Nollywood actress and businessman Iyabo Ojo has stated that she has paid the price for her daughter’s future happiness and has expressed a strong sense of emotional faith in the success of her daughter Priscilla Ojo’s marriage.
Speaking during Priscilla’s baby shower in Canada on Monday, July 28, Iyabo said she had gone through enough hardship and sacrifice to make sure her daughter wouldn’t experience the same marital problems and mishaps as she did.
“Your marriage will succeed,Priscilla. You and your spouse will age together because, thank God, you got married correctly. Despite the guests’ applause and tears, she remarked, “If mine didn’t work, yours will because I made that sacrifice for yours to work.”
Even in the face of tremendous scrutiny, she urged other mothers to support their children wholeheartedly and not let public opinion influence them.
“Under no circumstances would I deny my children their blessings. I have to bear the burden.

Iyabo also mentioned her own struggles with spiritual and generational issues, saying:
“You have to stop it if you want to break the so-called ancestral curses.”
Her heartfelt remembrance follows just months after videos of Priscilla’s lavish wedding went viral online, including the pair being doused with US dollars and Naira.
The extravagant event attracted the attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which invited Iyabo to be questioned after it sparked public outrage.
She subsequently acknowledged the interaction, stating that before being released, the EFCC forced her to write a statement and confronted her with wedding-related video evidence.
Iyabo Ojo is steadfast and proud of her daughter’s journey in spite of the controversy, saying she has no doubt that Priscilla’s marriage would endure, unlike her own, which ended badly.
