How Chioma Ikokwu Convinced Iyabo Ojo to Accept Juma Jux as Priscilla’s Fiancé: The #JP2025 Love Story

Love stories don’t get more cinematic than this—an unexpected romance between a beloved Nigerian influencer and a Tanzanian music star, a skeptical yet fiercely protective mother, and a determined mutual friend who played cupid and peacekeeper. The result? One of the most talked-about cross-border celebrity weddings of the year: #JP2025.

But this love story didn’t unfold without a bit of drama, persuasion, and a whole lot of heart. So how exactly did Chioma Ikokwu—popularly known as Chioma Good Hair—manage to get Nollywood actress and supermom Iyabo Ojo to accept Juma Jux as a suitable match for her daughter, Priscilla Ojo?

Let’s rewind and dive into the heart of this captivating tale.

A Protective Mother Meets a Persistent Friend

When Priscilla began dating Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, many fans were surprised—but no one was more cautious than her mother, Iyabo Ojo. Known for her no-nonsense approach when it comes to her children, Iyabo wasn't easily swayed by glitz, fame, or social media hype.

According to Chioma Ikokwu, convincing Iyabo was no easy feat. In fact, it took more than just a few phone calls—it took literal miles of walking and countless conversations just to chip away at the seasoned actress’s doubts.

“I remember walking all the way from Oxford Circus to the end of Knightsbridge—almost two hours—trying to convince her,” Chioma shared in a heartfelt Instagram post.

Juma Jux: The Man Behind the Music

So what made Chioma so sure Juma was the real deal?

Despite the skepticism surrounding Juma’s intentions, Chioma had firsthand experience. The two had spent time together in Rwanda, and during that trip, Chioma saw a side of Juma that the tabloids couldn’t touch—a genuinely smitten man with a kind heart and deep respect for Priscy.

“I grilled Juma enough in Rwanda,” Chioma said. “He told me on day one that he wanted to marry her.”

Fighting the Gossip, Trusting Her Instinct

Iyabo Ojo, naturally, had her reservations. With gossip blogs spreading stories like wildfire, Chioma found herself constantly on the defense.

“Every other hour, she’d call and say, ‘But Chioma, this blog said this and that blog said that,’” Chioma recalled.

But with facts on her side and faith in her friend’s love, Chioma stayed firm. She reminded Iyabo that not everything online could be trusted, and that she’d done her due diligence on Juma.

Eventually, Iyabo made a bold statement: “Well, if she’s gonna date him, then he better be ready to marry her.” To which Chioma replied, “I promise you, he will.”

Manifesting #JP2025: From Dream to Reality

What started as playful wedding planning during that very phone call in August 2024 quickly became something real. Despite Priscilla and Juma being a newly official couple, plans for a future together began to solidify.

From Iyabo insisting on a proper Nigerian introduction, to the dream of a double celebration in both countries, it was clear that this wasn’t just a fling—it was destiny unfolding.

“Iyabo is prophetic,” Chioma added. “Whatever she speaks with her mouth comes to pass just as she says it.”

Fast forward a few months, and the fairy tale is well on its way to a happily-ever-after, with fans everywhere eagerly watching as the countdown to #JP2025 continues.

The Takeaway: Love, Trust, and Sisterhood

At the heart of this story is more than just celebrity romance—it’s about trust, intuition, and the power of sisterhood. Chioma’s belief in love, Iyabo’s protective instincts, and Priscilla’s bold heart have all come together to write a chapter that feels like something out of a Nollywood script… only it’s real.
