The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, received a special wedding invitation from Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo and her daughter, Priscilla, ahead of Priscilla’s upcoming traditional wedding to Juma Jux.
The heartfelt gesture saw the mother-daughter duo visiting the revered monarch at his palace, where Priscilla knelt before him to present the invitation. This moment, captured in a video shared on Iyabo Ojo’s Instagram, was a significant cultural display, symbolizing the importance of seeking blessings from traditional rulers during major life events, particularly weddings.
This visit is not only a personal milestone for the family but also an acknowledgment of Nigerian traditions. In the country, it’s customary for individuals, especially for major events like weddings, to pay respects to traditional leaders and seek their blessings.
