Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has revealed that she would like her daughter, Priscilla, to get married at a young age, but Priscilla is not interested in discussing marriage.
Iyabo, who was celebrating Priscilla’s 23rd birthday, praised her for being hardworking and achieving more than she had hoped for before marriage.
She looks forward to Priscilla’s wedding and grandchildren, as she has excelled in her career and business.
Priscilla, however, avoids talking about marriage, and Iyabo respects her daughter’s wishes and does not pressure her.
She said, “I’m looking forward to her beautiful wedding day, having babies, I just wish her all the best and I love her. One good thing about Priscilla is that she’s very hardworking and she started at a very slow pace, and I know it’s an age thing but now when I tell her ‘Priscilla you need to…’ she’s already ahead of everything I even want to talk to her about. And for me, I’ve always said don’t take away the ‘hood’ from the child, allow the child to grow and be themselves.
“I don’t like to put my children under any pressure at all so I allow them to be them. She’s doing well, she’s a brand influencer, she is gradually going back into acting, she runs her business, her clothing line, her bag line, so she’s doing good, she’s there. The only thing I’m waiting for now that she doesn’t want to hear me talk about is marriage.
“I had Priscilla when I was her age, 23, and I reminded her but she was like ‘Mummy that was your time, everybody is different’. I was like ‘You’re a graduate, you have a successful business, you’re doing fine’, she’s like ‘Mum, please! No rushing’.”
