Controversial freelancer and social media personality Ushie Rita Uguamaye, better known as Corper Raye, has sparked online debate after revealing that she quit volunteering with an NGO that supported single mothers.
In a post shared on her X (formerly Twitter) account, Raye said she became frustrated after one of the single mothers at the organization announced she was pregnant again. She described the situation as defeating the purpose of the initiative.
She wrote, “Two months ago, I volunteered with an NGO to cater for single mothers and see how we can foot some bills. Tell me why one of the single mothers said God has blessed her again? Meaning she’s pregnant! How are you a single mother and pregnant? I’ve quit volunteering please!”
The post quickly went viral, generating hundreds of reactions. While some users supported her stance and argued that welfare programs are often misused, others criticized her for being insensitive and judgmental.
One user commented, “You can’t wait to want to be socially correct to be a kind person. What she deems a blessing in her experience is not up for your own judgment. Her story could also teach us that perhaps educating and orienting women is more important than supplying them hand-outs.”
Raye, however, fired back at her critics in a lengthy follow-up post, saying she was simply venting her frustration and had little patience for constant online attacks.
“One thing about me is I don’t care what society thinks. I’ve been called rude, stubborn, and all sorts of names. Do you think I give AF? This was me just venting. So many things I’ve done behind closed doors that I never mentioned. I was just frustrated and venting. That aside, you are mentally not okay. Stupid MFs always waiting to criticize me for existing and tweeting like everyone else. You hate that my tweet gets people talking and not yours? Nonsense behavior,” she ranted.
