The English wife of a Nigerian man, Mama Yara Naija, has addressed people who have been age shaming her and also suggesting that her husband, Chris, married her for papers.
“You say I'm old, well actually, I'm perfectly within my prime years. You say I'm rejected, well actually, since the age of 15 I've only been single for 8 months after my divorce, then I met Chief, so who is being rejected,” she wrote in a Facebook post on Monday, April 21. "Some of you have got stuck on an idea that all African men are marrying oyibo women for papers, while some of them may well choose to do that it doesn't mean all multiracial marriages are the same.
"Some, like myself and my husband. are building a life together, expanding our family and bringing them all together to be happy and united. I may not be in my twenties anymore but I am still within my lovable, happy and fertile years.
"Menopause has not come for me yet and won't be coming any time soon. Thank you very much to those that love and support us. I don't particularly like addressing negativity but sometimes we have to speak up to teach an important lesson to those that need it "Menopause has not come for me yet and won peace and love."
