Tanzanian activist Mange Kimambi has publicly issued a strong and heartfelt warning to Nigerian influencer Priscilla Ojo, urging her to remain discreet and avoid drawing attention to herself on social media amid Tanzania’s ongoing and tense political climate.
The outspoken activist directly addressed Priscilla, who is the daughter of renowned Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, in a detailed Instagram post that came shortly after Priscilla’s recent marriage to popular Tanzanian singer Juma Jux.
While Mange Kimambi expressed genuine admiration for the young Nigerian woman and acknowledged how warmly she has been embraced and accepted by Tanzanians, she drew a clear and firm boundary. Mange warned Priscilla and her husband against posting content on social media that could act as a distraction or could be perceived as undermining the critical political situation in Tanzania.
Tanzania is currently preparing for a pivotal national election, described by Mange as “the fight of a lifetime” for the country’s rights and future. She emphasised that the nation cannot afford distractions or any form of content that could detract from the focus of the Tanzanian people during this crucial period.
In her message, Mange Kimambi specifically appealed to Priscilla Ojo and Juma Jux to keep a low profile on social media for the next five months. She advised them to refrain from posting what she termed “clout-chasing” or “stupīd” content, implying that such posts might be manipulated by the government or opposing forces to sow discord or divert attention from the political struggle.
Mange Kimambi’s full warning note to Priscilla Ojo
“@its.priscy Your Tanzanian in-laws love you. You seem like such a sweet girl, and we have welcomed you into our country with open and loving arms, but Tanzania is in the fight of a lifetime. We are fighting for our rights and our future.”
“We need our people to remain fully focused on the fight, so we don’t need you and Jux to distract our people with stupīd content that the government wants you guys to post to derail us. We are on their as* and we ain’t letting up, so 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.”
“Please don’t make us hate you, our in-law. Next week, when you go to London, we need you to keep Jux in the room and refrain from posting stupīd stuff that distracts us from this fight of a lifetime. And while you’re at it, tell Jux to tell his bestie @diamondplatnumz to also lay low for the next 5 months. We know you people won’t join our fight since you enjoy the privileges our government is providing you at our expense, but kindly don’t derail our efforts.”
“If you need to do kiki, take him to Nigeria and do it there. Again, we love you, our sweet, beautiful girl, so don’t take this the wrong way. We adore you. We love Nigerians.”
