- Oheneni Adazoa addresses criticism for sharing her 20-year childlessness struggle
- She aims to encourage others facing similar challenges, saying "we're in this battle together"
- Oheneni reveals her late mother's worry about her childlessness contributed to her passing
Radio and TV personality Oheneni Adazoa has spoken out against criticisms she faced after sharing her personal struggle with childlessness despite being married for 20 years. In a recent interview on Sompa FM, Oheneni explained that her decision to go public with her story was intended to encourage other women facing similar challenges.
“I have no regrets about making my situation public,” Oheneni stated, unfazed by those who may be uncomfortable with her revelation. “Someone mentioned that I shouldn’t have talked about not having children after 20 years of marriage on Delay’s show, and I responded, ‘Why not?’ There are others in the same situation who need to know they are not alone. We are in this battle together, and we will overcome.”
Oheneni acknowledged the difficulty of her journey, expressing gratitude for God’s strength in sustaining her. “This situation is no joke. Sometimes, as a woman, you notice changes, but things turn out differently. This has been happening for a long time, and it takes God’s strength to endure.”
During her appearance on The Delay Show, Oheneni candidly shared her struggles with childlessness, saying, “I’ve been married for twenty years. I don’t have a child yet, but I’m still hoping for one. It has not been easy; it’s been a tough journey.”
Oheneni also reflected on the impact her situation had on her late mother, adding, “I want people to understand that no one wishes to enter into marriage and not have children. I’m the only daughter, and my mother passed away last year. I believe part of the reason she died was because she became worn out from worrying about the fact that I haven’t been able to have children.”
