I got married to avoid backlash for selling sex products – Jaruma

• Hauwa Mohammed, popularly known as Jaruma, has opened up about the real reason behind her marriage to Ross Fahad Isabor.
• The union ended in 2021 after three years together.
• Jaruma, who gained widespread attention for selling aphrodisiacs, revealed in a recent interview on the Issues and Society podcast that she tied the knot to escape the intense backlash from her business venture.

Controversial self-proclaimed sex therapist, Hauwa Mohammed, popularly known as Jaruma, has disclosed why she got married.

WITHIN NIGERIA recalls that Jaruma got married to Ross Fahad Isabor in 2018 and divorced in 2021. The union is blessed with a child.

Speaking in an interview on the ‘Issues and Society’ podcast, Jaruma said she got married because of the intense backlash received from northerners for selling aphrodisiacs as a single lady.

According to Jaruma, her decision to marry was a reaction to societal pressures rather than love. In her words:

“There was massive criticism from the north because I was selling sex products as a single lady. They wondered why people allowed a single lady to teach them what happens in the bedroom for lots of money.

“It wasn’t easy at all. The sex industry is a multi-billion industry, I have made N760 million in 3 years. So I thought the industry would not die and I have a booming business so I can’t just leave because of the heat I was going through.

“I just said if marriage is the problem, let me just do it. I didn’t get married because of love, I got married a month after meeting my ex-husband just to get away from the pressure I got from the north.

“He knew it was not for love but pressure because I told him.”

Recall that Ross Fahad Isabor came out in 2022 to warn Jaruma to stop using his name to sell her “fake products.”
