Priscilla Ojo, the daughter of Iyabo Ojo, has applauded her for singlehandedly raising her and her brother without their father.
In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, she disclosed that she never felt she lacked a father figure in her life because her mother played both roles very well.
“My parents fell out of love, and my mom played the role of both parents very well. I didn’t feel like a father figure was missing”.
Earlier this year, during an interview with Pulse, Priscilla addressed her relationship with her father, revealing his name as Adeojo. Gushing over him, she described him as an amazing dad and expressed pride in having him as her father.
When she welcomed her first child, Priscy shared a sweet video of her father meeting his grandson in Canada.
While speaking on the biggest lesson she learnt from her mother, she said she had never been depressed before because she comes from a lineage of strong women. Priscilla described Iyabo as a strong woman who she has never seen cry and who has learnt how to be strong from her mother.
When Priscilla held her introduction and Nikka ceremony in Tanzania, her father was absent, which raised eyebrows. Many speculated that he was absent because he wasn’t invited, because he was allegedly a deadbeat.
Shutting the reports down, in April, Priscilla’s father had attended her traditional and white wedding, where he walked her down the aisle. At the traditional wedding, he was captured maintaining social distance with his ex, Iyabo.
Iyabo Ojo was once married to the father of her two kids, Priscilla and Festus Ojo, Mr. Ademidun Ojo. Unfortunately, the marriage packed up shortly after the birth of their two children.
Iyabo had always mentioned that after their marriage ended, her children— Festus and Priscilla— did not know she had divorced their father until Priscilla was 15.
Speaking on it, Iyabo in a podcast interview revealed that she experienced poverty for the first time when she married her now ex-husband. She described the experience with her ex-husband as an adventure for her, as she was craving attention.
While, sharing her postpartum experience, Priscilla expressed how blessed she was to come from a lineage of strong women.
