Nollywood actress Moyo Lawal has stirred fresh conversations about love and relationships after candidly explaining why she refuses to offer advice to Nigerian women. In a recent interview with GoldMyneTV that has gone viral, the outspoken star described herself as a deep lover who feels unqualified to counsel others on matters of the heart.
When asked for relationship tips, Lawal did not hold back.
“I feel like only married people should be able to give relationship advice. You know, I’m a lover girl so I feel like I can’t give relationship advice because I love deep—too much and with all my heart. I don’t feel like I’m a good candidate to give Nigerian women love advice because…the drama,” she said.
The actress, known for her bold personality both on and off screen, went further when the conversation turned to unreciprocated feelings. She revealed that she has never truly experienced that pain.
“I don’t think I’ve ever had that. The love always comes back really strongly. It’s just that human beings will be human beings, that’s it. I’ve never had a love that didn’t come back so I don’t really know how that feels. But human beings will always be human beings no matter who you are or what you do. And for someone like me who cannot love halfheartedly, it is what it is,” Lawal explained.
Pressed on the popular saying that “men will always be men,” she shut the question down with characteristic honesty.
“I’m a lover of men so you can’t put that question on me. I’m a lover of men,” she replied.
The clip, shared widely across social media platforms has drawn mixed reactions. Some fans praised her self-awareness and refusal to pretend expertise she does not claim, while others found her “lover girl” confession both refreshing and amusing.
