Why I See No Problem With Priscilla Being Engaged at 23 – Iyabo Ojo
Nigerian actress, business woman, and influencer Priscilla Ojo surprised the world when she announced that she is not only in love, but also engaged to her current boyfriend and fiance Juma Jux. The revelation caused a lot of mixed feelings as on the one hand, people celebrated Priscilla for finding love, especially in a season where people are struggling to find it. But on the other hand, some people were also worried about the announcement because of Priscilla’s rather young age of 23.

In a new interview with The New Telegraph, Iyabo Ojo opens up about her feelings towards Priscilla’s love life and engagement, explaining why she’s happy for Priscilla. Here’s what Iyabo Ojo said.

During the interview, Iyabo Ojo was asked “You are an intentional mother; how did you feel when your daughter told you she has found love?” to which Iyabo Ojo said:
IYABO OJO: My children were raised to be as intentional as I am. I’ve always said that when we want to have additional family members they also have to be intentional and I give God the glory that her man and his family are also very intentional, they really love Priscilla and we are super excited.
I believe that she’s in the limelight and she’s walking that fame now and a lot of distractions come along as a young woman, I noticed that when I started making my name. I already had my children and it was an easier journey.
I’ve seen a lot of my friends on this journey who were not married and didn’t have kids and the pressure was more. There was a lot of hastiness to want to settle down and you find out that you are settling down with the wrong ones. I didn’t want my child to be in that position because I knew that Priscilla was going to be a star, a celebrity.
I knew that because I groomed her to be that way and that was what she also wanted. I knew that helping her achieve that, these things would come up and I groomed her to find love early and settle down and have children, build her own family and journey. God did it. He brought someone who is in the entertainment world in his own country and he understands showbiz and knows what that kind of life entails. It’s good, I’m excited.
