A 46-year-old Nigerian woman has set social media abuzz after revealing in a viral interview with popular broadcaster Alhaji Oriyomi Hamzat that she is still a virgin. The video, shared by user @Teeniiola on X (formerly Twitter), has stunned many Nigerians and ignited a firestorm of conversations around sexuality, personal values, and societal expectations.
In the now-viral footage, the woman calmly and confidently states that she has never been sexually active, despite her age. Her revelation left even the usually composed Oriyomi Hamzat visibly shocked. The moment has since become a trending topic online, with thousands of users reacting across platforms.
“Omoh! I never see this kind thing before oo,” @Teeniiola captioned the video. “Even Alhaji Oriyomi Hamzat shock. She’s 46 and still a virg!n.”
The woman’s statement has drawn a wide spectrum of reactions. While some viewers applauded her for her discipline, self-control, and commitment to personal or religious principles, others expressed disbelief, curiosity, or used the moment to highlight the pressure society places on women to marry or meet certain milestones by a certain age.
Commentary on the post ranged from admiration — calling her “a queen with values” — to humour, with memes and jokes flooding the thread. Still, many took the opportunity to raise deeper questions about the cultural assumptions surrounding virginity, aging, and marriage in Nigeria.
The video, though brief, has spotlighted long-standing cultural conversations and stirred up interest in the full interview. Many Nigerians are now calling for Oriyomi Hamzat to release more clips or the complete footage, eager to understand the woman’s full story and what shaped her unusual path.
As debates rage online, one thing is clear — the courage and composure shown by the woman during her interview have left a lasting impression. In a society often quick to judge or stereotype, her story has created space for dialogue about choice, agency, and living life on one’s own terms.
