Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has fiercely defended her daughter, Priscilla Ojo, following a controversial social media post by Tanzanian media personality Mange Kimambi.

Kimambi had taken to Instagram to criticize Priscilla and her Tanzanian husband, musician Juma Jux. She labeled their online content as “stupid” and claimed it was distracting Tanzanians from the country’s upcoming elections. Kimambi advised the couple to take a five-month social media hiatus, warning Priscilla of potential public backlash from Tanzanian citizens if they continued their online activity.

In a swift and strong response on her Instagram page on Friday, Iyabo Ojo directly addressed Mange Kimambi, issuing a warning to stay away from her daughter. The actress asserted that she would not tolerate any form of intimidation or public attack against Priscilla. The heated exchange has since generated significant discussion among fans and followers across Nigeria and Tanzania.

Iyabo Ojo’s post read, in part: “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.”

She also addressed rumors regarding her daughter’s wedding funding: “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.” Iyabo Ojo concluded with a firm statement on her principles and her daughter’s autonomy: “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. 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……..”
