Lagos, Nigeria – October 21, 2025
Nollywood star Iyabo Ojo threw a joyful welcome party for her daughter Priscilla Ojo, son-in-law Juma Jux, and their newborn son, Prince Raheem Ayomide Mkambala, nicknamed Rakeem, as they arrived in Nigeria on Sunday, October 20.
The family landed in Lagos after spending time in Tanzania and Canada, marking their first visit since Rakeem’s birth in August. Iyabo shared the heartwarming moment on Instagram, showing a lively celebration filled with music, dance, and family love.
The surprise welcome took place at Iyabo’s Lagos home, where friends and relatives gathered to greet the trio. A live band played a Nigerian-style version of Juma Jux’s hit song “Ayo Mi Tide,” getting everyone dancing. Priscilla, holding baby Rakeem, was all smiles as she walked into the festive scene. Juma Jux, a popular Tanzanian singer, joined the fun, dancing to his own tune. Iyabo, dressed in a colorful ankara outfit, led the celebration, clearly thrilled to have her family home. “Welcome back, my loves!” she wrote online, sharing the video with her millions of followers.
Priscilla and Juma Jux’s love story has captured hearts across Nigeria and Tanzania. The couple, who met in 2024 through mutual friends, got married earlier this year in a series of ceremonies in both countries. Their Lagos wedding in April was a star-studded event, attended by Nollywood stars like Funke Akindele. Rakeem, born on August 24 in Toronto, Canada, is their first child. Iyabo traveled to Canada to support Priscilla during her pregnancy and was present for the birth, proudly stepping into her role as a grandmother.
The family recently held a naming ceremony for Rakeem in Tanzania, following Swahili traditions. Photos showed Priscilla, Juma Jux, and Iyabo in matching white outfits, celebrating with loved ones. Now, their arrival in Nigeria has sparked excitement among fans, who flooded social media with comments. “This family is goals! Rakeem is so lucky to have such a loving grandma,” one fan wrote. Another said, “Iyabo always makes everything big and beautiful!” The welcome video has already gained over 500,000 views, showing the family’s widespread popularity.
As Priscilla, Juma Jux, and Rakeem settle into life in Lagos, fans are eager to see what’s next. Iyabo has hinted at family outings and possible music collaborations for Juma Jux with Nigerian artists. For now, the Ojo household is filled with joy, with Iyabo embracing her new title as “sexiest grandma.” She shared a simple message online: “Family is everything, and our love crosses borders.” This warm homecoming is a new chapter for the growing family, blending Nigerian and Tanzanian cultures with love and celebration.
