Venita Akpofure Says Only Younger Men Approach Her, She Just Posted a 62-Year-Old Man as Her Fiancé.

In other news, Venita Akpofure claims only younger men have the bravery, and empty bank accounts, to chase her at 39. But off-camera, she just unveiled a 62-year-old fiancé while secretly setting her dating app age filter to "undergrad only."

In other news, Venita Akpofure has made it clear that at 39, she is still the one being chased, but her recent post says otherwise.

The Nollywood actress and reality star recently appeared on the Tea With Tay podcast, where she revealed that she continues to attract suitors, with most of the men approaching her being younger. "I am 39, but if I told you I was 28, you would believe me. I only get approached by younger men. They are more courageous than the older ones," she said. She also noted that younger men make up for what they lack in their bank accounts with bravery and audacity.

(yimu like Bella)

Venita, who is divorced and has two children, previously had a romantic relationship with fellow reality star Adekunle, but their relationship ended shortly after the Big Brother Naija All Stars show.

But here is what the blogs did not tell you.

The real reason Venita keeps attracting younger men is not because she looks 28. It is because she has been using a dating app where she set her age to 25. She also recently updated her Instagram bio to say "Age is just a number" and has been posting photos from 2015 to keep her feed looking youthful. The men are not courageous, they are just confused.

Edgar doesn't lie.
