5 Cultural Shock We Noticed At Priscilla Ojo And Juma Jux’s Wedding

A beautiful blend of Nigerian and Tanzanian cultures took center stage as Priscilla Ojo, the daughter of celebrated Nollywood actress and filmmaker Iyabo Ojo, tied the knot with Tanzanian music star Juma Jux.

The sophisticated Islamic wedding, held in Tanzania, was a heartfelt celebration of love, family, and cultural fusion, with notable guests from both Nigeria and Tanzania in attendance.

However, we observed some unique cultural traditions during the ceremony that might surprise you. Here’s a list of them.

1. All the guests sat on the floor, with only the bride and groom seated on chairs.

2. All the women were richly adorned with gold jewelry. While their dresses appeared casual, the gold accents were heavily.

3. Tanzanian women often express themselves through dancing that includes hip movements.

4. Everyone is dressed modestly and covered—no flashy Asoebi styles, just traditional bubu attire.

5. Everyone wore flat slippers, and some were even barefoot. There were no shoes, not even on the bride and groom.
