A Nigerian lady has sparked a debate after advising unmarried women aged 37 and above to consider having children, even if they are not married.
In a video posted on TikTok, Mrs. Sugar argued that it is better to have a child than to wait indefinitely for marriage.
She described having a baby out of wedlock as a practical choice for women approaching their 40s or beyond, emphasizing that it is not a bad decision.
“See my sister, I know you are waiting on the Lord to give you the right partner. Marriage is a beautiful thing, but as marriage never come, my sister, born pikin [have a child],” she said.
Mrs. Sugar further encouraged women to explore legal and ethical methods of conception if they do not want to conceive with a random person.
She added that having a child before marriage does not prevent future happiness or relationships, as women would still find fulfilment knowing they already have children.
Her remarks have since drawn mixed reactions on social media. While some supported her stance, citing the importance of personal fulfilment, others argued that the decision to have children should be guided by personal values and circumstances.
