Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has spoken out against the habit of some women who frequently describe men as “scums.”
In a post shared on her Instagram page, the actress advised her gender to stop using the term, urging them to make it a habit not to label men with such negative words.
Sarah encouraged women who are in relationships to appreciate their partners instead of using derogatory terms, adding that those who believe men are “scums” should openly tag their partners and address them that way.
Her words…
“Which one be men are scûuum??
Dear Queens, pls normalise “NOT” generating the word “scûuum”.
Kindly tag your own man and call him scûuum biko
For example, “Mr Ifeanyichukwu Okoye” is a scûuum…. U get the point now???
No put me for talk abeg.
Anyways, good night”.

In other news… A female member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has triggered conversations online after alleging that she was denied acceptance by her Place of Primary Assignment (PPA) because of her body size.
The corps member made the claim in a viral video shared on social media, where she appeared dressed in her NYSC uniform. The emotional clip featured the caption: “I’m crying all night long, so why don’t you want this to end?”
In the video, she explained her experience through an on-screen message, stating that being turned away by her PPA due to her appearance was painful and difficult to process.
She wrote: “Not going to lie, getting rejected by my PPA because of my body stung, it’s hard facing discrimination in a program meant to unite us. But I’m keeping my head high, my capacity to serve and succeed doesn’t depend on a scale.”
However, the NYSC member did not reveal the identity of the organisation where she was posted or share additional information about the alleged incident.
Following the video’s circulation, social media users have shared different opinions, with some expressing support for her while others questioned the details surrounding the claim. The conversation has also sparked discussions about body discrimination and fairness within workplace environments.
