Uriel Says Many Nigerian Women Are Still Single At 35+
Former BBNaija housemate Uriel Ngozi Oputa has opened up about the struggles many Nigerian women face in finding committed partners.
Speaking during a podcast chat, Uriel said it’s now common to see women aged 35 to even 42 who are still unmarried. She stressed these women are not lacking in beauty or value.
“You see a woman in Nigeria now, she’ll be 35. Some of them are even 40, 41, 42. They’re still single. Fine, fine girls,” Uriel said with emotion. “Why? What is happening?”
“It’s Hard To Find A Decent Man”
Uriel explained that the problem is not with the women but with a growing mindset among Nigerian men.
“It’s hard to find a decent man in Nigeria,” she said plainly. “It boils down to one thing — we have a culture of ‘there’s always something better.’”
She pointed out that many men are no longer ready to settle with one woman. According to her, this habit of always chasing “the next best thing” is ruining serious relationships.
“There’s nothing better,” she said firmly. “You have to value what you have and grow with the person.”
Don Jazzy’s Comment Still Rings Loud
Uriel even brought up popular music producer Don Jazzy as an example of how this mindset is openly embraced.
She recalled, “I love Don Jazzy, right? I’m sorry to say this, but I feel like when he said that — he said something about not being able to stay with one woman.”
Though she didn’t criticise him harshly, Uriel used it as a sign of how normalised the idea has become.
“He even hails those of us who are able to. I’m not — I’m unable,” she quoted him, showing how men now joke about refusing to commit.
A Wake-Up Call For Men?
Uriel’s comments have sparked new conversations online. Many women agreed with her, saying they too feel stuck in a dating culture full of men who fear commitment.
Some even noted that it’s not just older women facing this challenge. Younger ladies, too, are struggling to find faithful and serious-minded partners.
Uriel’s honest take may be exactly what society needs to hear right now — that real love needs loyalty, not endless options.
