Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has finally broken her silence on why he allowed her estranged husband, Ademidun Ojo, to attend their daughter’s wedding.
It would be recalled that Priscilla Ojo, a social media influencer, tied the knot with a Tanzanian singer, Juma Mkambala, better known by his stage name Juma Jux, in April 2025, with multiple ceremonies held in Lagos and Tanzania.
Speaking on The Morayo show, hosted by foremost Nigerian broadcaster Morayo Afolabi-Brown, the 48-year-old actress said her choice was influenced by her belief in ancestral patterns and a desire to break them.
According to Iyabo Ojo, her parents were divorced, she was also a divorcee, and she did not want her children to experience the same.
The mother of two stated that she had resolved that whatever challenges she faced in her own marriage would not affect her children.
Speaking further, she noted that since her daughter’s father is alive, there was no reason he should not be present at the wedding.
She, however, said that the issues between her and her ex-husband had nothing to do with their daughter, and he had not wronged the child.
“So I don’t know there’s something called ancestral curses, and we Africans believe it. I believe if you don’t want something to continue, you have to be able to break it.
“I made up my mind that whatever situation had happened caused my dad, my mom, also, you know, were not together- yeah, every mistake they had made that I have made, my children will not make it.
“I have paid the price for her to succeed, for her to be happy in her marriage; her father is not dead; he’s alive, so why can’t he be there.
“He didn’t wrong her; he and I fell out, and it has nothing to do with her,” she said.
