Actress Juliana Olayode<\/a> has revealed the constant internal conflict she faces in upholding s3xual purity and moral integrity while navigating the pressures of fame, relationships, and career opportunities.<\/p>\n

In a candid Instagram post, the Jenifa\u2019s Diary star confessed that she experiences the same physical and emotional desires as anyone else, including the urge for intimacy, affection and s3xual fulfillment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She emphasised that her abstinence is not due to a lack of temptation but a deliberate choice to prioritise her relationship with God.<\/p>\n

According to her: \u201cSometimes when people talk to me about sex, purity etc I wonder if they think I don\u2019t have blood flowing in my veins.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not that I don\u2019t have all these feelings\/desires, it\u2019s not that I don\u2019t want to be touched, it\u2019s not that I don\u2019t want to cuddle, it not that I don\u2019t want to be kissed, it\u2019s not that I don\u2019t want to have a \u201chot sex\u201d like some would say to me.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just that more than anything I love and honor God! And I hate to hurt Him. Everyday I have to make a choice, apart from my relationship with the opposite sex and sometimes same sex, because sadly, we live in a world full of perverts, I have to make a choice in my career as well! Should I take the role or should I not take it?\u201d<\/p>\n

Olayode disclosed that she regularly rejects film roles, financial deals, and high-profile projects that violate her principles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She admitted to moments of self-doubt, describing times when declining lucrative offers makes her feel foolish or like a failure, especially amid online criticism questioning her career trajectory or accusing her of being manipulated.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019M NOT THE MOST HOLY PERSON AND I AM NOT WITHOUT SIN! But I do my best everyday to choose God over my feelings\/desires, over my career, over money, over the next \u201cblockbuster\u201d, over anything.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not easy for me, I feel very stupid sometimes saying \u201cno\u201d to some deals\/walking away from money\/the next big project\/ relationship etc.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes I feel like a loser, especially when some ignorant people start running their mouth on social media, talking about we don\u2019t see her in big movies, she has a failed career, is she still acting, she\u2019s bla bla bla\u2019s puppet, etc. I sometimes want to tell them about the many scripts I have to turn down for the sake of what I believe\u2026IT IS NOT EASY,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The actress also addressed public concerns about her personal life, particularly whether she will find a partner willing to wait until marriage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She expressed confidence in divine provision, stating that God reserves the best outcomes for those who remain faithful.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who genuinely always worry about me and wonder if I\u2019ll get a good man, if we\u2019ll be compatible, if he\u2019ll not be gay, if he\u2019ll not be impotent, if I\u2019ll get a man who would want to wait till marriage.<\/p>\n

\u201cI appreciate the love\/concern and I PROMISE YOU I WILL! The God that I know gives the BEST GIFTS! Those who worry about my career, stop worrying\u201d, she added.<\/p>\n

While acknowledging her imperfections and past mistakes, Olayode framed her journey as one of daily renewal, choosing obedience over impulse in both personal conduct and professional decisions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She concluded with gratitude for her path so far, affirming unwavering trust in sustained divine support regardless of immediate outcomes.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod brought me here, tomorrow He might want me somewhere else who knows? In all, I know that God is a rewarder, but even if He doesn\u2019t, (which He will) I\u2019ll still be here, nothing is going to change. I\u2019m grateful for the journey and opportunity so far, I know that the one who has held me down for this long will carry me till the end\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Actress Juliana Olayode has revealed the constant internal conflict she faces in upholding s3xual purity and moral integrity…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":240292,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,101366,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-240291","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-juliana-olayode","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240291","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240291"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240291\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/240292"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
