‘I need a husband!’ – Comedienne Princess appeals to popular Nigerian pastors

Popular Nigerian comedienne and actress, Damilola Adekoya, fondly known as Princess, has openly appealed to prominent clerics to help her find a life partner.

In a video shared on her social media pages, Princess called on Pastor Jerry Eze, Apostle Femi Lazarus, Pastor Bolaji Idowu, and Apostle Joshua Selman, urging them to help link her up with a “kind and responsible man” within their congregations.

The actress said she is single, ready to mingle, and willing to settle down with a man in his 40s or early 50s. According to her, she has followed the teachings of the pastors consistently and, in some cases, has previously sought help through their comment sections.

Princess noted that while her requests sometimes attract insults and backlash online, she remains unbothered, insisting that the new video was meant to show how serious she is about finding a husband.

She further pleaded with the clerics to spare just 30 minutes of their time to help her secure a suitable partner, stressing that she believes marriage can still happen for her.

Princess was previously married to Yoruba movie actor and producer, Jeremiah Adeshola. The former couple tied the knot on May 8, 2013, at the Federal Marriage Registry, Ikoyi, Lagos, before holding a lavish wedding ceremony at Balmoral Events Centre, Oregun.

The marriage was solemnised under the leadership of the C&S Movement Church Ayo Ni O, led by the late Prophet Gabriel O. Fakeye, alongside eight other clergymen. The union later ended in divorce.
