Tanzanian singer Juma Jux has shared the story of how he first met his wife, Priscilla Ojo, the daughter of Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo. The couple recently celebrated their Islamic traditional wedding in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, last Friday.
Their love story, however, began unexpectedly at an airport in Rwanda.
During a surprise second engagement party in Tanzania on Wednesday, Juma Jux reminisced about the first time he saw Priscilla.
He recalled missing his flight and being unable to secure a business-class seat on the next available one. He was frustrated, and as he walked past the business class section, he noticed her laughing at him.
“The first time I saw Priscilla in Rwanda, I missed my flight and couldn’t get a business-class seat because it was fully booked. I was upset, and as I passed through the business class area, I saw her laughing at me,” he said.
Although he was immediately attracted to her, Jux admitted that winning her over was a challenge. He shared that she initially played hard to get, even after taking his number.
“She took my number, and I told her to text me, but she didn’t. When we met again, I texted her, but she didn’t reply. In East Africa, I have fans, and people recognize me, but when I was around her, it felt like it was just the two of us,” he explained.
“I didn’t care about anything else because I was on a mission. I had always been careful about my brand, but with her, none of that mattered. As we kept meeting, I realized she was the woman I had been waiting for. God brought everything together at the perfect time.”
Jux revealed that their bond grew stronger with each meeting, and it wasn’t long before he knew Priscilla was the one.
