"Sit Down for 5 Months!" – Tanzanian Media Personality Blasts Priscilla Ojo Over Her Relationship With Jux Amid Political Tension

A Tanzanian media personality has publicly slammed Nigerian influencer Priscilla Ojo and her rumored lover, Tanzanian music star Juma Jux, over what’s being described as “distracting content” amid the East African country’s growing political unrest.

In a strongly worded message making rounds online, the media personality accused the couple of posting frivolous content at a time when Tanzanians are fighting for their rights ahead of the upcoming elections.

“Priscilla, your Tanzanian in-laws love you, but Tanzania is in a fight of a lifetime. We are fighting for our rights. We need our people to pay attention to the fight, so we don’t need you and Jux to distract our people with stupid content that the government wants you guys to post,” the message read.

“We need you and Jux to sit down for the next 5 months. After the election, y’all can continue doing whatever you need to do to stay relevant, and we will support you. If you need to do kiki, take him to Nigeria and do it there.”

Tanzania’s Fight for Change

Tanzania is currently experiencing a wave of political activism ahead of its upcoming general elections.

Citizens have taken to the streets and social media, demanding better governance, electoral transparency, and economic reforms.

Amid the growing unrest, Tanzanians are calling on influencers and celebrities to use their platforms to promote awareness, not entertainment.

Who Are Priscilla Ojo and Jux?

Priscilla Ojo, the daughter of Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, is a well-known Nigerian lifestyle influencer and fashionista. She has recently sparked dating rumors with Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, with the duo constantly posting cozy moments online — from vacations to matching fits and couple content.

But while fans may enjoy the content, some Tanzanians believe it’s badly timed and deliberately distracting.

“We didn’t fight for democracy so we could be distracted by influencer couples. Respect our struggle,” a Tanzanian user wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Mixed Reactions Online

Social media reactions have been split:

Some fans defended Priscilla, saying she’s just living her life.

Others agreed with the media personality, calling on celebrities to “read the room.”

Many believe the government is allegedly using influencers to shift public focus away from national issues.

As of now, neither Priscilla Ojo nor Jux has responded to the backlash. Whether they’ll pause the public displays or keep the soft-life content coming remains to be seen.

But one thing’s for sure — Tanzanians are choosing country over clout as the 2025 elections draw closer.
