Former Big Brother Naijahousemate Uriel has spoken out against age discrimination, particularly when directed at women
Directing her message to Nigerian men in a recent video, she emphasised that aging is a privilege and a blessing, rather than something to be ashamed of or mocked.
Uriel argued that focusing on a woman’s age rather than the value of her message or content is shallow and insulting.
“So I want to say a quick one and this is going to be pinpointed to Nigerian men. It’s an absolute insult to humanity, to God, to use age discrimination against a woman. I post a video and the thing is you are not coherent with what the video teaches you but what you get out of that video is oh you’re old, that’s an insult because you’re not smart enough to digest and use the concept that was taught to you to better your life.
“But what you hold on to is that oh you’re getting older, it is better to get older than to be six feet under. There are billionaires who would give anything to come back and sell pure water on the street.
“So before you think twice and before you think insulting a woman because she is growing gracefully and beautifully is not an insult, it’s a blessing to age”, she wrote
