Nollywood actress and proud mother of two Iyabo Ojo couldn’t hold back her tears at her Mother’s Night party on Thursday.
It is no longer news that Priscilla Ojo, the actress’s second child, is set to marry her Tanzanian boyfriend, Juma Jux, on April 17th, which is in a week.
Ahead of the wedding, Iyabo was treated to a surprise Mother’s Night party to celebrate her efforts on behalf of her children. In clips making rounds online, her colleagues Mercy Aigbe, Toyin Abraham, Kemi Korede, Sikiratu Sindodo, and others were in attendance.
One of the party’s highlights was when Iyabo Ojo got emotional on the dance floor. In the clip, the mother of two was captured breaking down in tears as her friends serenaded her.
The video left many emotional as they took to the comment section to praise the actress.
Olayinka Solomon wrote, “What every mother must experience. May we live long to witness the goodness of our children? Amen

One Rajiaminat5 wrote, “She deserves every good thing because she is a very good person”.
Iyabo is undoubtedly deserving of the Mother’s Night party over her efforts of her two children. Just a few days back, her bestie and colleague, Toyin had poured praises on her. She revealed that she had seen Iyabo’s struggles and pains and how she brought up her children with fear of God. She noted how when people drag Iyabo it’s because of her fighting and standing up for others.
Two years back, Iyabo shared her painful experiences of surviving as a single mother and being treated as a second-class citizen due to her failed marriage. Iyabo recounted how people called her all manner of names because of her failed marriage both in the movie industry and the world at large.
Recall that in March, 2024, Iyabo revealed her desire for Priscilla to follow her footstep by getting married at a young age and having kids. The mother of two stated that Priscilla always avoids questions about marriage, but she isn’t the type to put her child under pressure.
Luckily for her, her desire came to pass as in August, Priscilla brought the Tanzanian singer to Nigeria for his birthday, where she and her family sweetly welcomed him. Her actress mother had ushered him into the Ojo family, noting how extra was their middle name, as she declared her love for him.
In an interview with Biola Bayo, early this year, the mother of two had revealed why she always wanted her daughter to get married early and praised her soon-to-be son-in-law, who she stated was a family-oriented guy.
