@Funmilola if you choose not to marry, you have to choose not to have sex too. If you do have sex outside marriage, you will go to hell.

She responded to the negative comments with another tweet, saying,
This vitriol is not directed at a clearly corrupt, incompetent or inept politician but at a woman simply stating a choice not to marry. https://t.co/PteDGtJ2g8

Meanwhile, when asked why she’s against marriage, she said, “because marriage is often wielded as a power tool and a repudiation of it seem like a challenge to misguided power notions”.
