Why Iyabo Ojo Said Yes To Priscilla Dating Tanzanian Star Juma Jux – Chioma Goodhair Reveals All

Media personality Chioma Ikokwu, popularly known as Chioma Goodhair, has revealed how she played a key role in getting Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo to accept her daughter Priscilla’s relationship with Tanzanian singer Juma Jux.

In a post shared on Instagram, Chioma disclosed that Iyabo was initially cautious and skeptical upon learning about Priscilla’s romance with Jux.

Chioma recounted that she spent nearly two hours walking from Oxford Circus to Knightsbridge, trying to persuade Iyabo to give the relationship a chance.

Though hesitant at first, Iyabo eventually agreed — but only after being assured that Juma was serious about marrying her daughter.

According to Chioma, Juma had made his intentions clear from the beginning, expressing a desire to marry Priscilla early on. What started as a conversation about love, she said, quickly turned into a discussion about wedding plans, with Iyabo laying out her expectations in full.

Chioma wrote:
“Supporting @its.priscy and @juma_jux in their love-at-first-sight journey was one thing, but convincing Queen Mother to let a famous Tanzanian artist date her only daughter was another challenge entirely. At the time, none of us had ties to Tanzania — it all seemed so unlikely. But after spending some time with Juma in Rwanda, I could tell he was genuine and completely taken by Priscy.

“It wasn’t easy convincing Iyabo. I remember walking from Oxford Circus all the way to Knightsbridge — almost two hours — just trying to change her mind. She kept calling afterward with concerns based on what blogs were saying, and I kept reminding her how unreliable most gossip blogs are.

“I had already questioned Juma thoroughly in Rwanda when he showed deep interest in Priscy, so I had solid answers to every concern Iyabo raised. Eventually, she said, ‘If he’s going to date her, then he must be ready to marry her,’ and I assured her that he would — he told me on the very first day that he wanted to marry her.

“Before we knew it, what started as a simple relationship talk turned into actual wedding planning. This was back in August 2024. Iyabo was already discussing traditional ceremonies in Nigeria and one in Tanzania too. I was laughing at first, but quickly got serious — anyone who knows Iyabo knows she’s prophetic. When she speaks, things tend to happen just the way she says.”
