Nigerian actor and social media sensation Kamo has sparked a wave of reactions online after making a bold revelation about the amount of money he packed at the recent wedding ceremony of Priscilla Ojo, daughter of Nollywood star Iyabo Ojo. The glamorous event, which took place over the weekend, has been the talk of the town not just for its opulence and star-studded guest list, but for the extravagant display of wealth that unfolded throughout the night.
In a video now trending across social media platforms, Kamo—known for his comic skits and vibrant personality—was seen flaunting wads of cash which he claimed to have picked up during the wedding celebration. Speaking with a blend of excitement and awe, the actor didn’t hesitate to express his amazement at the sheer volume of money that was in circulation during the ceremony. Holding up bundles of naira notes to the camera, Kamo stated, “This is a drop of water in the ocean.”
His choice of words has since become a catchy phrase online, symbolizing the sheer abundance of cash that flowed during Priscilla’s wedding. Viewers were quick to latch onto the statement, with many quoting it in memes, tweets, and TikTok videos. For some, it’s a humorous take on the lavish nature of celebrity weddings; for others, it’s a deeper reflection of the widening economic gap between everyday Nigerians and the country’s elite.
Kamo’s candid display has also fueled renewed interest in the celebrity wedding, which was already making headlines for its luxury aesthetics and high-profile attendees. The event, held at a top-tier venue in Lagos, saw an outpouring of love and celebration from the entertainment industry’s most prominent figures. From A-list actors and musicians to influencers and fashion icons, the guest list was a blend of glitz and glamour. And so was the atmosphere—festive, luxurious, and dripping in wealth.
While the bride, Priscilla Ojo, has often been known for her style and public image, the wedding marked a new level of public attention. Her mother, Iyabo Ojo, spared no expense in giving her daughter a fairy-tale celebration, complete with custom décor, multiple outfit changes, gourmet meals, live music performances, and endless cash spraying that many described as “money rain.”
It was amidst this abundance that Kamo found himself, clearly taken aback by the sheer magnitude of the celebration. His remarks about the money he picked up have added a layer of relatability to the event. Many social media users praised him for his honesty, joking that he “went for the wedding and came back with capital.”
But not everyone has taken the statement lightly. A section of online users has criticized the public display of wealth, especially during a time when many Nigerians are grappling with inflation, high living costs, and economic uncertainty. “Imagine flaunting this kind of money while people can’t even afford three square meals,” one user commented. Another wrote, “This is why we say Nigeria is not poor—it’s just that the money is not evenly distributed.”
Still, Kamo has remained upbeat about the experience. In follow-up posts, he clarified that he wasn’t trying to brag but simply expressing his astonishment at how much generosity and wealth was on display. He maintained that such moments are rare and unforgettable, especially for those who aren’t regularly exposed to that level of affluence.
Priscilla’s wedding itself has also become a cultural moment, marking a milestone not just for her but for her mother, Iyabo Ojo, who has publicly shared her journey of raising her children as a single mother. The wedding was seen by many as a testimony to her resilience and success in both motherhood and career. While the celebrations were extravagant, fans and well-wishers have applauded Iyabo for giving her daughter a wedding to remember.
As the dust settles on the ceremony, Kamo’s viral statement continues to echo across social media. “This is a drop of water in the ocean” has taken on a life of its own—used now to describe situations where something appears vast, limitless, or simply beyond imagination. Whether it’s in reference to money, luxury, or even the unpredictable nature of Nigerian celebrity culture, the phrase seems to capture a sentiment that resonates deeply with many.
Kamo’s moment has also brought him a fresh wave of attention, with followers praising his humor, authenticity, and charisma. Several fans have even urged him to turn the now-viral phrase into a brand or merchandise line, suggesting T-shirts, hats, or even skit series themed around the quote.
In a country where weddings often serve as public displays of status and achievement, Priscilla Ojo’s wedding—and Kamo’s account of it—has further highlighted how these events are evolving into cultural spectacles. While not everyone will agree on the message such opulence sends, there’s no denying that for a brief moment, the country was united in awe, laughter, and reflection over what it means to celebrate in style.
Whether you see it as a light-hearted comment, a critique of wealth disparity, or a humorous observation of Nigerian celebrity life, Kamo’s words have undoubtedly left a lasting impression. And for those wondering just how much money was actually packed at the event, perhaps it’s best to take Kamo’s word for it: what we saw was just a drop in a very deep, very sparkling ocean.
