They had their Islamic traditional wedding in Dar es Salaam in February 2025.<\/a> That was followed by traditional and white weddings in Lagos in April. Then there was the final grand reception in Tanzania set for May 28. The theme was \u201cJP2025\u201d and it was clear from early moments that both families wanted to blend cultures and make the festivities count. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">During the final wedding reception in Dar es Salaam, Juma surprised his bride Priscilla with a Range Rover decorated with red ribbons and balloons. The gift was full of show but also full of meaning. Guests included Nollywood stars like Iyabo Ojo, her daughter Priscilla, Funke Akindele, Jaiye Kuti, Michelle Gentry and several influencers. Emotions ran high as Priscilla was visibly overwhelmed. Iyabo Ojo, the mother of the bride stood beaming. It was a display of joy, of family facing the world together. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s2\">The Birth of Rakeem Ayomide Mkambala<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_218326\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-218326\" style=\"width: 1284px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-218326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/IMG_0796.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1284\" height=\"1461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/IMG_0796.jpeg 1284w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/IMG_0796-264x300.jpeg 264w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/IMG_0796-900x1024.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/IMG_0796-768x874.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1284px) 100vw, 1284px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-218326\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Priscilla Ojo, Iyabo Ojo and Rakeem Mkambala<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On August 24, 2025, Priscilla gave birth in Canada to her first child with Juma Jux. The baby boy was named Prince Rakeem Ayomide Mkambala. Mother and son were reported to be healthy and doing well. The news was first announced by Iyabo Ojo, who shared via her social media that she was now \u201cofficially a grandma.\u201d The messages following the birth flowed in from fans, friends, family, and the universe at large. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Amid the joy there was separation. Because of visa complications, Juma Jux was delayed. He could not be present for certain moments immediately after the birth. Priscilla stayed with their new son in Canada. The days grew longer without her husband by her side, but Iyabo Ojo and those close to Priscilla, like actress Lola Alao filled the spaces with presence, prayers, and support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s2\">Reunion in Tanzania, Baby Gets Passport, Family Circles Tighten<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_218328\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-218328\" style=\"width: 1284px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-218328\" src=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/IMG_0798.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1284\" height=\"1446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/IMG_0798.jpeg 1284w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/IMG_0798-266x300.jpeg 266w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/IMG_0798-909x1024.jpeg 909w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/IMG_0798-768x865.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1284px) 100vw, 1284px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-218328\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Juma Jux, Priscilla Ojo &amp; Baby Rakeem<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">After those few weeks of distance, Priscilla and her baby traveled to Tanzania to be reunited with Juma Jux.

Iyabo Ojo was there in those frames, with other family and friends too. Support travelled across continents. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Not long after homecoming in Tanzania, there was another milestone as Rakeem got his Canadian passport.
