In the now widely circulated clip, Iyabo can be seen visibly moved as she speaks blessings over Priscilla’s new journey. With heartfelt conviction, she declared that her daughter’s marriage would defy all odds, flourish in love, and stand the test of time.
“You will grow old with your husband. He will be beside you from your youth till old age, and you will raise your children together,” Iyabo prayed. “You have married right. You have married the bone of your bones, the flesh of your flesh.”
The actress—who has been open about her own challenges in marriage—seemed to draw a line between her personal struggles and her daughter’s path, suggesting that the sacrifices she endured were not in vain but were laying a spiritual foundation for Priscilla’s marital success.
“If mine didn’t work, yours will work,” she declared, her voice cracking with emotion. “I have paid that sacrifice for yours to work.”
Iyabo’s passionate words come months after Priscilla and Juma Jux’s wedding, which initially drew mixed reactions from the public. Some skeptics had questioned the cross-cultural nature of the union and the couple’s readiness. However, Iyabo’s unwavering support appears to silence critics, reaffirming her belief in the couple’s compatibility and shared future.
While the newlyweds have kept much of their private life away from the limelight, moments like this reflect a strong sense of family support that could prove vital in their journey ahead.
For Iyabo Ojo, a woman who has walked through marital hardship, her prayer was more than a wish—it was a declaration of generational hope.
