Toyo Baby, also known as Olayode Juliana, recently spoke on OAP Nedu’s Honest Bunch podcast about the importance of not judging women based on their virginity status.
The 27-year-old actress, who rose to fame playing Toyosi in the series Jenifa’s Diary, stated that virginity does not define a woman’s greatness or goodness.
“So it’s our culture, and that’s what we have brought to our way of life even up until now,” she said. Advertisement “But the fact that somebody is a virgin is not all there is to a woman; it’s not all what makes a woman a good woman. It’s not all what makes a woman a great woman.
“Because some people are just virgins because they’ve not had the opportunity to have sex, not because they want to stay that way.

“While there are other people who are not virgins but they are really good people.
“We don’t know the heart of people; we don’t know why, we don’t know what’s going on in their head, we don’t go to their houses with them.
“So, we can’t particularly say this is the person who is a virgin for this good reason or this bad reason. Or this is a person who’s a virgin and is doing other things beside it. Or this is why this person has lost their virginity.”
Olayode previously revealed that she considered marriage because she has difficulty abstaining from sexual intercourse.
“My body has been fighting against me like I don’t know it again. It’s getting more difficult to abstain from sex. Everything in my head is screaming sex. The way it’s going, I’m thinking of getting married for sex,” she had said.
