    “Are you crazy? All of you cursing that woman will be affected by that curse and your home generations. Most of your mothers are worthless and can’t even be showed off,” she said partly in the Yoruba language.

    Why I want my daughter to get married early – Iyabo Ojo

    Actress Iyabo Ojo has stated that her wish is to see her daughter, Priscilla Ojo get married at a young age.

    The mother of two, while attending her daughter’s 23rd birthday party, stated that she wants her daughter to get married early.

    According to Iyabo, she gave birth to her children at a young age and wants her daughter to do the same so she can also grow with her children, like she is doing.

    She wrote: “I’m looking forward to her beautiful wedding day, 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’.”
