Big Brother Naija Reality TV star and chef Uriel Oputa says critics questioning her single status should back off because marriage is not for everyone.

Uriel, on her Instagram page, said marriage is not an achievement, and that is the reason she does not feel any pressure from the family or the public.

The reality star said she does not need validation from social media to prove that she is married or not.

“Marriage isn’t for everyone,” said Uriel. “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?”

She added that posting her partner or relationship status on social media was a prohibition for her.

“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 men and women,” she added.

On the topic of trolls who bully people on social media, Uriel said, “Bullying doesn’t work with me. I went to an all-white school, and I was the blackest kid that ever liveth.”

She became famous after appearing in Big Brother Naija season 2 in 2017, and ever since then, she has built a successful career in various fields.
