Last week Nollywood actress, Halima Abubakar posted a saucy photo of herself calling saying she can’t wait to be “disvirgined”. Of course, she got some backlash from fans and followers and in a recent interview with Punch she clears the air surrounding the bold statement.

“Why would people become annoyed because I said I am a virgin?” she asked, adding, “Just
because I’m in the industry does not mean I am badly behaved. Not
everyone is sexually active. You can have a boyfriend and not be
sexually active. The reaction I got shows the mentality of the people.
If I say I’m a virgin, I am and if I say I am not, then I am not. They
tell me to go get married, should I go after someone else’s husband?”
According to her, “Everybody thinks one should
get married from age 18. A lot of marriages are complicated. Marriage
will come when it will come, one doesnt need to force it. People are
getting divorced with pregnancies because they got married under
pressure. We should let people be. People are saying if you are not
getting married, go and get kids because menopause is approaching. What
kind of thing is that? Is it your menopause? I still have about nine
years before I hit menopause all things being equal. I am not one of
those people that will kill themselves because of marriage. I can’t have
kids outside marriage.”
Meanwhile, Halima herself has revealed she is not concerned about critics negative comments. On Saturday, July 20, 2016, the “Men In Love” actress disclosed that she just doesn’t care about what critics say.
“People always comment on most of my posts. You know Nigerians like to criticise whether they understand the language or not.”
“I just want to believe that they just want to
talk. I don’t want to talk about my post where I said that I was a
virgin and couldn’t wait to have children. I posted what I wanted and
that was it. I have been getting negative comments from people for over
13 years; I think my body is used to it by now.
Negative comments do not move me at all and I do not even have emotional feelings towards such.”
According to her, the media might twist her words to imply what she did not intend to say.
