“I Can Never Be Any Man’s Baby Mama” – Tomama Takes a Stand

Tomama’s statement is about the growing acceptance of having children out of wedlock and the pressure some men put on women to get pregnant before marriage. She said having a child is a big responsibility and shouldn’t be taken lightly. In her words “Una think say pikin na hamper…. if you no go marry me proper, you no go see pikin” meaning childbirth should follow proper marriage.
Comments have been rolling in online and many are in support of her. CelebrityNote has gathered some of these comments which are part of the larger conversation about societal norms and personal choices when it comes to marriage and parenthood.

While on the other angle I personally think this child birth or pregnancy b4 marriage has closed the gap on the rate of marriages without children..most people can’t wait for 5 or 10 years before childbirth again..them wan they sure say your womb de okay before them pay bride price like the productiveness of the man too sexually”
