Priscilla Ojo, [/b]the daughter of renowned Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has responded to widespread reports and speculations regarding her father’s absence at her wedding ceremony.
Notably, Priscilla Ojo recently tied the knot with her Tanzanian fiancé, Juma Jux, in a grand Islamic wedding that was graced by numerous celebrities, socialites, and high-profile personalities from the entertainment industry.
Videos and pictures from the lavish wedding have been making rounds on social media, capturing some of the most memorable and heartwarming moments of the event. However, one major detail that caught the attention of many was the noticeable absence of Priscilla Ojo’s father.
The lack of his presence at such a significant milestone in his daughter’s life sparked conversations among netizens, with many questioning the reasons behind his absence and the nature of his relationship with Priscilla.
Amid the ongoing speculations and online debates, Priscilla Ojo has now broken her silence and addressed the matter in a recent Snapchat post. The post was shared by popular gossip blogger, Gist Lover, and featured a screenshot of Priscilla on a WhatsApp video call with her father.
In the screenshot, the caption simply read, “Daddy yo ❤️”, implying that she maintains communication with her father despite his absence at the wedding ceremony.
While some social media users have taken this as a sign that there is no bad blood between Priscilla and her father, others remain unconvinced, arguing that his physical presence at the wedding would have been more meaningful.
The controversy surrounding her father’s absence has triggered a variety of reactions from netizens. Some people have voiced their support for Priscilla, stating that she owes no one an explanation for how she chooses to handle her family matters. Others have criticized absentee fathers, asserting that those who neglect their responsibilities should not expect to be included in their children's lives during major milestones.

Fasanya Florence wrote, “Dear daughter, you owe no bloody idiot any explanation. God and your mum are always by your side. Congratulations, dear.”
Adedoyin Ajani remarked, “I pity men who abandon their children and responsibilities. An irresponsible father is as good as a dead man.”
Felicia Atotuma noted, “A father who has been absent from his child's life should remain absent during their wedding. Period!”
Kelechi Promise queried, “So why was the father not present at his daughter’s wedding? Is he crippled? His presence was essential, even if he has issues with Iyabo Ojo. What does a video call have to do with this? That’s why she’s emotional, remembering the father who refused to show up.”
As the discussions continue online, Priscilla Ojo appears to be focusing on her new journey with her husband, Juma Jux, while ignoring the criticisms surrounding her father’s absence.
