Reality TV star and entrepreneur Uriel Oputa has declared that she will never post her relationship online, citing the chaotic nature of the internet and its tendency to fuel unnecessary drama.
In a candid post on her Instagram page, the Big Brother Naija 2017 alumna warned her followers to hold her accountable if she ever breaks her vow.
“If I ever post my man or relationship on this app, please ban me from eating eggs and collect all my wigs,” she joked.
“Because from what I’ve seen, you people are not smiling. One small innocent family photo, next thing: ‘That last born no resemble her papa.’ Now it’s DNA test, family feud, and midnight arguments.”
She described netizens as “magical troublemakers” and added that she’s “too emotional” to handle the chaos that often follows public exposure of private relationships.
“Let me love in peace before una give me BP,” she added.
“Marriage Isn’t for Everyone” – Uriel
Uriel has previously expressed strong opinions about love, marriage, and the pressures women face in Nigerian society. In a post shared in June 2024, she reaffirmed her decision to keep her love life offline, saying:
“Marriage isn’t for everyone. If you think marriage is an achievement, that’s on you… I would never post my marriage or my partner’s full face here.”
She also pushed back against the belief that marriage must be publicly validated through social media, asking followers to consider that privacy doesn’t equal secrecy.
Past Struggles and Dating in Nigeria
Uriel has opened up in the past about the personal sacrifices she’s made — including losing several relationships while caring for her late mother, who battled dementia and a stroke.
In a 2024 interview, the 37-year-old revealed that she had made peace with her singleness and was no longer pressured by public expectations.
She echoed similar sentiments on a recent podcast, where she described the Nigerian dating scene as challenging and unstable.
“It’s hard to find a decent man in Nigeria,” she said. “We have a culture of ‘there’s always something better.’ There’s nothing better.”
Advocating for Mental Health and Privacy
Beyond reality TV, Uriel has become an outspoken advocate for mental health awareness, body positivity, and relationship privacy. Her consistent message has earned her praise from fans who appreciate her authenticity and emotional maturity.
