The Reason I Want My Daughter, Priscilla, To Marry At Young Age – Iyabo Ojo
Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has made known her intention for her daughter, Priscilla Ojo, to get married at a young age.
The celebrity-mother of two, at the event of the celebration of her daughter’s 23rd birthday, on Wednesday, 13th March, 2024, expressed her desire on the fact that she wants her daughter to get into marriage at young age..
Iyabo recalled how she got married at a young age and had her daughter, Priscilla, at a young age.
Thus, she wants her daughter to take after her in the aspect of getting married at a young age, so she can as well grow with her children, just as she has been doing with Priscilla and her sibling, Festus.
The confident mother went further to say that she is anticipating that her daughter, Priscilla, gets married at young age and start having children – as she also highlighted that her daughter has remarkably done well in the aspect of career and business.
Iyabo Ojo also said that Priscilla always avoids questions concerning marriage, but she is not a mother that will pressurize her daughter to get married.
In Iyabo words: “I’m looking forward to her beautiful wedding day and having babies. I just wish her all the best and I love her. One good thing about Priscilla is that she’s very hardworking and she started at a very slow pace and I know it’s an age thing but now when I tell her ‘Priscilla you need to…’ she’s already ahead of everything I even want to talk to her about.”
“And for me, I’ve always said don’t take away the ‘hood’ from the child, allow the child to grow and be themselves. I don’t like to put my children under any pressure at all so I allow them to be them. She’s doing well, she’s a brand influencer, she is gradually going back into acting, she runs her business, her clothing line, her bag line, so she’s doing good, she’s there. The only thing I’m waiting for now that she doesn’t want to hear me talk about is marriage.”
“I had Priscilla when I was her age, 23, and I reminded her but she was like ‘Mummy that was your time, everybody is different’. I was like ‘You’re a graduate, you have a successful business, you’re doing fine’, she’s like ‘Mum, please! No rushing’.”
“I had Priscilla when I was her age, and I want her to marry early too, so she can grow with her children like me” – she added.

Actress Patience Ozukor: I Rejected The Name-Tag ‘Liz Benson of Enugu’ On Me, To Have My Own Name-Tag ‘Patience Ozukor’
Nollywood veteran actress, Patience Ozokwor, has disclosed and talked about how people tried to impose titles and name-tags on her at the beginning of her career and how she handled it.
The veteran actress said when she began her acting career, people tried to compare her with legendary actress, Liz Benson, by tagging her as ‘Liz Benson of Enugu’ but she rejected the tag because she believes they are both unique.
She disclosed that she also rejected suggestions to answer her husband’s first name as her surname and instead chose to bear his family name.
She actually disclosed this in an interview session via a media platform.
Her words: “I don’t know how it started, all I know was that when I started my acting career and people started recognizing this woman from Enugu.”
“So, there was a time I came to Lagos for a shoot and people started saying, ‘That’s her, this woman from Enugu.’ They said, “You’re the ‘Liz Benson of Enugu.”
“I said, ‘No, with all due respect, I don’t want to be like Liz Benson, I want to be myself. I am ‘Patience Ozokwor of Enugu’.”
“And some people came and said, ‘You don’t even need to answer Patience Ozokwor again. Answer your husband’s first name Edmund; Patience Edmund.’
“I said, ‘No, because in Igbo land, you’re not just married by one man, you’re married by a family. I don’t know about other tribes.”
“So, my husband’s people, their name is Ozokwor. When you mention Ozokwor in any part of this world, people who know the Ozokwors would say ‘I know where she comes from’,” she concluded.
