Maraji has always been a beloved skitmaker and content creator for Nigerians, showcasing exceptional talent. The skitmaker, whose real name is Gloria Olorunto, has indeed been endeared by many Nigerians.
Her skits and content are often relatable, portraying the realistic aspect of family lives and other areas in a hilarious manner. Years prior to her ‘hiatus’ in the game, she was regarded as one of the leading female pioneers in skitmaking, long before the likes of Taaooma, Kiki, among others, emerged.
However, it seems that since her marriage to her Ghanaian Prince, the skitmaker has entered the black book of Nigerians due to her unconventional takes and morality standards, which, though accurate, seem to upset many people on the internet, particularly on X (formerly known as Twitter).
The now-married woman and mother of one have been labeled ‘bitter’ for comfortably shifting her skitmaking content to unconventional opinions, particularly targeting Nigerian women.
In a recent take, she addressed the morality standard of Nigerian women’s dressing, expressing that many of these women often dress half-naked, and any thoughts aside from ‘yass girl, you slay!’ are seen as profound hatred.
Maraji’s simple stance on this issue is that women should be decently dressed and not expose parts of their bodies that are meant to be protected.
However, this did not sit well with the female gender, particularly on X, as they criticized the once-beloved skitmaker. Trusting Nigerians to do what they do best, Maraji’s marital relationship was delved into, with Nigerians digging out her past story—how she ended up with her husband.
Recall that once, Maraji came out on the internet following a serious heartbreak. It appears her baby daddy and husband were indeed the heartbreaker, whom she somehow is now married to.
Addressing this issue and building a foundation on it, Nigerians are opinionated that someone who practically begged her husband to marry her shouldn’t have much say in what women do.
This extends to Nigerians calling her out on projecting her marital insecurities onto women in the name of addressing morality. Some believe she’s not as happy as she looks in her marriage, hence the attack on women.
A netizen went as far as suggesting that her husband constantly goes about with other women and comes back to Maraji when he realizes that she’ll always be there.
She clearly stated, ‘Since she got married, “women who wear this are this,” “women who do this are that,” never men, always women. And she hides it under the guise of morality. Okay if so, why now??
That day it was ashawo dresses. Like what did women do to you, madam? Face your husband, na.”
While Maraji has expressed a strong stance on not bowing to societal drags, it’s not assured that the social media new drag queen will go back to her days of glory, being loved by all.
One thing is certain: it takes a blink of an eye to transition from being loved by Nigerians to being detested by these same people. All you need to do is have a genuinely different take from popular opinion or simply voice it out.
