Exclusive: Iyabo Ojo’s Daughter’s Grand Finale Wedding In Tanzania Reveals ‘Real Mama Priscilla

Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has publicly expressed her gratitude to her longtime friend and mentee, Kudirat Ogunro, popularly known as Kudi Alagbo, for her invaluable role in raising her daughter, Priscilla Ojo, and son, Festus.

The heartfelt appreciation came during the grand finale of Priscilla’s elaborate wedding to Tanzanian artist Juma Jux, held on Wednesday in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. This event, themed ‘African Royal Wedding,’ followed more than five celebrations held in both Tanzania and Nigeria.

In an Instagram post, Iyabo Ojo reflected on how Kudi played a crucial part in her early motherhood years, especially as she balanced her demanding acting career.

Describing Kudi as the “Real Mama Priscilla,” Iyabo fondly recalled her hands-on support in caring for Priscilla and Festus while she was away on film sets.

She wrote, “This is one of the people who helped raise Priscilla—this is Mummy Priscilla. Thank you so much. When I was busy hunting for jobs and shooting on location, you stayed home to stand in for me. You fed and cared for her and Festus, giving them all the necessary guidance, even disciplining them when needed.

“This is the real Mama Priscilla—she taught Priscilla how to cook, bathed her, fed her, and took her to school. Thank you so much.”
