Vanessa Okoye Gets Emotional As She Praises Iyabo Ojo At Pre-Wedding Event

Nigerian actress Iyabo Ojo was recently in the spotlight after touching remarks made by Vanessa Okoye, the daughter of her partner, Paulo Okoye.

The heartfelt moment took place on Thursday, April 10, 2025, during a special “Mother’s Night” celebration organized by Iyabo Ojo. The event, held in honor of her daughter Priscy’s upcoming traditional wedding to Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, brought together several women in a show of love and support.

Among the attendees was Vanessa Okoye, who openly referred to Iyabo as her stepmother, despite the actress not being officially married to her father. Vanessa, now a new mother herself, spoke fondly of Iyabo, describing her as a maternal figure who has had a significant positive influence on her life.

Overcome with emotion, Vanessa shed tears as she expressed deep gratitude and affection for the actress, thanking her for her consistent support and guidance.

“She’s a mother to everyone but I personally call her my stepmum for a reason and even though it’s not binded, it feels like it. I don’t know how to say it but Aunty Iyabo is literally like a mum to me and she has helped me with so many things, I don’t even think half of the things she’s helped with, she’s aware and I want to say, I thank you, I love you and she’s always supporting me, trust me even though she’s always like ‘my obim’, she’s always in love as we can see on social media, she’s ready to drag my father through the mud if he messes with us, and we’re his children, she would fight for us. So I want to thank you so much, I don’t want to cry but you’re an amazing woman, I love you so much.”

Vanessa also discussed Priscy’s upcoming wedding and offered prayers for their marriage to be filled with blessings.In her words:

“Priscilla my baby sister, I’m so happy for you, your house is blessed, your union is blessed.”
