On April 17, 2025, a joyous celebration took place as the Ojo family from Nigeria and the Mkambala family from Tanzania united for the traditional wedding of Priscilla Ojo and Juma Mkambala. The opulent ceremony occurred at the Five Palm in Oniru, Lagos, attended by numerous celebrities and prominent figures, symbolizing the final traditional rites binding the couple together as husband and wife.
Both the bride and groom adorned themselves in elegant blue and pink traditional attire, complemented by the bridesmaids and groomsmen in matching pink ensembles. The day unfolded with laughter and cherished moments as Priscilla’s parents, Ademidun and Iyabo Ojo, reconciled after years of separation to celebrate their daughter’s big day.
A particularly memorable moment was when Juma formally requested Priscilla’s hand in marriage from her family, followed by Priscilla presenting a heartfelt gift—a throw pillow bearing a picture of Juma’s late father. The couple also shared emotional dances, with Priscilla expressing love to her parents and dancing separately with each of them, while Juma danced with his sister, Fatma.
The event was well-organized, thanks to the efforts of close family friends, including actress Toyin Abraham, who assisted with guest management, as well as entrepreneur Chioma Ikwoku and social media influencer Enioluwa Adeoluwa, who attended to Priscilla’s needs.
The groom reflected on the day as a dream realized, stating, “I feel great. It is like a dream come true. I have been waiting for this day for so long.” He expressed that he knew Priscilla was destined to be his wife from their very first encounter.
Priscilla shared that they initially met in Rwanda and felt an immediate connection, remarking, “It was a very different night. We instantly felt a connection.” The couple later changed into another set of outfits, with the bride donning a stunning green and wine dress, while Juma matched her in a wine agbada, culminating in a cake-cutting ceremony filled with affection.
Adding to the festivities, the Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, entertained guests with a performance, and the couple entertained him with their customs as Juma actively learned the Yoruba language to integrate into his music. The celebration concluded with a lively after-party where they further enjoyed the company of friends.
In anticipation of this wedding, prior ceremonies included a mother’s night event, where Iyabo Ojo received blessings for her daughter. Priscilla’s bridesmaids also surprised her with a Tanzanian-themed bridal shower featuring traditional “khanga” fabric. Additionally, the couple showcased their love through a pre-wedding photoshoot in five different outfits, and Juma commemorated their union with a seven-track EP titled ‘God Design.’
Earlier, on February 7, 2025, the couple exchanged vows in a Tanzanian traditional wedding, followed by a civil wedding shortly after.
