Reality TV star and YouTuber, Uriel Oputa, has sent a message to those questioning her single status to stay off her life as marriage is not for everyone.
The former Big Brother Naija contestant, in a post on her Instagram page, asserted that marriage is not an achievement, hence why she does not feel any pressure from the family or the public.
Uriel, a relative to seasoned musician Charles “Charly Boy” Oputa, maintained that she does not need validation from social media to prove that she is married or not.
According to the 36-year-old cooking enthusiast, posting her partner or relationship status on social media is something she will never do.
Uriel wrote; “Marriage isn’t for everyone. If you think marriage is an achievement, that’s on you. How do you know I’m not married? Do you think everyone needs validation from social media?
“I would never post my marriage or my partner’s full face here. Age-shaming and marriage-shaming is so 2018. Let’s maintain this energy and save the lives of young m3n and women”.
