Nkechi Blessing, the Nigerian actress, says she has zero envy for married people and believes societal pressure to tie the knot is wildly exaggerated.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, the film star shared a series of reflections on self-growth, urging her followers to embrace the courage of walking away from anything that no longer aligns with their evolution.
“Growth sometimes looks like walking away. Walking away from people, places, habits, and situations that no longer align with the person you’re becoming,” she said.
“Not out of anger, bitterness, or pride but out of self-respect. Some chapters are meant to end so new ones can begin. I’ve learned that protecting your peace is not selfish, and letting go is often the bravest form of self-love.
“If it no longer serves your purpose, your happiness, or your growth, it’s okay to leave it behind. The right things won’t require you to abandon yourself to keep them.”
In one slide, she dismissed the illusion that married women have it all figured out, pointing to the high number of broken unions around her.
“You think I envy married people? God forbid. 80% of the ones I once admired are now back on the streets. Who marriage help, abeg?” she wrote.
The actress was formerly married to Opeyemi Falegan, although the marriage crashed in 2022.
In another development, GISTSMATE MEDIA reports that there was tension in parts of Enugu State as a group of married women staged a protest against alleged sex workers operating within their communities, accusing them of “taking over their husbands and sons.”
The women, who marched through major streets in a visibly emotional demonstration, carried placards with inscriptions such as “Ashawo must go” and “Leave our husbands alone.”
According to the protesters, the presence of sex workers in their area has allegedly contributed to rising cases of marital disputes, broken homes, and moral decay.
They claimed that many married men and young men in the community have been “lured away,” leading to instability in families. READ MORE
