Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, also known as Nedu, a media personality and comedian, has stated that he will not marry a virgin.
During his Honest Bunch Podcast, the comedian stated that girls who are not virgins are better decision makers, while most virgins feel that virginity is their only value.
Nedu states that he does not believe that being a virgin makes anyone less of a person, but that people who have had previous experiences tend to make better decisions.
“If I want marry, I’ll not marry person wey be virgin. I will tell you why. I think girls that are not virgins make decisions better. Most girls that are virgins they believe ‘Oh this is my pride. My virginity is my pride. My virginity is my value.
“I’m a 30-year-old and I’m a virgin. I’ve kept myself.”
Actress Juliana Olayode, who was a guest on the show, however, countered Nedu’s claims, stating that virgins can be very knowledgeable and make excellent decisions.
Olayode believes that people who walk the sexual journey together share a stronger bond and connection.
“There are a lot of women who are virgins and are very knowledgeable. They know that that is not all there is to them. You can bring one million, and they will increase it to fifty million. So, I don’t think it is an experience thing.
“Experience thing puts pressure on a lot of people. I’m speaking especially for people like Juliana [myself] that have a Juliana kind of mindset about this situation. I feel like that person who is a pro now did not start off as a pro. The person already has so many experiences with different men, maybe with the same man, and that is why the person is a pro.”
“So, I feel like we live in a culture where people don’t want to grow with you because there is so much hype about ‘I hit it, I got it right. Yes, I screamed. I shout.’ There is so much hype about that that a lot of people are not willing to just grow with you. And I feel like people who are willing to walk that journey with people, they share more bonds and connections, especially sexual journey, ” Olayode added.
