Lagos: The article reports that media personality Shade Ladipo has stated she has “no plans to marry again, despite sharing glimpses of her new romantic relationship.
In a video she posted, Ladipo is seen dancing and enjoying herself, accompanied by a caption that reads: Me doing everything except giving my parents another husband and grandkids.
She further elaborated: Thank God my brother is helping their ministry because this girl has no plans to marry again but to enjoy life at every opportunity, ohhhh.
The comment section of the post, hosted on, quickly filled with harsh and often misogynistic responses, with many criticizing her looks, past marriages, and decision to remain unmarried:
Shade Ladipo was previously in a brief marriage, reportedly based in Canada, which appears to have ended.
Her public expression of choosing joy and self-fulfillment over societal pressure to remarry is resonant for many women, but it has also made her a target for online trolls, especially in patriarchal online spaces where women are often judged by their marital status.
This story underscores ongoing cultural tensions around marriage, especially for women in the public eye. Ladipo’s stance represents a growing trend where women are openly rejecting traditional expectations, even at the risk of backlash.
