Why Controversial Sex Therapist Jaruma Got Married
In a recent interview with the "Issues and Society" podcast, Hauwa Mohammed, popularly known as Jaruma, a self-proclaimed sex therapist, opened up about her decision to get married. Jaruma, who has been the subject of controversy in Nigeria, revealed that she married Ross Fahad Isabor in 2018 and divorced in 2021, with the union resulting in a child.
Jaruma’s decision to tie the knot was largely motivated by the intense backlash she received from northerners for selling aphrodisiacs as a single lady. According to Jaruma, the criticism was intense, with many wondering why a single lady would teach them about bedroom secrets for a fee. Despite the challenges, Jaruma’s business thrived, with her earning a whopping N760 million in just three years.
In a candid admission, Jaruma revealed that she didn’t get married for love but to escape the pressure she was facing from the north. She met her ex-husband just a month before their wedding and revealed that she told him that marriage was not for love but to get away from the pressure.
Jaruma’s decision to get married has sparked controversy, with some questioning her motives. Her ex-husband, Ross Fahad Isabor, has also spoken out, warning Jaruma to stop using his name to sell her "fake products."
The story of Jaruma’s marriage serves as a reminder of the challenges that women in the sex industry often face, and the lengths they may go to in order to succeed. While Jaruma’s decision to get married may have been motivated by pragmatic reasons, it also raises important questions about the pressures that women face in this industry.
