“But Chioma This Blog Said This And That Blog Said That’”, Iyabo Ojo Was Once Skeptical About Juma Until Chioma Ikokwu Convinced Her To Accept Him As Son-In-Law

Chioma Ikokwu, the Nigerian entrepreneur, has recalled how she encouraged actress Iyabo Ojo to accept Juma Jux as her son-in-law.

Iyabo’s daughter Priscilla Ojo and singer Jux held their traditional and white weddings in Lagos last week, following their Islamic traditional wedding in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in February.

In a recent Instagram post, Chioma revealed that she encouraged the couple to explore their romantic connection after noticing their chemistry.

She said, however, convincing Iyabo Ojo to approve the relationship proved to be a bigger challenge.

According to Chioma, Iyabo was highly protective of her daughter and initially skeptical about Jux due to his Tanzanian background and online rumours about him.

“It was one thing encouraging @its.priscy and @juma_jux on their love at first site quest but it was a whole other thing convincing queen mother to allow a big time Tanzanian artist date her only daughter and prized possession Priscy,” she wrote.

“At the time we didn’t have any Tanzanian ties, nor had we been there. It all just seemed so far fetched. But the little time I spent around Juma in Rwanda was enough for me to know that he was a good man with a good heart that was absolutely smitten by Priscy from the jump.

“It wasn’t easy convincing Iyabo. I remember walking all the way from Oxford circus to the end of Knightsbridge (almost 2 hours) tryna convince her. And after that she would call every other hour saying ‘but Chioma this blog said this and that blog said that’.

“I’d say ‘but you and I know most gossip blogs are inaccurate and unfounded’ plus I had grilled Juma enough in Rwanda when he expressed his profound interest in my little sis so as God would have it I had solid answers for every single one of Iyabo’s concerns.”

Chioma added that Iyabo eventually agreed but with one major condition: Juma had to be serious about marrying Priscilla if he wanted to date her.

“Shortly after that she said well if she’s gonna date him then he better be ready to marry her and I said I promise you he will (he told me he wanted to marry her on day 1). Like a joke we started planning the wedding on this call. This was August 2024,” she continued.
