“Power lies in the tongue. I used to say I want my daughter to marry early” Iyabo Ojo says as her daughter is set to marry at 23 (video)

Iyabo Ojo’s hopes for her daughter have materialised and she is now speaking about the power of spoken words. 

Priscilla Ojo, whom actress Iyabo Ojo gave birth to at the age of 23, is set to marry Tanzania singer Juma Jux, whose real name is Juma Mussa Mkambala. 

Previously, Iyabo made it clear that she wants Priscilla to be engaged at 23, which has now happened as she hoped. 

Speaking after her daughter’s engagement, Iyabo said during a live interview: “Power lies in the tongue.” 

She added that she has always said that she wants her daughter to marry early. 

A throwback video recorded in 2021 shows Iyabo Ojo telling Priscilla on her 20th birthday, that she should be engaged at 23, married at 24, and have her first child at 25 (read here).
