Priscilla Ojo, daughter of Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, has returned to Tanzania with her newborn son, Rakeem Mkambala, where her husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, gave them a grand welcome. The homecoming coincided with the day Rakeem turned one month old.
In a series of videos shared on Wednesday by a popular fan page, the_prisjuxsourcee, Juma Jux was seen warmly receiving his wife and son at the airport with fresh flowers and gifts.
Upon their arrival home, Priscilla was surprised with an elaborate blue-themed welcome party featuring balloons, framed photos, and a banner reading “Welcome Home Mommy and Rakeem.” A large standee spelling “RAKEEM” completed the décor.
Iyabo joined the celebration and playfully teased her son-in-law.
“Juma, you are so extra. What happened? Rakeem is actually one month old,” she said.
Juma proudly replied, “My son. Yes. My first son.”
Iyabo admired the gesture, responding, “This is so beautiful.” Even Priscilla was moved, exclaiming, “Oh my God, Papa Rakeem is extra.”
The family had earlier faced a challenge when Juma Jux was denied a Canadian visa and could not be in Canada during his son’s birth due to what reports linked to strict immigration scrutiny. Despite his absence, he marked the reunion with a lavish celebration in Tanzania.
Rakeem, born in August in Canada, recently received his Canadian passport, confirming his citizenship, a development Iyabo Ojo proudly shared on social media.
Priscilla and Juma Jux, who got married in Tanzania in February, shared clips of the homecoming on their Instagram story.
Priscilla posted a photo captioned “Home,” while Juma uploaded a short video featuring baby Rakeem and Iyabo Ojo, adding to the outpouring of congratulations online.
The celebration has been widely praised on social media, highlighting the couple’s joy and commitment as they embrace parenthood.
