Her video was accompanied by a message urging people to reconsider their motivations for having children.

She questioned whether people were having children solely to secure care and support in their old age.

In her words:

"40 years with no kids. People still don't understand. 40 years no kids and living my best life. Having kids is a choice and you can be happy if you decide not to have kids. You're giving birth to children because you want them to be your nurse or caregiver? Ask yourself why you want kids."

Commenting on the story, a Nigerian mum of three, Angela Akaraonye, criticised her decision, stating that children bring life to a home.

"I cannot imagine life without my three kids oooo. They bring life to me. They make me feel alive. I honestly pray that she changes her decision but if not, then I pray she doesn't live to regret it as well," she said.
