Why Many Are Tapping Into Sharon Ooja's Reply to Lilly Afe's Wish for Marriage

2024 was definitely a peppery year for the single people of social media. Left and right, people were posting news of engagements, marriages, and birth announcements. And for so many who have been wishing for this for themselves, the posts were overwhelming and sometimes got people emotional and thinking about their lives.

Well, it seems like one person who is also ready to be done with the single life is Nollywood actress Lilian Afegbai who took to social media to make a post where she publicly declared saying: The next man will be my last.

Lilian's post was audacious and it seems to have resonated with a lot of people who echoed the same sentiments in the comments wishing same for themselves.

Here is what Sharon Ooja said, and the prayer that many people have begun also saying for themselves.
