Funke Akindele has officially arrived in Tanzania to join the star-studded final wedding celebration of Priscilla Ojo and Tanzanian music star Juma Jux, adding more shine to what has already been dubbed Africa’s celebrity wedding of the year. The Nollywood powerhouse touched down ahead of the May 28, 2025, event and was greeted with fanfare at the Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam.
The actress, filmmaker, and box office queen didn’t travel quietly—fans, paparazzi, and local media captured her elegant arrival, with many praising her for showing support to the daughter of fellow actress Iyabo Ojo. Her presence further underscores the deep ties among Nollywood royalty and highlights the Pan-African nature of the celebration.
Funke, known for her impeccable fashion choices, didn’t disappoint. She arrived draped in a custom ankara travel outfit with soft glam makeup, posing gracefully for photos before entering a black SUV provided by the hosts. Her arrival instantly began trending across X (formerly Twitter), Threads, and Instagram with hashtags like #FunkeInTanzania and #JP2025.
The wedding, which unites Nigerian and Tanzanian entertainment royalty, has already drawn major names from both industries. Enioluwa, Mercy Aigbe, and Toyin Abraham were spotted at the pre-wedding dinner on Tuesday, while several Bongo Flava stars have confirmed their attendance for the main event at the lakeside venue in Dar es Salaam.
Iyabo Ojo, visibly emotional in several pre-event clips, has shared behind-the-scenes footage of the bridal party preparing for the grand finale. As mother of the bride, she expressed gratitude to Funke Akindele and others for traveling across borders to celebrate her daughter’s milestone.
Priscilla Ojo, a rising fashion entrepreneur, and Juma Jux, a chart-topping artist, have captured fans’ hearts with their love story — one that bridges not only families but cultures and nations. Their #JP2025 celebration is being hailed as a beautiful fusion of tradition, stardom, and African excellence.
With Funke’s arrival now setting off another wave of media attention, the wedding finale is expected to draw record online engagement across Nigeria, Tanzania, and the diaspora. All eyes are now on May 28 for the grand ceremony that’s about to make African pop culture history.
