My Body Count Does Not Matter – Nigerian Lady Tells Men To Stop Judging Women Before Marriage

A Nigerian woman, Nwakego Nworie, has sparked debate on social media after urging men seeking marriage to focus on a woman’s present character and future aspirations rather than the number of sexual partners she has had in the past.

According to Bush Radio Academy, Nworie shared her views in a Facebook post that has attracted attention online, arguing that a person’s sexual history should not automatically determine their suitability for marriage.

She criticised what she described as society’s tendency to scrutinise women’s past relationships while paying less attention to their present values, personal growth and character.

Nworie maintained that men intending to settle down should concentrate on understanding the women they wish to marry instead of extensively investigating their sexual histories.

“My body count does not matter. If you want to marry me, you don’t need to worry about my body count. You don’t need to dig into my past life as if you are looking for evidence in a criminal case. What matters is the person I am today and the kind of future we can build together,” she wrote.

She further argued that a woman’s past does not necessarily determine her ability to become a supportive wife or responsible mother, adding that marriage should focus on building a shared future rather than continually revisiting previous experiences.

To support her position, Nworie referenced 2 Corinthians 5:17, a biblical passage that describes believers in Christ as new creations, with old things having passed away.

The verse reads: “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

She explained that if people can repent, change their behaviour and choose a different path, others should also be willing to acknowledge their transformation rather than continually judge them by their past.

“So, if I have repented, changed my ways and chosen to live differently, why should you keep judging me? Love conquers all. My body count does not matter. My past does not matter,” she added.

Nworie’s comments have renewed discussions about sexual history, personal accountability, forgiveness and the expectations men and women bring into marriage. Her position centres on the argument that present character, genuine change and compatibility should be considered when choosing a life partner.
