Tanzanian singer Juma Jux has opened up about how he first met his wife, Priscilla Ojo, the daughter of Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo.
The couple recently celebrated their Islamic traditional wedding in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, last Friday.
Their love story, however, began in an unexpected way at an airport in Rwanda.
During a surprise second engagement party held in Tanzania on Wednesday, Juma Jux recounted the moment he first saw Priscilla.
He recalled that she had laughed at him after he missed his flight and was unable to secure a business-class seat on the next available flight.
“The first day I saw Priscilla in Rwanda, I missed my flight and could not get a business-class seat because it was complete. I was pissed off, and after passing through the business class section, I saw her laughing at me,” he said.
Despite being drawn to her from the beginning, Jux revealed that winning her over was not easy.
He explained that she initially played hard to get, even after taking his number.
“She took my number, and I told her to text me, but she did not. When we met again, I texted her, but she did not reply. In East Africa, I have fans, and people recognise me, but when she was around, it was just the two of us.
“I did not care about anything else because I was on a mission. I had always been mindful of my brand, but none mattered with her. As we continued meeting, I realised she was the woman I had been waiting for. God brought everything together in His perfect timing.”
Jux further shared that their connection deepened as they kept meeting, and he soon realised that Priscilla was the one for him.
