Priscilla Ojo, the daughter of Iyabo Ojo, has opened up about the biggest lesson she has learned from her mother.
In an interview with media personality Jermaine, Priscilla revealed that she has never been depressed before because she comes from a lineage of strong women.
Priscilla described Iyabo as a strong woman who she had never seen cry. She learned how to be strong from her mother.
According to Priscilla, even when she is going through something, you can never see her down, as she has that strong spirit and energy.
“I wouldn’t say I was depressed at any point because I feel like we came from a lineage of strong women. I am very strong, my mum is very strong. I have never seen my mum cry. We have never had moments when we are crying. We are very strong, my mother is very strong and I learned from her. Even when I go through something, she can never see me down. We have that spirit of… that energy of not in this house. I can be on my bed crying, once she comes in, I am dancing and she knows.
But that’s the thing about my mum, when I am down she knows but you wouldn’t see her come to say sorry. She will even cheer me up to go to the club”.
I warned my mom about Baba Ijesha’s case: Iyabo Ojo’s daughter spills
Recall that weeks ago, Priscilla revealed how embarrassed she felt after her mother went live on social media in 2021 about Baba Ijesha’s case and also when she watched her mother on the “Real Housewives of Lagos” reality show.
Opening up during an interview with Stephanie Coker on her “Me, Her, & Everything Else” podcast, Priscilla Ojo disclosed that she felt bad when her mother fought dirty on live Television.
During the interview, Priscilla was asked, “How did you feel when your mother said she was going to be on The Real Housewives of Lagos?” She said:
PRISCILLA OJO: “I was so – I was so scared. Because I’m a private person regardless, and I was like Oh my god. I didn’t want her to have haters or negative comments. I didn’t know how to stand it because it would affect me. But at the end of the day, my mom is herself.
So if you like her, if you don’t like her, she’s still herself. So she’s not going to fake anything. She’s not going to do anything to make you not like her. So I was scared at first, but then I was like, Okay, just do what you have to do. You’re trying because I don’t think I can do it. Having cameras follow me every day of my life. It will be hard. But I feel like she did quite well. She did well. I was so proud.”
Priscilla Ojo speaks about her greatest embarrassment
“Was there any point in which you were embarrassed?”
PRISCILLA OJO: “You know that whole thing t”Yeah! I think it was when she got into a fight, and then she was like [shouting], I’m already used to that, but I was like, Mummy, don’t let people see this. Oh my goodness. Because when she gets angry, you’ll think she literally hates you, but that’s how she expresses herself. So I’m like, Mom, this is a family thing; don’t take it out there. So when it was out there, I was like “Oh my god”. But then, you know, everybody has their own.
“You know that whole thing that happened between Baba Ijesha and all that, I spoke to my mother, I said “Mum, don’t go live”. She said “Oh it’s fine”. When I left, she locked the room. I was like “mum!” I was calling her, she’s like “don’t call me”, she blocked my number. Cuz me I’m the calm type, I don’t like social media drama so I was like Mum, don’t do this. But I feel like she was fighting for the right cause.”
