He argued that most virgins see their virginity as their pride and value, which could affect their decision-making abilities.
He said, “If I want to get married, I won’t marry a virgin. The fact that you are a virgin does not make you the best woman a man can marry.
Girls who are not virgins, in my opinion, make better decisions better, because most girls who are virgins believe that their virginity is their pride and value.”
The statement has since caused a stir on social media, with many people expressing their disagreement with Nedu’s opinion.
Some have accused him of promoting a toxic mentality, while others have argued that being a virgin or non-virgin should not be a factor in choosing a life partner.
