Nollywood star Iyabo Ojo turned her Lagos mansion into a scene of pure celebration as she welcomed home her daughter Priscilla Ojo, Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, and her adorable grandson Rakeem Mkambala in a grand homecoming that lit up social media and warmed fans’ hearts across Africa.
The emotional reunion, which took place on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, followed the young family’s return from Canada and Tanzania, marking baby Rakeem’s first-ever visit to Nigeria. Videos shared by the actress showed moments of hugs, laughter, and happy tears as family and friends gathered to celebrate the newest addition to the Ojo family.
Clips from the event posted on Iyabo Ojo’s Instagram page captured the proud grandmother beaming with joy as she carried her grandson. “Welcome to Nigeria, my prince @rakeem_mk,” she captioned one post that quickly went viral.
The star-studded gathering was attended by close family members and friends, featuring live music, cultural displays, and a feast that blended Nigerian and Tanzanian traditions. Guests cheered as Iyabo Ojo presented symbolic gifts to her daughter and son-in-law in a show of maternal pride and unity between both families.
The homecoming also marked a moment of cultural pride and international connection. Priscilla, who gave birth in Canada in August, had earlier joined her partner Juma Jux in Tanzania for Rakeem’s naming ceremony before finally bringing their son home to Nigeria.
Observers have hailed the event as a powerful display of African family values and love transcending borders. “This is not just a family celebration; it’s a symbol of unity between Nigeria and Tanzania,” one guest told Pulse Nigeria.
Within hours, videos from the homecoming flooded Instagram, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter), with fans praising Iyabo Ojo’s warmth and devotion as a mother and grandmother. Many applauded the actress for her elegance and the grandeur of the welcome party, while others gushed over baby Rakeem’s charm.
Celebrities including Toke Makinwa, Mercy Aigbe, and Toyin Abraham left congratulatory comments, calling the moment “beautiful” and “heart-melting.”
For Iyabo Ojo, who has built a reputation as one of Nollywood’s most influential figures, the event marks a personal milestone — a proud celebration of family, legacy, and love.
As one fan wrote online, “Iyabo Ojo has given us another reason to believe in family bonds and African motherhood. This is not just a welcome; it’s history in motion.”
The Lagos skyline may have glittered that night, but for the Ojo family, the real sparkle was at home — where three generations came together to celebrate love, lineage, and the start of something beautiful.
