    Reality TV star and former Big Brother Naija housemate, Uriel Oputa, has opened up about why, despite finding Burna Boy attractive, she wouldn’t consider dating the Grammy-winning Nigerian artist.

    Speaking on a recent episode of her podcast Inside Scoop, Uriel admitted that Burna Boy fits her ideal type, praising his rugged appearance, masculine vibe, and strong presence.

    “He’s definitely my type. I love that rugged, manly-man energy. He has this powerful presence, and those muscles — I’m into that,” she said with a laugh.

    However, Uriel made it clear that she values exclusivity in relationships and couldn’t handle sharing her partner’s attention, especially with someone as high-profile as Burna Boy.

    “I want to be the only woman in my man’s life. I want all the attention. And with someone like Burna? That would be really difficult,” she confessed.

    She went on to explain that being with a celebrity constantly surrounded by admirers would be emotionally draining for her. “I know myself. I don’t have the emotional strength to deal with that kind of heartbreak. I’d be crying every day,” she added.

    How taking care of my sick mother taught me forgiveness – BBNaija Uriel Oputa

    Former Big Brother housemate, Uriel Oputa has talked about the tough time she has had taking care of her mother, who has vascular dementia.

    The reality star via her Instagram story disclosed that the last few days were particularly hard being that she was the only one looking after her mother.

    She stated that she has let go of any grudge towards her mother for not being present during significant and important moments of her life.

    Uriel pointed out that even though her mother’s sickness hindered her from being productive in some parts of her life, she has found comfort in thinking about her path to forgiveness.

    She shared that she has come to forgive herself for how she reacted to her mother’s condition and also she expressed her new interest in health awareness and prevention, wanting to help others avoid similar challenges.

    “These last few days have been incredibly hard. Yesterday, I fed my mother breakfast, lunch, and dinner, which meant I couldn’t get to anything else. It left me feeling unproductive, but it reminded me of one of the biggest things I’ve overcome: forgiveness.

    “I  had to forgive my mother. I forgave her for not taking her high blood pressure medication on time. Something that might have prevented her stroke and eventually, her vascular dementia. I forgave her for likely not being here when I have children and for not being able to do our traditional rites when a woman gives birth. And I forgave myself for the way I’d acted at times, knowing she wouldn’t be there. Over the years, I realized I was carrying a lot of anger, and I finally let it go.

    “This experience is why I’m so passionate about speaking on health and prevention. I want to make sure others don’t go through what I’m going through now. Because it’s fucking hard. I just want the old times”. She wrote.

Why can’t we have respect for ourselves?? Why must we bill at every opportunity?? Even if he gives you money let it be out of Respect. Why are we putting price Tags on our Private Area??

    Anthony Joshua is my spiritual husband- Daniella Okeke

    Sexy actress, Daniella Okeke has joined the long list of actresses who have a crush on Anthony Joshua.

    Okeke took to her Instagram page to share a picture of Joshua on Instagram on Tuesday, calling him her spiritual husband.

    “See as person Spiritually husband Fine. Baby wat soup should I make for u 2day?” she asked.

    Like Daniella Okeke, reality TV star Uriel Oputa also has a crush on Anthony Joshua.

    According to her:” This man can carry me like a leaf.. Chai after I finish cooking Nsala for him ahhh he will forget his name.. even my omelette get style .. if he eats that one he will run for 5 hours on Third mainland bridge.. shouting Uriel oo”.

    TheNewsGuru recalls that Joshua defeated Ruiz to reclaim WBO, IBF and WBA heavyweight titles.

    A late starter in the sport, Joshua only began boxing in 2007, aged 18, when his cousin suggested he take it up. His club, Finchley ABC in Barnet, North London, is also home to professional heavyweight Dereck Chisora.

    Joshua won the 2009 and 2010 Haringey Box Cup. Joshua won the senior ABA Championships in 2010, in only his 18th bout, and later turned down £50,000 to turn professional. “Turning down that £50,000 was easy. I didn’t take up the sport for money, I want to win medals.”

    He also went on to win the same tournament the following year. In 2010 his domestic success earned him a place on the GB Boxing team and later the same year he became British amateur champion at the GB Amateur Boxing Championships after defeating Amin Isa.

    I won’t talk about sex, it is not my brand- Uriel Oputa

    Big Brother 2017 contestant, Uriel Oputa has said she won’t talk about sex in her new vlog called ‘Uriel Talks’.

    Speaking on the inspiration behind the talk show, she said:“Uriel Talks is a talk show where I talk about issues that affect people. The last one I did was about whether it’s right to move in with your partner when you’re not married. These are things that happen every day so we’re just trying to analyse them.

     

    “It is an interactive show where people share different views and opinions. I talk a lot and I like to hear other people air their views as well. On the show, we talk about everything or anything. At the beginning of the show, I usually showcase a dish that I prepared beforehand. I have plans to take the show on TV but for now, it’s just on my Instagram page and YouTube.

    “I won’t talk about religion. I also won’t really talk about sex because that’s not my brand; I won’t dabble into things like that. I will talk about relationships but not about sex point-blank”, she told Punch.

     

    Uriel who is constantly bashed on social media over her body said body shaming cannot affect her.

    “Body shaming does not affect me; I just move on. I feel people who do that are not confident in themselves. I feel those people are cowards who lack self-esteem. I have no plans to do a boob job.”
