Priscilla Ojo 25th birthday
Every year, March 13 becomes a date that lights up Nigerian social media not just because another year has passed, but because it marks the birthday of one of the country’s most beloved young celebrity figures, Priscilla Ajoke Ojo.
This year, as Priscilla turned 25, her mother, veteran Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, made the celebration even more memorable with a deeply heartfelt tribute that had fans reaching for tissues across timelines.
In a touching post shared on her Instagram page, Iyabo addressed her daughter using her Muslim name, Hadiza, a term of endearment she has consistently used in past birthday tributes.
The actress spoke glowingly about Priscilla’s growth, describing her as a “queen” who has blossomed into a strong, resilient woman.
She praised Priscilla not just as a daughter, but as a wife, a new mother, and a thriving businesswoman trifecta that clearly fills the proud Nollywood star with joy beyond measure.
“Watching you blossom into the incredible woman you are today has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.”

From Screen Baby to Global Brand
Priscilla Ojo’s journey has been anything but ordinary.
She began acting at just three years old and landed her first major film role at age 11, appearing alongside Toyin Abraham in a Nollywood production.
By her early twenties, she had shifted gears building a powerhouse digital presence with over 4.4 million Instagram followers and collaborating with brands like Tecno Mobile Nigeria.
At 21, she boldly launched her own luxury accessories line, Priscy Luxe, a business venture that quickly gained thousands of followers even before its first post went live.
She holds a bachelor’s degree in Theatre Arts from Babcock University, proving that beauty and brains do, in fact, walk hand in hand.
Her mother has never been shy about bragging on Priscilla a year ago, Iyabo famously shared what fans affectionately called Priscilla’s “biography” on Instagram, listing out her daughter’s awards, achievements, and businesses for the world to see.
Love, Marriage and a New Baby Boy
The past year has been particularly transformative for Priscilla.
In 2025, she married Tanzanian music star Juma Jux also known as Juma Mkambala in a stunning series of ceremonies that spanned Tanzania and Lagos, drawing massive attention for their grandeur and the high-profile guests in attendance.
Their Islamic ceremony was held in February, followed by a traditional Yoruba wedding in Lagos in April, and a spectacular finale in Tanzania in late May.
Just a few months after their wedding, the couple announced they were expecting their first child together.
Their baby boy, named Rakeem Ayomide Mkambala, was born in Canada in August 2025.
Iyabo Ojo, who had flown to Canada to be with her daughter, confirmed the birth on Instagram cradling the newborn in a photo that melted hearts everywhere.
Priscilla stepping into motherhood added yet another dimension to Iyabo’s proud tribute this year, with the actress noting how incredibly full her heart is watching her daughter now nurture a family of her own.
Fans Flood the Comments with Love
As expected, the comment section under Iyabo’s birthday post quickly became a digital celebration of its own. Well-wishers, fans, and fellow celebrities flooded in with prayers and messages for the birthday girl.
Many called Priscilla a “woman of substance,” while others prayed for continued blessings over her marriage, her baby, and her business empire.
Some fans also took the moment to applaud Iyabo for raising such a grounded and accomplished daughter, describing the mother-daughter duo as one of Nollywood’s most inspiring relationships.
There is something undeniably special about the bond between Iyabo Ojo and Priscilla. In an industry often marked by complicated personal stories, their relationship stands as a testament to love, open communication, and mutual respect.
Iyabo has been present at every milestone from cheering on Priscilla’s relationship with Juma Jux, to flying across continents to hold her first grandchild.
25 and Unstoppable
At 25, Priscilla Ojo has already achieved what many spend a lifetime working towards a loving marriage, a beautiful child, a thriving business, and the adoration of millions.
As she steps into this new chapter, the words of her mother ring truest: she is, without question, a queen in every sense of the word. And if the last few years are anything to go by, the best of Priscilla Ojo is still very much ahead of her.
Happy 25th birthday, Priscy. Nigeria celebrates you.
