You People Judge Too Much!” – Reality Star Ese Eriata Defends Single Mothers Against Online Critics

Big Brother Naija star, Eriata Ese, has fired back at a Nigerian woman who criticized her for having a child outside wedlock.

The drama began after Eriata posted a photo of herself on social media, which prompted a troll to condemn unmarried mothers.

In a sharp clapback, Eriata responded:

“Hardworking wife, abeg try shut up and focus on your marriage. Them no dey pick husband for ground carry go house. Ndi ala cho cho cho.”

Taking to her Snapchat, the actress and influencer further addressed the issue, urging people to stop judging women without understanding their personal struggles or choices.

“Inasmuch as marriage is a good thing, some people don’t think or wonder why a person chose a certain path,” she explained. “You don’t know my past — if I’ve been abused, have trauma, or trust issues I’m healing from. You don’t know if I’m waiting for something to click before I say yes to marriage or if I’m still working on myself to be someone’s peace. Yet, people jump online to type nonsense because commenting is free.”

Eriata also spoke against the societal double standards placed on women regarding marriage and motherhood, noting that women are often judged no matter what they do.

“You’ll hear, ‘Once you’re 30+, just have your kids.’ When you do, they’ll ask, ‘Where’s the father?’ If you wait for marriage, they’ll say you’re too old. When love finally comes, they’ll question why the man didn’t marry a younger girl. And ironically, most of the people saying these things are women,” she added.
