Actress Ayo Mogaji urges Nigerian single women at 35 to start getting pregnant for any man, gives reason

Actress Ayo Mogaji urges Nigerian single women at 35 to start getting pregnant for any man, gives reason

Veteran Yoruba actress Ayo Mogaji recently shared her thoughts on the struggles women face with marriage, especially as they approach 35. In an interview on Oyinmomo TV’s YouTube channel, she gave advice to women who are still single by that age.

Mogaji suggested that women who aren’t married by 35 should consider having a child, even if the man isn’t ready to be a father. She stressed the importance of becoming a mother and encouraged women to follow their desire for a family instead of waiting for the perfect moment.

She also pointed out that many women focus too much on their careers and personal achievements, which can delay marriage. While success is important, Mogaji warned that time moves fast, and women may later feel unfulfilled in their personal lives.

Additionally, she mentioned how some men view women between 35 and 40, which can make dating even harder for women in this age group, adding more pressure as they try to balance their choices and wishes.

Mogaji said, "A woman who can't find a husband at age 35 should get pregnant for any man to have a child. If the woman can find any man she is close to, even if he isn't ready to take responsibility, she should go ahead and have a child."

Warri _____ Following the laudable reform initiatives introduced to reposition the Presidential Amnesty Programme for the general interest of the ex-agitators of the Niger Delta region, the Amanana-owei ll of Meinbutus Federated Communities Worldwide, HRH. King-Jerry James Nakpose Pere-ela Prebor Snr, has commended the administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, High Chief (Dr.) Dennis Burutu Otuaro for his laudable reforms ongoing in the amnesty office.

King Jerry make the commendation on Thursday at his palace in Olabrakonpre Community Warri kingdom, while playing host to the press noted that he was overwhelmed by the sterling leadership acumen of Dennis Otuaro, especially the rehabilitation program he introduced to save the lives of our youths from drug abuse which had already sent most of them to early grave and rendered others useless in the society.

He lamented that his heart bleeds whenever he sees most of the promising youth lives cut short as result of hard drug intake in Meinbutus Federated Communities.

King Jerry maintained that with the setting up of rehabilitation centers by the Otuaro led amnesty program, the youths of Niger Delta, especially victims of the ljaw liberation struggle would be reintegrated back to the society to live a fulfilled life with their family and loved ones.

He however, called on Niger Delta leaders, critical stakeholders and the youths to support Dr. Dennis Otuaro led amnesty program so as to enable him deliver on the mandate given to him by Mr President, His Excellency, Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu in sustaining the existing peace in the region in order to fastrack infrastructural development to the coastal areas of the Niger Delta, the statement added.

PAP: Refrain from spreading falsehoods against Otuaro, Tompolo -Group lambasts unguided Jude Gbaboyor

The Ijaw Peoples Development Initiative (IPDI) has strongly condemned the recent video posted by one Jude Gbaboyor, suspected to have been an apologist of an ex-agitator Ben Ebikabowei, alias Boyloaf, accusing Chief Dennis Brutu Otuaro PhD of revealing a sensitive document that allegedly saved former President Goodluck Jonathan. The video also attempted to discredit High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, a highly respected advocate for the freedom of Niger Delta region.

This was contained in a statement signed by the group's national secretary Comrade Peter Luke, and BoT chairman , Cletus Itari where a copy was sent to newsmen on Wednesday.

The IPDI described Gbaboyor's actions as a desperate attempt to seek cheap fame by maligning reputable individuals. They emphasised that Dr. Otuaro has no connection to the purported document and that these accusations are merely a smear campaign.

"Gbaboyor's malicious campaign will only tarnish his boss Boyloaf's reputation. His divisive propaganda will ultimately backfire. It's misguided to accuse Dr. Otuaro of being involved in a document he knew nothing about. Instead, Gbaboyor should direct his concerns to the DSS or previous amnesty program administrators who might have valuable insights.

"It's shameful that while others celebrate Dr. Dennis Brutu Otuaro's appointment as an administrator of the presidential Amnesty Programme, Gbaboyor and his paymaster continue to plot against their own brother for selfish gains. This destructive behavior is not only shameful but it exposes the evil intentions of Gbaboyor and his boss towards Dr. Otuaro.

"Dr. Otuaro is a distinguished leader in the Niger Delta struggle, and it's shameful for Gbaboyor to suggest otherwise," the IPDI stated. "His actions expose a secret agenda to tarnish the reputation of Dr. Otuaro and Tompolo.", the group reiterated.

"We will not tolerate reckless misinformation and character assassination," the IPDI concluded. "We stand solidly behind Dr. Otuaro and Tompolo, who have tirelessly worked for the betterment of our people."

"The accusation is baseless and unfounded, you don't accuse someone of what he doesn't know just because you merely saw Otuaro's photos in the DM of the person who posted the alleged document. 

"We want to outrightly let the insane Gbaboyor know that Otuaro was a key player in the Niger Delta struggle, and it is only a poor student of history that will erroneously say that Otuaro is enjoying the efforts of Boyloaf. This is shameful and childish".

The IPDI urged the mischievous Gbaboyor to refrain from spreading falsehoods and to focus on constructive contributions to unite Ijaw leaders rather than divisive ploys. They strongly emphasised that Dr. Otuaro and Tompolo remain unfazed by these baseless accusations.

The IPDI's statement served as a call to action, promoting fact-based discourse and respect for leaders working towards positive change in the Niger Delta region.

"I want to use this medium to once again, call on my fellow youths to maintain the serene atmosphere in Bomadi and environs while agitations and destructions may be taking place in some parts of the country. 

"We have a future, we have a vision to achieve and Bomadi under my watch will see the light, we will see the illumination in no distant time.
