“Esther I don’t understand you o. Esther you no wan born? Esther abeg born make I come carry baby. You just dey school since. Use school dey deceive us. Do fast nau. Person wey marry since, you no know say you suppose born. Do born abeg make I come rub powder,” she said.
Esther lamented that her friend’s tone was not only intrusive but also laced with a sense of entitlement and judgment.
She noted that asking a married woman why she hadn’t given birth was very insensitive and shouldn’t be condoned.
According to her, she immediately went ahead to block her friend on WhatsApp for making such remarks about her marital and personal life.
In her words:
“POV: I decided to post my traditional wedding pictures on my WhatsApp story. For marriage that will be clocking 2 years by June. Na em be I don marry since. Very insensitive question to ask a married woman.”
