With open arms, Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo joyfully welcomed her daughter Priscilla’s Tanzanian boyfriend, Jux, to her Lagos home in grand style. This followed Priscilla’s elaborate airport reception, featuring a convoy and dancers.
Iyabo took to Instagram to warmly welcome Jux, playfully noting that “extra” is their middle name. She expressed affection for him, emphasizing he’s deeply appreciated and loved by her family, and wished him a happy birthday in advance.
Upon arrival at Iyabo’s home, an elderly woman from the family spread Ankara at the entrance, inviting Jux to drop money – a gesture typically reserved for marriage introductions in Nigerian culture. Jux joyfully obliged, respectfully greeting Iyabo.
The couple shared a kiss at the airport, and Jux was later seen enjoying Okro and Poundo yam at the dining table.
The elaborate welcome sparked debate on social media, with many criticizing Iyabo for influencing Priscilla negatively, noting Jux is just a boyfriend, not a husband. Others argued the family should allow Jux to marry Priscilla first before such a grand display.
A lawyer reacted to the viral video, emphasizing the importance of a father figure in a child’s life. Some Facebook users attributed the grand welcome to Jux’s wealth, while others saw nothing wrong with Iyabo’s family’s actions.
The debate highlights differing opinions on cultural norms, relationships, and family dynamics, with many Nigerians and fans sharing their thoughts on the matter.
