement about her daughter’s upcoming wedding.
That same month, Jux released “Ololufe Mi”, a song featuring Diamond Platnumz, which he dedicated to Priscilla. She also appeared in the music video.
December 2024: Iyabo Ojo reveals wedding details
During an interview with Goldmyne at the premiere of Seven Doors, Iyabo Ojo revealed that Priscilla and Jux’s wedding would happen in April 2025. She described it as a four-part, carnival-style celebration: two parts in Nigeria, one in Tanzania, and a final destination wedding. The official colours? Olive and a touch of gold.
The news sparked mixed reactions. While many shared in her joy, others felt she was revealing too much.
February 2025: Nikkah in Tanzania
On February 8 and 9, Juma Jux and Priscilla Ojo had their Nikkah ceremony in Tanzania. During the event, Priscilla revealed her new Islamic name, Hadiza, and Mkambala, her husband’s family name.
Guests included Eniola Adeoluwa, Mitchelle Gentry (Mercy Aigbe’s daughter), and of course, her mum Iyabo Ojo. However, the ceremony drew even more attention and scrutiny when news spread that Priscilla’s father was absent.
On February 12, Jux proposed to Priscilla for the second time in Lagos, surrounded by their friends and family. On Valentine’s Day, he released the visualiser for another song, “Si Mimi” dedicated to her.
April 2025: The wedding countdown begins
Paulo Okoye, Iyabo Ojo’s partner and Priscilla’s stepfather, shared his excitement and readiness on Instagram, confirming that the Lagos wedding is set for April 17, 2025.
With just three days to go, it’s shaping up to be the most talked-about celebrity wedding since Sharon Ooja-Nwoke’s wedding in 2024.
