Uriel Oputa Warns Nigerians Against Airing Relationship Disputes on Social Media
Former Big Brother Naija housemate and entrepreneur Uriel Oputa took to her social media page on September 28, 2026, to question why couples are airing their private relationship disputes online. In her post, she asked, "When did social media become the family court?" and expressed hope that her future partner would understand that not every disagreement needs to be made public. She advised couples to resolve conflicts privately through honest conversation, family mediation, or professional counselling when needed. Uriel warned that observers of such online feuds often take sides, share screenshots, create memes, and argue in comment sections before quickly moving on to the next trend, emphasizing that social media does not offer genuine love or support. Her comments come amid a noticeable increase in Nigerian celebrities and everyday users turning platforms like Instagram and Twitter into venues for public breakups and quarrels. The trend raises concerns about privacy, mental health, and the lasting impact of digital footprints on personal relationships. Will you keep your relationship issues offline, seek private resolution, or continue to share them for public consumption?
