Big Brother Naija’s former housemate, Uriel Oputa, has issued a public service announcement as she shares her encounter with a fan.
The reality star, in an Instagram story, said she genuinely believes some Nigerians are missing a few brain cells as she recounted how she went shopping without makeup and glam, and a fan walked up to her to take a selfie m
If that wasn’t enough, the fan looked for someone to take a proper picture of them and had shaken her hands.
Uriel noted that she has made it known several times that she isn’t a fan of shaking hands, not because she is proud or rude, but because of what she has seen.
“I genuinely believe some Nigerians are missing a few brain cells.
This morning _ early in the morning – I’m shopping, minding my business, about to pay, and you blocked me from taking a selfie.
Then, as if that’s not enough, you go and start looking for someone else to take a proper picture. My dear, I’m not dressed for a photoshoot – I came to buy things, not strike poses!
After all of that, you still stretch your hand to shake me?
After I’ve said Multiple times, I don’t shake hands.
Not because I’m proud of being rude, but because I’ve seen too much.
Please, is there a grain cell we need to resurrect?
Reboot? Recharge with Nepa light. Because I’m not understanding what’s going on.
Stop trying to shake my hands.
At this point, you guys are annoying”.
Some weeks back, the chef had revealed how caring for her ailing mother taught her how to forgive, after years of carrying a lot of anger. This experience is why she is so passionate about speaking on health and prevention, and she wants to make sure others don’t go through what she is going through because it is fucking hard.
Also, Uriel shared her experience taking care of her mother, who has dementia, describing it as the most challenging, heartbreaking, and rewarding. She said that each day brings new hurdles and deep emotions, yet they face it with love, which becomes both her strength and solace.
