Radio and TV personality Genevieve Abrefa Yeboah, known as Oheneni Adazoa, has addressed criticisms following her revelation on The Delay Show that she has not had children after 20 years of marriage.
She explained that sharing such personal information was intended to inspire other women in similar situations to remain strong.
Oheneni emphasized that she does not regret making this public and is unconcerned about those who are uncomfortable with it.
Speaking on Sompa FM, Oheneni acknowledged that the journey has been challenging, but she credits God’s grace for sustaining her.
“Someone said 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, and they need to know they are not alone. We are in this battle together, and we will overcome.
“The situation is not a joke. Sometimes, you see changes as a woman, but it turns out differently. This has been happening for a long time, and it takes God’s strength to endure,” she said in Twi in a video shared by Marigyata on Instagram on August 19, 2024.
What Oheneni Adazoa said about her childlessness during The Delay Show:
“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,” she said.
She added, “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.”
