Nollywood actress, Sylvia Ukaatu has expressed her thoughts on women and marriage.
In an Instagram post, the single mother of one advised women to find a shield over themselves, which she believes can be found only from man.
“We are not complete without a man, get yourself a shield over you even if it takes being someone’s 2nd ,3rd.women be married.”, she wrote.
YabaLeftOnline recalls that last month, the actress revealed that she can no longer get married because she took a blood oath with a man when she was younger.
“It all started when I was 18 years old. I fell in love, deeply in love. I was so carried away at that tender age. I was lured into a blood oath with my then lover. I never knew the repercussions behind such a move. I was only young, naïve and in love. We played along.
“I was happy. I was planning to settle down. Until love became sour. I tried to walk away, I begged to be freed but the guy refused, so I kept to myself and started living life to the fullest.
Even when he traveled out of the country, I encountered so many failed relationships without knowing what was behind it. Suitors were coming but on the day of the introduction, they would cancel.
“I waited for many years for him to come back. But it never happened. I desperately needed to start a family, but that wasn’t forthcoming. I tried so many relationships, but they all failed.
Even when friends asked me why I am not into any serious relationship, I would assure them that I have someone that whenever he gets back to Nigeria, we would get married.
I never knew it was just a mere dream. It affected me in so many ways, my life, my career, at a point, I had to open up to my family, she said amidst uncontrollable tears.

Nigerian Singer and producer, Cobhams Asuquo, has offered a deep prayer for Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo.
Cobhams took to his Instagram page last night to pray for God’s strength upon the life of the VP.
Sharing a photo of Osinbajo, Cobhams wrote;
Today, I pray for our Vice President: May the Almighty God bless @profosinbajo May God uphold him, strengthen him and see him through the good and the bad. May the Almighty God blind the forces of darkness that seek to tarnish his good name. I must admit that in the past, even I have judged him harshly, failing to remember the man I had looked up to for so many years as an aspiring lawyer and erroneously lumping him along with a corrupt political class. I admit now that I did so in ignorance. His’ is one rare instance where the office is blessed with a honorable man, more than qualified to hold a political office in Nigeria. The Lord God Almighty will fight for you and you will hold your peace. The Lord God Almighty will vindicate you and deliver Nigeria from the clutches of any evil person or persons with an evil agenda. Nigerians will prosper. We will stand together, united in love against the forces of darkness and division that have sought to tear us apart for so many years. It is not a question of if we were ever meant to be; it is the fact that we now are and that we owe it to ourselves to rise above the powerful voices of disunity. We also owe it to ourselves, in our most quiet moment, to pray for this man. God bless Nigeria. #GodBlessNigeria #Nigeria #Prayer #VicePresident #Patriot #Love #Honour #Truth #Greatness

“If I leave it any longer and I don’t meet anybody anytime soon, she won’t remember my child,” said the BBNaija star who has been celibate in almost four years. She wants a traditional family but fears this may take a long time to accomplish, and by that time her mother’s health would have deteriorated.
“Even if I were to introduce my child to my mum, and she’s at her later stages of her illness, no connection, she will just… nothing. She’s already on her way out. And that made me angry. It made me angry.”
She continued, “I’ve never questioned religion in any way and I never will question religion… never question God, but I question my morals and for me that was deep. I question my morals in the sense of, I said to myself, ‘what if I wanted to have a child in order for my child and for me to give my mum the chance to have a connection with my child before she goes? Because my mum is going to forget the memories that we cherished together.”
The reality TV star broke down in tears, recalling her favorite moments with her mum. “And she’ll forget all of that. She’ll forget my name. So while she’s still there just a little bit, would it be such a bad idea for me to have a child? And that thought crossed my head and I was like, ‘no no no. It’s not culturally… It’s not right culture-wise. People might look down at me. People might say, ‘you’re wrong’, ‘I hate you’ or ‘you’re setting a bad example’.
“So in what situation does a situation become morally right.”

Timmy K
In her words ;
“Some day, I want to reach out to people like me. Ladies who go into prostitution because they are orphans. People who steal because they are orphaned. My story is a bitter one.
I pray God gives me the chance and keep me alive to talk about it, so I can inspire and warn others too. From the age of 9, till now, I have been struggling. I want my voice to be heard. I want to tell my story to every one out there.
My marriage became an abuse for years. I also went into depression and was rushed to the hospital,” she recalled.
“I don’t think I want to give marriage another chance, because my marriage experience is very bitter.
I have been abused and I kept enduring. I want to move on with my career for now, but you never can tell. I might fall in love. And if I would eventually get married again, it would be a man within my age bracket, not an old man, like I did before. Not marry an old man because of money. I married a grandfather.
Talking about Regina Daniels, I was same age when I got married to an old man (my ex).
I don’t think her mother, Rita Daniels influenced her decision. The person that should be blamed is the manipulative husband because this is exactly what happened to me. Old men are always using money and affluence to manipulate young girls and they fall for it. I was a victim too.
Regina fell for the money, I was an orphan and I feel for an old man because of his wealth and affluence. I am still stuck in this, because its hard to pull out.”
Aishatu Mohammed, wife of Bauchi Governor, Bala Mohammed has revealed that she had no formal education when she married her husband.
The first lady said ;
“I was 16 years old and a stark illiterate when I married my husband. We were 100 girls in our family; none went to school; I only started school after my third child,” she said.
“We were 100 girls in my family, but none of us had formal education; I had never been to primary school in my parent’s house. This is because our parents never believed in educating the girl-child; I struggled to go school, but they refused.
“I picked the challenge to be educated from my brothers and after I had my third child, I insisted my husband gets me a home teacher. That’s how I started and I later went to secondary school. Today I am a graduate of Public Administration from the University of Abuja.”
Two members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) currently undergoing a 3-week orientation course for the 2019 Batch C Stream 1 in EbonyiState, have been dismissed from the orientation camp for refusing to wear trousers.
The duo refused to wear trousers because according to them, doing so was against their faith and as such preferred to wear skirt.
Spokesperson of the NYSC in the state, Ngozi Ukwuoma, in a statement made available to newsmen, said that the duo were spotted by the camp director, Mrs. Isu Josephine, and her team during routine inspection wearing white t-shirt and white skirt.
She gave the names of the two corps members as Okafor Love Obianuju with registration number EB/19C/0523 and Odji Oritsetsolaye (EB/19C/0530).
The statement partly read: “When they were accosted and interrogated, they disclosed that they could not wear the white shorts and the trousers given to them by the NYSC since it was against their faith.
Efforts were however made by the office of the Camp Director to make them see reason why they must obey the rules and regulations guiding the orientation and NYSC, but all efforts to do that proved futile.
The corps members were queried and subsequently made to face the camp court, where they were found guilty, having made it categorically clear that they were ready to bear the consequences of their actions,” she said.
Mrs Ukwuoma noted that the court recommendations were submitted to the camp Management and the Camp Director was directed to de-kit the Corps Members.
“They were de-kitted in the presence of security agents, who also escorted them to the gate as they left the camp”, the spokesperson added.

They told me to move to the back seat of the car while they used my car to rob others. They took my money, jewellery, phone and cap.”
“At one point, one of the armed robbers told the others, ‘Let us take him to Ajah and kill him.’ I started begging them not to kill me. I told them I am a singer. They then asked me to tell them the songs I had recorded. When I mentioned ‘Ebute Metta’ ‘Capable’ and others, the robbers expressed surprise saying, ‘So you are Mr Capable? Sing for us.’ That was the scariest free show I ever did in my life. I had to sing to armed robbers.”

Brazil’s former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has been released from prison after a judge ordered the release.
The order which was handed down on Friday, November 8, 2019, came just one day after the country’s Supreme Court ruled that convicted defendants could only be imprisoned after all appeals to higher courts had been exhausted, paving the way for Lula and another 5,000 prisoners to be freed.
Da Silva, 74, was serving a 12-year sentence for corruption and money laundering before a judge ordered for his release.
After his release on Friday, he was greeted by hundreds of supporters outside the federal police headquarters in the city of Curitiba, where he has been imprisoned for 580 days.
In a speech to the crowd, Da Silva pledged to fight to establish his innocence and excoriated what he called the “rotten side of the judicial system” for “working to criminalise the left“.
He went on to say “They did not imprison a man. They tried to kill an idea,” he said. “Brazil did not improve, Brazil got worse. The people are going hungry. The people are unemployed. The people do not have formal jobs. People are working for Uber – they’re riding bikes to deliver pizzas.”
Lula, who served as the country’s leader between 2003 and 2010 would have contested for President in 2018, but his imprisonment barred him from running.
Popular footballer, Emmanuel Adebayor seems to have ended things with his bae, ex-Big Brother Africa winner, Dillish Matthews after it was discovered that they’ve both unfollowed themselves on social media.
The discovery came after a follower of the footballer had taken to his comment section to ask if he’ll be visiting his country and when he answered in the negative, it raised suspicions.
The follower had asked if the footballer will be visiting Namibia soon – in other words, to see Dillish – but when he said he wouldn’t, the follower inquisitively asked why and the response Adebayor gave is what raised the suspicions of his split with the model.
See his exchange with the follower below,

A Nigerian counselor has taken to his social media page to tell men that should they find out after a DNA test that their kids aren’t theirs, the problem is with them and not their wife.
According to Victor Ibeh, so-called men should thank their wife as the fact that the kids aren’t theirs means their wife tried to cover up the shame of their infertility.
The counselor’s stance has upset a lot of men and has sparked mixed reactions from netizens and we’re wondering what you think of the whole situation.
Read what he wrote below,
Unpopular Opinion.
If you do DNA test on your children and they are not yours, the problem is not from your wife.
It means you are infertile and your wife tried to cover up your shame.
You should thank her and silently live with those children in peace.
