Nina Ivy sparks heated debate after advocating for early motherhood in 20s, defends her stance

Reality TV star Nina Ivy, known for her participation in Big Brother Naija, has faced significant criticism after advocating for early motherhood, particularly during one’s 20s.

The backlash followed her sharing a personal preference for starting a family in that decade, even mentioning that she would consider using a sperm donor if necessary. In response to the criticism, Nina clarified on Instagram that her views were based on her own experiences and were not meant to offend.

She acknowledged that everyone’s path to parenthood is different and emphasized that her comments were intended to highlight the variety of experiences rather than dictate a standard for others. Nina expressed understanding of the concerns raised, noting that not all women have control over when they can have children, but pointed out that some do have that choice.

She encouraged focusing on the positive aspects of life, regardless of when one chooses to have children, and defended her perspective by citing examples like actress Omoni Oboli, who has balanced early motherhood with career goals. While her posts have sparked widespread debate, with some agreeing and others criticizing her for not considering broader challenges, Nina reiterated that her views are based on her personal experiences.
