I Will Never Place Myself In A Situation Where I’m Disrespected  – Uriel Oputa On Marriage Pressure

Nigerian reality TV star, Uriel Oputa has addressed online comments mocking her for not being married or having children.

Naija News reports that the backlash came after a social media user criticized her for remaining single, implying that her past selectiveness in relationships was catching up with her.

In response, Uriel stated that being married or having a husband does not define her.

She explained that rushing into a marriage would compromise her peace and safety, and she refused to let societal pressure dictate her personal choices.

The singer emphasized that her life, achievements, and personal growth are her priorities.

Uriel also spoke directly to other women, encouraging them not to feel behind in life because of marital status.

She wrote: “Being married or having a husband does not define me. And if I was married right now, 100%, it would have been to the wrong person, someone for whom my safety was never a priority. I am not late, and I will never rush into anything that compromises my peace.

“Especially not to impress a man who, in a holy month meant for discipline and reflection, chooses instead to tear a woman down. My life, my achievements, and my growth speak for themselves. To every woman feeling pressured, you are not behind. You are choosing yourself.

“My DMs are full. let’s start there. I’ve never been picky with men. I’ve dated, I’ve experienced, I’ve kept an open mind. The only thing I have ever been protective of is my heart. Because I am a romantic. I love deeply, fully, and with intention. And that is exactly why I will never place myself in a situation where I am not appreciated, where I am disrespected, where I am broken down by a man.”
