Love stories donât always follow the traditional path. Sometimes, theyâre filled with unexpected twists, a bit of hesitation, and â in this case â a whole lot of heart. Priscilla Ojo and Tanzanian artist Juma Jux are proof of that, but behind their blossoming relationship, thereâs another story unfolding: the quiet yet pivotal role played by Chioma Goodhair.

It all started like a fairytale. Priscilla, the stunning daughter of actress Iyabo Ojo, caught the eye of Juma Jux, and their connection was instant. But their love story didnât begin with a dramatic meeting or an exchange of words. Instead, it all started on a business trip in Rwanda, where Chioma, Priscilla, and Juma first crossed paths. Though they didnât get to speak right away, the three kept seeing each other around during their time there.
Juma noticed Priscilla, and after a few encounters, the spark was undeniable. It was then that Juma, feeling the chemistry between him and Priscilla, decided to take the next step. He asked Chioma if they could hang out together. Chioma, ever perceptive and a true protector, could easily see the chemistry between them, so she told Juma to get Priscillaâs number. And just like that, their story began to unfold.
But for every love story, thereâs always a moment when the questions start flooding in â especially when it involves two worlds that havenât quite collided before. In this case, it was Priscillaâs protective mother, Iyabo Ojo, and a big-time Tanzanian artist that had never set foot in Nigeria.

At first, Iyabo wasnât convinced. After all, who could blame her? The idea of letting her only daughter â her âprized possession,â as Chioma put it â date someone so far from their world seemed far-fetched. But Chioma, who had known Priscilla for years and shared a close bond with Iyabo, wasnât about to let this love story fade before it even began.
In an Instagram post, Chioma shared the story of how she became the mediator between Priscillaâs love life and her motherâs protective instincts. It wasnât just a matter of convincing a mum to accept a boyfriend; it was about showing Iyabo that Juma wasnât just any artist â he was someone truly special. âIt was one thing encouraging Priscilla and Juma Jux on their love-at-first-sight quest but it was a whole other thing convincing the Queen mother to allow a big-time Tanzanian artiste to date her only daughter,â Chioma wrote.
Chioma knew that Juma was the real deal. Her time spent with him in Rwanda had shown her a side of him that no blog or gossip could tarnish. He wasnât just smitten with Priscilla â he was a man with a good heart and solid intentions. Chioma, always the protector, had taken it upon herself to reassure Iyabo, no matter how many hurdles she faced. âI remember walking all the way from Oxford Circus to the end of Knightsbridge (almost 2 hours) trying to convince her,â Chioma recalled, laughing at the memory.
It wasnât easy. Every time Chioma thought she had convinced Iyabo, another concern would pop up â and sheâd find herself back on the phone, reassuring her. âBut Chioma,the blog said this âŚand that blog sid thatâŚâ Iyabo would say. But Chioma, always calm, would remind her, ‘You and I both know most gossip blogs are in an irate and unfounded.â It was a back-and-forth, but one Chioma was determined to win.
What Chioma didnât expect was that, despite all the doubts and the long talks, sheâd end up talking about wedding plans with Iyabo, who had her own vision for how it should unfold. As Chioma explained in her post, âWell, if sheâs gonna date him, then he better be ready to marry her.â And just like that, their conversation shifted from concerns to wedding details. What started as a small idea began to take shape â and before they knew it, they were talking about a traditional wedding in Nigeria and a possible celebration in Tanzania. Chioma laughed at how quickly the topic changed, but then realized that for Iyabo, this wasnât just a passing thought. She could feel it â this was something real.
Chiomaâs role didnât end there. She had already spoken to Juma and knew his heart was set on Priscilla. In fact, âHe told me he wanted to marry her on day 1,â Chioma said with a smile. As the months passed, what had seemed like a whimsical thought quickly became a reality. A few short months later, the wedding planning was in full swing, and what began as a casual conversation in August 2024 turned into the #JP2025 wedding that everyone now eagerly anticipates.

And in Chiomaâs words, this was all part of the blessing that had been passed to her. âI want to honour you today for the incredible human that you are,â she wrote to Iyabo, expressing her gratitude for the trust and love sheâd received. âThis wedding has truly proved how loved you are and Iâm happy that balloons are calling you blessed.â
Chiomaâs post wasnât just a celebration of a couple â it was a love letter to the people who make these stories happen. To the friends who fight for you, to the family who protects you, and to the bonds that go beyond words. As she said, she doesnât usually speak about the work she does for others, but in this case, she knew her role was too important not to acknowledge.
For Priscilla and Juma, this is a love story that will be told for years to come â but the unsung hero in the background is Chioma Goodhair, the friend who believed in love, defended it, and helped make it happen.
