Brazilian-born influencer and model, Suellen Carey, has announced the end of her one-year self-marriage, revealing that her sologamy journey ultimately became overwhelming.

Carey, 36, first gained international attention last year after marrying herself in a widely shared ceremony in London, documenting the event for her 400,000 Instagram followers.

Despite the unconventional celebration, Carey attempted to make the commitment work.

She even attended ten sessions of couples-style therapy alone, aiming to navigate the challenges of her unique union.

However, she admitted that the constant expectation to be perfect for herself left her mentally and emotionally drained.

“I realised I was putting a lot of pressure on myself, and that sometimes left me exhausted,” she said, reflecting on the experience.

Carey described her sologamous marriage as a process of healing and personal growth.

She noted that self-analysis and reflection were essential, emphasizing that commitment to oneself can still carry emotional burdens.

“Even in a marriage with ourselves, it’s important to accept our imperfections,” she explained.

The influencer called the journey “enriching” but acknowledged that it was time to move forward.

Carey said she is now ready to explore relationships with others while embracing the lessons learned from her solo venture.

“Personal growth can lead us in different directions. I’ve decided it’s time to open my heart to new possibilities, including the chance to find a partner,” she added.

Fans of the influencer continue to praise her honesty and courage in navigating such an unconventional life choice.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, has accepted the resignation of the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Kayode Egbetokun, following the submission of his letter citing pressing family considerations.

President Tinubu received Mr Egbetokun’s resignation earlier today and expressed his profound appreciation for Egbetokun’s decades of distinguished service to the Nigeria Police Force and the nation. The President acknowledged his dedication, professionalism, and steadfast commitment to strengthening internal security architecture during his tenure.

Appointed in June 2023, Egbetokun was serving a four-year term scheduled to conclude in June 2027, in line with the amended provisions of the Police Act.

In view of the current security challenges confronting the nation, and acting in accordance with extant laws and legal guidance, President Tinubu has approved the appointment of Assistant Inspector-General of Police Tunji Disu to serve as Acting Inspector-General of Police with immediate effect.

The President is confident that AIG Disu’s experience, operational depth, and demonstrated leadership capacity will provide steady and focused direction for the Nigeria Police Force during this critical period.

In compliance with the provisions of the Police Act 2020, President Tinubu will convene a meeting of the Nigeria Police Council shortly to formally consider the appointment of AIG Disu as substantive Inspector-General of Police, after which his name will be transmitted to the Senate for confirmation.

The President reiterates his administration’s unwavering commitment to enhancing national security, strengthening institutional capacity, and ensuring that the Nigeria Police Force remains professional, accountable, and fully equipped to discharge its constitutional responsibilities.

A Nigerian lady identified as Susan has stirred conversations online after publicly announcing that she is searching for a man to marry her before 2027.

In a viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter), the 24-year-old explained that she decided to “let her guards down” after noticing that other women who openly declared their intentions to find love eventually succeeded.

According to Susan, she has never been married but has a child who currently lives with her grandmother.

She alleged that the child’s father abandoned them, adding that it has been a long time since she was in a relationship.

In her words, she said:

“I’m 24. I haven’t been married. I have a kid and she’s with her grandmother. The kid’s father ran away. It’s been long since I’ve been in a relationship.”

Describing herself as a “rising star,” Susan revealed that her pastor once prophesied that her glory lies in the future.

She expressed confidence that any man who marries her now would enjoy a brighter tomorrow alongside her.
