Tanzanian Activist Cautions Priscilla Ojo Over Social Media Posts Amid Political Tensions
Tanzanian activist Mange Kimambi has urged Priscilla Ojo to pause social media activity, citing the nation’s tense political climate.
She advised the newlywed and her husband Juma Jux to avoid distractions as Tanzania prepares for crucial elections.
As Tanzania enters a politically sensitive period ahead of crucial national elections, outspoken activist Mange Kimambi has called on Nigerian influencer Priscilla Ojo to scale back her presence on social media.
Priscilla, daughter of Nollywood star Iyabo Ojo, recently tied the knot with Tanzanian singer Juma Jux. Their marriage has captivated audiences across both Nigeria and Tanzania, with fans eagerly engaging with the couple’s romantic content online. However, Kimambi believes the timing of their public displays of affection could be distracting amid the country’s heightened political climate.
The activist, who has long been vocal about civic issues in Tanzania, took to Instagram to share her concern about how celebrity content could unintentionally overshadow ongoing efforts to mobilize citizens around electoral participation and social change. Her appeal was directed not just at Priscilla, but also at Juma Jux and his close associate, fellow music star Diamond Platnumz.
Kimambi’s message stressed the importance of national focus as citizens prepare to vote, suggesting that public figures refrain from posting content that could be perceived as trivial or tone-deaf in the current context. She emphasized that while celebratory moments like weddings are meaningful, this may not be the right time to amplify such narratives online.
Her statement has ignited a wave of reactions online, with some applauding her for defending the nation’s political priorities, while others argue that individuals regardless of their status should not be pressured to pause personal expressions of happiness.
The discussion has drawn a line between those advocating for a unified national mindset during a pivotal electoral season and others who believe in separating personal milestones from political activism. As debates continue, the couple has not yet issued any public response, and their fans remain divided on the matter.
With political awareness growing in Tanzania, Kimambi’s message underscores the complex intersection of social media influence, celebrity culture, and national responsibility. Whether or not her plea leads to any change in online behavior, it has undeniably sparked broader conversations about timing, sensitivity, and the power of digital platforms in shaping public discourse.
