Nigerian comedienne Princess speaks openly about her desire for marriage in a viral video, calling on pastors for support.
Popular Nigerian comedienne and actress Damilola Adekoya, popularly known as Princess, has sparked widespread discussion on social media after openly asking well-known pastors to help her find a suitable husband.
In a video that has since gone viral, Princess directly mentioned respected clerics such as Bolaji Idowu, Jerry Eze, Joshua Selman, Philip Olubakin and Femi Lazarus. She appealed to them to recommend responsible, mature men who are genuinely ready for marriage and committed to building a stable home.
Speaking honestly in the video, Princess shared that she has spent several years focusing on personal healing, prayer and self-reflection following past life experiences. She said this period helped her grow emotionally and spiritually, and she now feels fully prepared to take deliberate steps towards marriage.
The actress stressed that while faith and prayer are important, they must be matched with intentional action. According to her, waiting silently is not always enough, and being open about one’s desires can create opportunities for positive change.
Princess also addressed the stigma often attached to single and divorced women in society.
She explained that many women are unfairly judged or pressured to remain silent about their personal lives. She made it clear that her public request was not an act of desperation, but a bold and honest expression of confidence, self-awareness and readiness for a new chapter.
Since the video was shared, it has generated mixed reactions online, with many people praising her courage and honesty, while others debated whether such personal matters should be discussed publicly.
