Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has responded to Tanzanian media personality Mange Kimambi, who advised her daughter, Priscilla Ojo, and husband, Juma Jux, to stay off social media during Tanzania’s political unrest.
KanyiDaily recalls that Mange Kimambi had asked the couple to avoid sharing attention-grabbing content for the next five months so as not to distract citizens during a critical political period.
Reacting on her Instagram page, Iyabo Ojo called out Mange for what she described as a disrespectful and intimidating message.
The actress said it was wrong for Mange to label her daughter’s posts as “stupīd” or to speak as though Priscilla Ojo and Juma Jux were tools for distraction.
Iyabo also cleared the air on the couple’s wedding celebrations, saying they were funded entirely by the bride’s family and had nothing to do with any government support.
Priscilla’s mother, who also identifies as an activist, emphasized that activism should be rooted in principles, not personal attacks.
She wrote, “I’m appalled by your audacity! Referring to my daughter and her husband in such a manner, calling their content stupīd, and trying to drum fear and intimidation is unacceptable. As a parent, I’ve taught her to be confident and authentic”.
“Regarding the wedding rumours, it’s not your government that gave us money; it’s a cultural tradition in my family”.
“I’m an activist, and as one, I stand by my principles and fight for what I believe in, without insulting anyone or targeting anyone. True leadership requires presence and courage”.
“Keep my daughter out of your affairs. She’ll post what she likes, when, and how she likes. She doesn’t need you to love her. She is very loved and well-loved,We protect our own. Never forget that”
KanyiDaily recalls that Juma Jux recently pulled off a big surprise for his new wife, Priscilla Ojo, during their final wedding, by gifting her a new range rover during the ceremony.
