The bond between Nollywood veteran Iyabo Ojo and her daughter, brand influencer Priscilla Ojo, was on full display in a recent viral moment that has captivated social media. The heartwarming incident, which occurred on December 18, 2025, showcased the actress's selfless nature, endearing her further to fans across Nigeria and beyond.
The Setup: A Prank Call at Pulse TV
The scenario unfolded when Priscilla Ojo and her husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, visited the studios of Pulse TV for an interview. During their visit, the couple was presented with a playful challenge: to prank Iyabo Ojo with some fabricated news.
Seizing the opportunity, Priscilla called her mother and delivered the false information that Juma Jux's upcoming show in Nigeria had been abruptly cancelled. The show's date had not been publicly disclosed, adding a layer of believability to the stunt.
Iyabo Ojo's Instant and Genuine Reaction
Iyabo Ojo's immediate response was a scream of shock, followed by a flurry of concerned questions. Instead of lamenting a potential financial loss or personal disappointment, the actress's first thoughts were for the fans. She passionately asked why the show was put on hold and, most notably, expressed deep worry about "what would happen to the people who had bought tickets for the concert."
Her reaction highlighted a priority for her son-in-law's supporters, focusing on their potential letdown and wasted resources. This selfless concern became the central theme of the viral story.
Reveal and Fan Reactions: Praise for a "People's Woman"
After letting her mother vent for a moment, Priscilla revealed it was all a prank, explaining she was at Pulse TV. A relieved Iyabo Ojo laughed it off, joking that her daughter had nearly given her high blood pressure.
The video of the interaction quickly spread on Instagram, prompting an outpouring of positive comments from fans and followers. Many praised Iyabo Ojo's character, noting how her concern was directed outward.
One fan, @sudanizbabyworld, captured the sentiment perfectly: "She didn’t say after all the efforts and money spent, her first concern is about the people who spent their hard earned money to buy tickets. That’s people's woman right there. She put others before her."
Other comments, like from @niketojo, celebrated the "enviable mother-daughter bond" between Iyabo and Priscilla. The prank served not only as entertainment but as a testament to their close relationship and Iyabo Ojo's widely admired personality.
The event adds another charming chapter to the public story of Iyabo Ojo's family, following the extensive celebrations around Priscilla's wedding to Juma Jux in Tanzania. It reminds fans why the veteran actress continues to hold a cherished place in the hearts of many.
