– Child-Free Women Celebrated – Pastor Funmi Olubakin Reacts
Nigerian cleric, Pastor Funmi Olubakin, has expressed concern over the growing celebration of women who consciously choose not to have children, describing the development as painful.
The pastor made the remarks while addressing changing attitudes towards marriage, motherhood and the increasing number of women identifying as child-free.
Speaking on the subject, Olubakin said there was an agenda promoting the celebration of women between their late 20s and late 40s who have decided not to have children.

She also explained the difference between the terms “childless” and “child-free”, noting that while childless generally describes women who desire children but do not have them, child-free refers to those who deliberately choose not to have children.
Addressing men, the cleric suggested that some men’s attitudes and behaviour towards women were making marriage less attractive, thereby contributing to the growing number of women choosing to remain without children.
She described modern women as educated, hardworking and multi-talented individuals who are actively involved in their careers, businesses, church activities and personal ministries.
According to her, many women still desire marriage and happiness but are no longer willing to settle for just anyone.
She therefore urged men to improve their behaviour and become better partners, stressing that their actions could influence women’s decisions about marriage and family life.

Her comments have generated reactions on social media, with some agreeing with her concerns about marriage and relationships, while others have questioned her position on women’s reproductive choices.
The discussion has once again brought attention to conversations surrounding motherhood, marriage, personal freedom and societal expectations placed on women.
