Reality TV Star Uriel Oputa Raises Concern Over Trend of Igbo Men Marrying Older Women

Reality TV personality and former Big Brother Naija star, Uriel Oputa, has voiced concern over what she describes as a growing trend among Igbo men — marrying significantly older women, often old enough to be their mothers.

Taking to social media, Uriel expressed her unease, suggesting that many of these relationships are driven not by love, but by the pursuit of foreign passports and immigration advantages.

She lamented the shift in values and questioned the sincerity behind such unions, implying that the motive is often more transactional than emotional.
