Nigerian Actress Iyabo Ojo Fiercely Defends Daughter Priscilla Against Tanzanian Blogger’s Criticism Over Wedding Posts

 

Priscilla Ojo, a rising content creator and daughter of renowned Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, has captured widespread attention in Nigeria following a heated clash between her mother and Tanzanian blogger-activist Mange Kimambi. The drama unfolded after Kimambi posted a lengthy message on Instagram, sharply criticizing Priscilla and her new husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, for their frequent social media updates. Labeling their romantic posts “stupid content,” Kimambi urged the couple to pause sharing for five months, arguing that the displays distracted Tanzanians from focusing on critical national issues, including upcoming elections and efforts to challenge government policies. The activist’s remarks, posted on June 6, 2025, sparked a firestorm online.

In a fiery response, Iyabo Ojo took to social media to defend her daughter, slamming Kimambi for calling Priscilla and Juma Jux’s posts “stupid.” The Nollywood star revealed that her family solely funded Priscilla’s lavish Nigerian wedding, emphasizing their independence and pride in the celebration. Iyabo passionately warned the Tanzanian blogger to keep Priscilla out of political matters, asserting that her daughter’s personal joy should not be dragged into Tanzania’s civic struggles. The exchange, widely circulated on platforms like X, ignited debates about celebrity influence, cultural boundaries, and the right to self-expression. Many Nigerians rallied behind Iyabo, praising her fierce maternal protectiveness, while others discussed the tension between personal milestones and political climates. Priscilla’s marriage continues to draw focus, amplifying this cross-border controversy.
