Nancy Isime’s ‘I’m Ready For Marriage’ Comment Triggers Gender Bias Debate

Nollywood actress Nancy Isime, 34, has sparked widespread debate on social media following comments she made about her readiness for marriage.

In a recent interview with media personality Morayo Afolabi-Brown, Isime said she now feels prepared to settle down, stressing that genuine kindness matters more to her than wealth, fame, or social status. “I’m of age,” she said, adding that she is seeking a meaningful and emotionally grounded connection.

However, her remarks triggered sharp backlash on X a user identified as King Chidi In a viral post, he accused the actress of allegedly spending her 20s pursuing relationships with top actors, film directors, and producers for roles and personal enjoyment, only to later seek a “kind man” after, according to him, losing her “prime appeal.”

The post employed crude and inflammatory language, including the assertion that “women age like milk while men age like wine,” and warned young women to be “humble” in their youth before fertility declines. He also used a derogatory phrase referring to Isime’s ovaries and shared photos of the actress with well-known actors, presenting them as what he termed “evidence.”

The comments quickly ignited a heated online debate. Supporters of the post echoed arguments about timing, choices, and diminishing options with age, while critics condemned the remarks as misogynistic, defamatory, and unsupported by facts. Many demanded proof for the allegations and accused the commenter of attempting to shame and police women’s life choices.

As of the time of reporting, Nancy Isime has not publicly responded to the specific allegations, but the controversy continues to fuel broader conversations about gender, aging, marriage expectations, and the treatment of women in the public eye.
