In a social media wave that’s stirred up a storm across Facebook and beyond, popular Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has been praised by a fan for allegedly guiding her daughter, Priscilla Ojo, away from her close friendship with influencer Enioluwa and towards a romantic relationship with Tanzanian singer Juma Jux—what the fan called a “proper man.” The comment, which was dropped by a Facebook user who goes by the name “Democratic Evangelist,” has gone viral, igniting heated discussions and raising eyebrows across the entertainment space.

In his lengthy and opinionated post, the user hailed Iyabo Ojo as the true heroine in what he described as a dramatic shift in Priscilla’s love life. According to him, Iyabo should be applauded for not allowing Enioluwa’s “fanfare” and public closeness with her daughter to interfere with Priscilla’s romantic future. He praised her for “painstakingly” guiding Priscilla into the arms of Juma Jux, a man he labeled as possessing the qualities of a real husband—one who can “protect, provide, and direct.”

“Above all, Iyabo Ojo is the one to be applauded for not allowing Eni’s fanfare around her daughter interfere in her choice of husband. She painstakingly guided her daughter to a path which ultimately looks promising with a masculine man who’s ready to provide, protect and direct her daughter—not a crying baby like Eni who’s only antics was to fantasize around her daughter with no guts, agility, manly presence and boldness,” he wrote.

The post didn’t stop there. The fan launched into a full-on critique of Enioluwa, calling him a “90 minutes plus extra time Simp” and accusing him of using a façade of friendship to position himself romantically toward Priscilla. According to the user, Eni had hoped to be considered for marriage through his close friendship with her, but was “simply denied access” because he “wasn’t man enough.”

“Eni thought he would be considered to marry Priscilla by faking friendship, but even the girl was smart enough to know that this is not the man for her,” the post continued. “Everyone will always want to marry their best friend, Eni is above thirty so finding friendship in a girl at that age—what then is remaining? Why will you allow another guy to come all the way from Tanzania and snatch your best friend from you?”

The Facebook commentator accused Enioluwa of lacking the boldness and masculine presence needed to be seen as a potential partner, and argued that his only play was to “pretend” to be just a friend. The post concluded with a dramatic take: “If a woman deny you, move immediately. Infact act as if you’ve never known her before. The indices of friendship must return to zero.”

Though the origin of Priscilla and Juma Jux’s relationship remains unconfirmed by either party, the internet has long speculated about the nature of her connection with both men. Priscilla and Enioluwa have for years maintained a very public friendship that was both celebrated and scrutinized by fans. They appeared in numerous skits, social media photos, and events together—sparking recurring rumors that they were more than just friends. Both parties, however, consistently insisted that their bond was platonic.

But the recent cozy appearances of Priscilla with Juma Jux, a well-known Tanzanian musician and ex-boyfriend of singer Vanessa Mdee, have reignited public interest. Fans have noticed the increasing warmth between them in posts, sparking talk that the friendship with Enioluwa may have been outgrown—or replaced. In the wake of this, the fan’s viral Facebook post has added a fresh, dramatic lens through which many are now reinterpreting the trio’s dynamic.

The post has drawn a flood of reactions, with many divided in opinion. While some netizens agree with the idea that Priscilla deserves a partner who exudes strength and maturity, others have criticized the tone of the message, calling it unnecessarily harsh toward Enioluwa, who remains a beloved figure among Gen Z Nigerians for his humorous content and fashion sense.

“He’s just a content creator doing his thing. Why drag his masculinity into this?” one commenter asked. “Friendship is not a weakness. Not every close male-female friendship must end in marriage.”

Others sided with the fan, suggesting that Enioluwa might have harbored deeper feelings but lacked the courage to make them known. “This one touched a nerve,” a user wrote. “But real talk, sometimes you miss your shot while pretending to be ‘just friends.’”

Some questioned whether Iyabo Ojo had any real role to play in her daughter’s relationship choices at all. “We’re not in the 1800s. She’s an adult. Why are we acting like her mother is matchmaking her?” one skeptic posted.

Despite the mix of support and criticism, one thing is clear—the online community is deeply invested in Priscilla’s personal life, and the speculation isn’t going away anytime soon. Whether she’s with Enioluwa, Juma Jux, or someone else entirely, the attention surrounding her relationships speaks to the immense scrutiny faced by public figures and their families.

Iyabo Ojo, for her part, has remained silent on the matter, choosing not to respond to the viral post or the numerous comments that have followed. Known for being fiercely protective of her children, Iyabo has in the past expressed pride in Priscilla’s independence, beauty, and business sense. But with this new wave of attention, fans are waiting to see whether she’ll weigh in or let the public continue to speculate.

As for Enioluwa, he too has not responded directly to the viral commentary, continuing to post his usual humorous content and fashion photos without addressing the issue. But fans will surely be watching his every post for subtle hints or reactions.

Whether this saga is a case of unspoken love, overprotective parenting, or simple internet drama, it has certainly taken hold of the entertainment gossip cycle—and doesn’t seem to be letting go anytime soon.
