Stop adding 'Mrs' title to my name, I've never been married - Kemi Olulonyo warns

Controversial Nigerian journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, recently took to Twitter to address the people who are fond of adding the Mrs title to her name.

In a post where someone complimented her and then moved on to address her as Dr, Mrs Kemi. She noted that it is an insult to address her as a married woman and she once slapped someone for making the mistake.

Kemi further said that many women think the tag is a trophy title, whereas it’s not.

"Did you know that it's an insult to write "Mrs" beside my name? I once slapped someone in real life who did. Some of you women think it's a trophy title. IT'S NOT."

In a reply to her, a user identified as @Immobiliari mentioned that the journalist answers her family name and not her husband’s name, and urged the public to take note.

Olunloyo was quick to tell him that he was not focused and she clearly wrote that she has never been married.
