Stop downplaying women’s achievements because of marriage – BBNaija’s Uriel warns

Uriel Oputa, a former participant in Big Brother Naija, has issued a warning to those who diminish women’s accomplishments based on their marital status, urging them to refrain from such behavior. She expressed frustration with the prevalent belief in Nigerian society that, regardless of a woman’s achievements, she hasn’t truly succeeded unless she is married.

The 35-year-old singer criticized this flawed mindset, asserting that it undermines the achievements of women who may choose not to pursue marriage. On her Instastory, Uriel emphasized that in Nigeria, even if a woman becomes a billionaire, establishes the most successful business, or attains widespread fame, her accomplishments are often discounted if she is not married.

She described this perspective as a “very useless mindset” and urged people to stop undervaluing women’s achievements solely because of their marital status. Uriel highlighted that some women intentionally opt not to get married and emphasized the importance of respecting and acknowledging diverse choices made by women in their lives.

Newly evicted Big Brother Naija ‘No Loose Guard’ housemate, Benjamin Olufemi, known as Ben has revealed why he relocated from the United Kingdom, UK to join the show.

DAILY POST reports that Ben was evicted from the season 9 edition of the show on Sunday.

Speaking in an interview with some journalists on Wednesday, the nightlife promoter stated that he aimed to utilize the platform to promote his business.

“First and foremost, I’m not doing a 9 to 5 job. Tjay reached out to me and said let us pair together. So if I was doing a 9 to 5 or under a student’s visa, I would not have come.

“But I’m a permanent resident in the UK, so nightlife is on the weekend. I came for Big Brother to push my nightlife 100%. To sell myself. I tell people that I organise parties, and people would come to my parties.

“People now even use the tagline number, Action Ben, no party. But the most difficult part for me was I had to pay all my bills before coming.”

Big Brother Naija contestant Wanni has issued an apology to her fellow housemate, Onyeka, following a heated argument between them.

The conflict arose after Onyeka accused Wanni of gossiping about her behind her back. In response, Wanni angrily called Onyeka a “childish b*tch” and insisted that she had only spoken about her in her presence.

Wanni’s twin sister, Handi, criticized her for escalating the situation and using offensive language. Taking her sister’s advice to heart, Wanni decided to apologize to Onyeka, specifically for the derogatory term she used.

Wanni explained that she struggles with her emotions, especially when hurt by those she considers friends. She admitted that her outburst was a result of her frustration and acknowledged that her response was inappropriate.

“I got very angry, which is why I used that word,” Wanni said. “Because I consider us friends, I get very emotional when I feel hurt by my friends. I shouldn’t have reacted that way. You had every right to be upset, and I should have addressed the issue more calmly. I’m sorry for using that term and for how I spoke to you. I’m working on controlling my emotions, and I promise to do better. I don’t gossip behind people’s backs; if I have something to say, I will say it to their face.”
