Iyabo Ojo On Fire In Defence Of Priscy And Jux

Iyabo Ojo slammed Tanzanian media personality Mange Kimambi after she criticized her daughter Priscy’s online posts, firmly defending her right to share content freely.

Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has publicly defended her daughter, Priscilla Ojo, following criticism from Tanzanian media personality Mange Kimambi.

Kimambi had taken to Instagram in a lengthy post to admonish Priscilla and her husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, over what she called “stupid content” that she claimed was distracting Tanzanians ahead of their national elections.

Kimambi further suggested that the couple stop posting for the next five months, warning that continued content sharing could lead to public resentment from Tanzanians.

In a strong response, Iyabo Ojo addressed the issue via Instagram, calling Kimambi’s remarks “intimidation” and asserting that she would not tolerate such attacks on her daughter.

“I’m appalled by your audacity! Referring to my daughter and her husband in such a manner, calling their content stupid, trying to drum fear and intimidation, this is unacceptable. As a parent, I’ve taught her to be confident and authentic. The Mkambala are very peaceful, but note I don’t joke with my daughter,” Iyabo wrote.

She also clarified cultural traditions surrounding the wedding between Priscilla and Juma Jux, which had been referenced by Kimambi.

“Regarding the wedding rumors, it’s not your government who gave us money, it’s a cultural tradition in my family, the wife’s family cover costs, I wanted an elaborate wedding for my daughter in Nigeria and we the Nigerians gave her one.”

The actress went on to criticize Kimambi’s stance as hypocritical given her residence in the United States.

“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. It’s laughable that you, living in America, think you can dictate to my daughter and her husband, who are living their lives in Tanzania.”

Iyabo ended her statement with a firm message:

“Keep my daughter out of your affairs. She’ll post what she likes, when she likes, 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…”

The exchange has sparked diverse reactions on social media, with many showing support for Iyabo Ojo’s defense of her daughter. User @mcbukiano praised Iyabo’s strength, saying, “Aura for SUPREME AURA ❤️💯🔥.” Another, @nellynells__, criticized Kimambi’s attack: “Because what is that nonsense, why didn’t she face Juma Jux, that’s their own? Unam ikot.”

Several users highlighted the defensive tone of Iyabo’s message. @koko_collectionz_ wrote, “Nice one queen mother,” while @tiiwatayo expressed admiration, “Loveeeeeeet👏.” Others pointed to the perceived disrespect from Kimambi, with @goddess_deb stating, “Very good! Clout chaser oshi.”

Many also ridiculed the idea that Kimambi, from abroad, could dictate social media behavior in Tanzania. @theperfectgiftg added, “She dragged the wrong person 😂😂😂,” and @anniesalis1 remarked, “Imagine not being in the country and bashing another that’s living in the country.. Let her come back fess and dish advice.”

Some users took a humorous stance. @aboloreeeee_ joked, “Bisi just go learn DJ abeg 😂 what’s this song😂😂,” referencing Iyabo’s style of reply. Others lamented the political distractions, with @Arsenal_rep1 stating, “That is a people that is serious, who knows what they are fighting for and not getting distracted.. Our people are not serious yet.”

However, some noted the tension between nations and cultures. @dherinsolar warned, “And that’s on Period! That Tanzanian is just an attention seeker. We will drag her by her long breasts if she misbehaves again. Radarada.”

The confrontation between Iyabo Ojo and Mange Kimambi has captured wide attention, stirring debates on social media about respect, cultural boundaries, and the role of influencers in political discourse. Iyabo’s unequivocal defense of her daughter resonated with many, while others critiqued the underlying tensions between Nigerian and Tanzanian social media communities.
