I Will Never Be In A Situation Where I Am Not Appreciated – Uriel Oputa Addresses Critics Of Her Unmarried Status 

Popular reality star Uriel Oputa has responded to critics of her unmarried status.

The former Big Brother Naija housemate emphasized that marriage is not an achievement, stating that not being married currently does not signify lateness.

She stressed that protection of her peace is important, hence her decision to take her time to settle down for the right person.

Uriel explained that she has never been selective about who to date, adding that she has only been protective of her heart due to her love for romance.

Advising her fellow women, she urged them to avoid being pressured, but focus on choosing themselves at all times.

She wrote: "Being married or having a husband does not define me. And if I were 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, and 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.”
