In a weekend where Lagos glistened with culture, celebrity glamour, and love wrapped across the Atlantic rhythms, one moment cut deeper than the music. It wasn’t the wealth, the guest list, or the camera flashes, rather, it was two former lovers, standing side by side, dancing for their daughter.
Actress Iyabo Ojo didn’t just show up for her daughter, Priscilla. She showed the world what grace under memory looks like.
At the traditional wedding between Priscilla and Tanzanian music sensation Juma Jux, all eyes shifted when Iyabo’s ex-husband stepped onto the scene — not just as a guest, but as a father reclaiming his role in the spotlight of Yoruba custom.
He came dressed in full Agbada regalia, embodying tradition, stepping into the rite of passage with quiet dignity. No press statement. No unnecessary theatrics. Just a father giving away his daughter, as culture demands.
But social media did what social media does. A video of the estranged couple dancing surfaced — Iyabo, radiant and present; her ex, stone-faced and distant. The comment section lit up like wedding sparklers. Some applauded the maturity, others dissected the facial expressions like body language experts.
“The dad should smile na, Iyabo could have easily created drama but she understands this must be what her daughter wants. It is Priscy’s day,” one viewer wrote. Weeks earlier, whispers circled after Priscilla’s Nikkah ceremony in Tanzania, where her father was reportedly absent. Speculation brewed. Was there tension? Distance? Silence? Priscilla answered quietly — saying she spoke to him on the big day. No fuss. No drama.
At the Lagos celebration, the rumors melted away. A calm, respectful first meeting between Juma Jux and his future father-in-law played out on screen.
It wasn’t loud, but it was loud enough to silence the noise. Iyabo Ojo didn’t have to let that happen.
She didn’t need to share that space. But she did. And in doing so, she reminded everyone that motherhood isn’t just about presence — it’s about peace.
In the words of a fan: What we saw on that dance floor wasn’t just a reunion. It was a silent love letter — not between two exes, but to a daughter, on her big day. And in that moment, everyone understood: JP2025 wasn’t just a wedding. It was legacy.
