File: Veteran Nollywood actress, Shaffy Bello
Veteran Nollywood actress Shaffy Bello has said she understands why some young women engage in transactional relationships popularly known as “runs”, but urged them not to remain in the lifestyle, stressing the need for growth and self-worth beyond survival choices.
Bello made the remarks during an interview on The Morayo Show hosted by Morayo Afolabi-Brown, in a conversation that has since gone viral on social media.
The full interview was published on the show’s official YouTube channel on May 21 and gained wider attention on Thursday after clips from the interview circulated on X and other platforms.
Speaking on self-worth and the pressures many young women face, Bello said women do not need to expose their bodies or chase online attention to be seen as attractive or successful.
