‘I wish I had listened to my mother’- Actress Lilian Afegbai Advocates For Celibacy

Nollywood actress, Lilian Afegbai, in a new Instagram post is advocating for celibacy using her personal experience to warn women about disloyal men.

The former Big Brother Africa contestant who is now advocating for celibacy, recounted the heartbreaks she had gone through in time past and falling for the wrong men.

Here’s what Lilian Afegbai wrote;

“All she wanted was true love, but she always falls for the wrong ones. When people see pretty girls they think we have it all figured out and our poo put together, but hey we don’t!

I wish I listened to my mother and remained a VIRGIN. Ps: These guys ain’t loyal #celebacyisthenewbae.”

Lilian Afegbai is also a model and presenter. She was the Nigeria’s female representative to the Big Brother Africa Hotshots.

Sometime last year, the actress took to her Instagram page to lament about the increased rate at which marriages crash.

According to her, men can drive you insane as one woman can never be enough for most men, no matter how the woman tries and as such doesn’t believe marriage is for everyone.

Recall that in 2017, Nollywood actress, Juliana Olayode better known as Toyo Baby of Jenifa’s Diary faced a backlash for lying about her virginity (read here).In her book, “Rebirth” she had stated that she gave away her virginity to her married music teacher at 17. This is coming after she had in different interviews claimed she was a virgin.

Her fans on social media have since the latest revelation called her several names. Before now, everyone believed Juliana was a virgin as she had said on several occasions.

But in the same book, she explained how she confessed to her foster father, Timi Adigun and his wife after they all thought she was a Virgin.

“However, the fact that I had confessed to TiTiMi Adigun did not mean the world now knew. People had assumed I was a virgin. I had never said I was but I had never corrected their assumptions either. So, I was still in that fix.

“Shortly after my confession, Ebony Life TV called me for an interview. I went and for the first time in my several interviews, I was asked point blank if I was a virgin. I tried to evade the question, but my interviewer was not having it. She demanded for a yes or no. I did not see the question coming and I lied. I said, ‘Yes, I am a virgin.’

“Immediately the interview was over, I hurried to the bathroom in the studio and cried. I felt terrible for lying and told God I was sorry. I called Dee on my way home and confessed my wrong. I explained further when I got home.

“The next thing he said shocked me. He said, ‘Call her and confess the truth. Ask for a rescheduling of the interview; do it again and undo your mistake.’

“I was not going to do that. I felt it was my secret and the whole world need not know about it. I was upset with myself, however, for answering her. I could have insisted I could not tell. So, I proposed never to answer such again. Easier said than done, right?

“Shortly after, I was on another TV interview, Crux Of The Matter, with Elsie. I was invited to talk for sexual purity while the other guest spoke against.

In the process of the discussion, around the time when it was heated, I was asked out of the blues again if I was a virgin. And before I knew it, I heard myself lying again. I was mad at myself.

“I was on another TV interview that trended for a while. It was On The Couch, with Lady Ariyike. I talked about sexual purity, but thankfully I was not asked if I was virgin.

“After that one, I decided to stop interviews altogether. I was tired of lying or having to dread lying if I was asked straight up.”
