Iyabo Ojo Initially Didn’t Approve Juma Jux And Priscilla’s Relationship – Chioma Goodhair

Popular Nigerian socialite, Chioma Goodhair has come out to say that Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo initially didn’t approve of Juma Jux dating Priscilla. She recently had her say via her social media page, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, since Iyabo Ojo has always seen her daughter as her prized possession, she found it difficult to approve their relationship, especially because the blogs started spreading negative things about the singer at the time.

Chioma, however, added that, after so much convincing, Iyabo finally agreed, on the condition that Jux would marry her daughter after they date for a specific period of time.

Her words, “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.

It wasn’t easy convincing Iyabo. I remember walking all the way from Oxford (United Kingdom) 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’

On making wedding plans, “Like a joke we started planning the wedding on this call. This was August 2024. It was so funny because they had just become official bf & gf and here we were speaking the actual details of a wedding into existence.

Iyabo was saying they must come to Nigeria to take her and then we can do one in their country too. I was laughing at first because of how detailed she was being but then I quickly got serious because anyone who truly knows Iyabo knows how prophetic she is. Whatever she speaks with her mouth comes to pass just as she says it.

Fast forward barely 3 months later we started planning an actual wedding- the #JP2025 you’ve all come To be a part of.”

WOW.

Nollywood is a sobriquet that originally referred to the Nigerian film industry. The origin of the term dates back to the early 2000s, traced to an article in The New York Times. Due to the history of evolving meanings and contexts, there is no clear or agreed-upon definition for the term, which has made it a subject to several controversies.

The origin of the term “Nollywood” remains unclear; Jonathan Haynes traced the earliest usage of the word to a 2002 article by Matt Steinglass in the New York Times, where it was used to describe Nigerian cinema.

Charles Igwe noted that Norimitsu Onishi also used the name in a September 2002 article he wrote for the New York Times. The term continues to be used in the media to refer to the Nigerian film industry, with its definition later assumed to be a portmanteau of the words “Nigeria” and “Hollywood”, the American major film hub.

Film-making in Nigeria is divided largely along regional, and marginally ethnic and religious lines. Thus, there are distinct film industries – each seeking to portray the concern of the particular section and ethnicity it represents. However, there is the English-language film industry which is a melting pot for filmmaking and filmmakers from most of the regional industries.
