While the world, including Wall Street are still reeling from the epoque wedding of Tanzanian artiste and Priscilla, daughter of Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, the later has revealed how fashion icon, Chioma Ikoku played a pivotal role in the live story.
The adorable couple stole the hearts of many last Thursday as they exchanged vows before the world, family, friends and well-wishers at a colourful ceremony in Lagos.
But it’s almost impossible to have a fairytale wedding of that magnitude without Cupid having a hand in it.
In this case, it played out in the role of Nigerian businesswoman Chioma Ikokwu, popularly known as Chioma Goodhair, in bringing the couple together. She shared their unique love story on Instagram.
As she puts it, encouraging the bride and groom on their love-at-first-sight quest was one thing, but convincing Queen Mother Iyabo Ojo to allow a big-time Tanzanian artiste to date her only daughter and prized possession was another.
“We didn’t have any Tanzanian ties, nor had we been there. It all just seemed so far-fetched. But the little time I spent around Juma in Rwanda was enough for me to know that he was a good man with a good heart, and Priscy smote from the jump.
“It wasn’t easy convincing Iyabo. I remember walking from Oxford Circus to the end of Knightsbridge (almost 2 hours), trying to convince her. And after that, she would call every other hour saying, ‘But Chioma, this blog said this, and that blog said that’,” she said.
