Former Big Brother Naija star Uriel has taken a stand against ageism, calling out the unfair treatment of women based on their age.
In a recent video message directed at Nigerian men, Uriel stressed that growing older is not a flaw but a gift, a sign of life, experience, and grace.
She criticised the tendency to judge women by their age instead of the substance of their message or contributions, describing such attitudes as both shallow and disrespectful.
Uriel urged people to embrace the beauty of aging and recognize the purpose it brings, rather than taking youth for granted or using age as a tool for mockery.
Uriel said:
“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”.
Uriel’s message also stressed the importance of self-worth and dignity at any age, urging people not to mock what they don’t understand and reminding them that life has its own way of teaching valuable lessons.
Captioning the video, she wrote:
“On Aging & Self-Worth: “There is NO shame in aging. Aging is a privilege. I’d rather grow older in purpose than be six feet under with regrets. “
“Some people have all the money in the world — and still wish they had one more day to breathe. Don’t mock what you don’t understand. One day, life will remind you”. [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>>
