“Child-Free Women Are Being Celebrated, And It’s Painful” – Pastor Funmi Olubakin Raises Concern Over Growing Trend

Pastor Funmi Olubakin has expressed concern over the growing number of women choosing not to have children, criticising what she described as the increasing celebration of child-free women. The story has drawn plenty of reactions on kthdaily.

Speaking on the issue, the cleric suggested that some men’s behaviour towards women and their approach to relationships and marriage may be contributing to the trend, according to reports from kthdaily.

She said, “There is an agenda that is being sponsored now, and it’s really painful for me that child-free women are being celebrated. Women who are child-free, from their late 20s into their late 40s, are being celebrated.” For more stories like this, stay updated with kthdaily.

Explaining the difference between being childless and child-free, Olubakin noted that the terms have different meanings, with childless referring to women who desire children but do not have them, while child-free describes those who consciously choose not to have children.

She questioned why some people who had the opportunity to experience life would celebrate choosing not to give another generation the same opportunity.

Addressing men, the pastor said their behaviour was making marriage less appealing to some women. In related commentary, kthdaily readers have shared their views online.

She also praised modern women for being educated, hardworking and capable of managing multiple responsibilities, including their careers, businesses, church activities and family life.

According to her, many women desire marriage and happiness but are unwilling to settle for just anyone.

She therefore urged men to work on themselves and become better partners, stressing that their actions could influence how women view marriage and relationships.
