Reality TV Star, Ese Eriata Tackles IG User For Judging Women Who Have Kids Out of Wedlock
Big Brother Naija star, Eriata Ese has attacked a Nigerian woman for judging women who have kids out of wedlock.
Eriata had shared a photo of herself on social media, only for the fan to query why it is becoming a norm for women to give birth out of wedlock.
Replying, Eriata wrote: “Hardworking wife, abeg try shut up and focus on your marriage. Them no dey pick husband for ground carry go house. Ndi ala cho cho cho.”
The actress further took to Snapchat to write:
“Inasmuch as marriage is a good thing, some people don’t think or wonder why a person chose a certain path,” she said. “You don’t know my past, if I’ve been abused, have trauma, or trust issues I’m healing from. You don’t know if I’m waiting for something to click before I say yes to marriage or if I’m still working on myself to be someone’s peace. Yet, people jump online to type nonsense because commenting is free.”
She condemned the societal pressure on women regarding marriage and motherhood.
“You’ll hear, ‘Once you’re 30+, just have your kids.’ When you do, they’ll ask, ‘Where’s the father?’ If you wait for marriage, they’ll say you’re too old. When love finally comes, they’ll question why the man didn’t marry a younger girl. And ironically, most of the people saying these things are women,” she said.
