In a video on X, the woman recounted that she was beautiful and kept refusing marriage proposals from men. She said she ended up giving birth without getting married.
“When I was young I did not settle down with one man because I thought I was beautiful and the toast of most men. I found reasons not to marry all the men that came my way. At a point, I just had to agree to cohabit with a man, get pregnant and have children. The man didn’t marry me and he died.”
“One man who was very serious and wanted to marry me gave up on me and married my friend. Today they have properties, and they travel abroad when they want. So, if I had accepted his proposal I wouldn’t be selling in the sun now,” she added.
According to the elderly woman, her mother used to advise her on the rejection of men. However, she turned a deaf ear to all that was said.
