Speaking on Okay FM on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, the media personality offered candid advice to women, encouraging them to embrace motherhood without necessarily forcing marriage.
According to her, personal experiences have shaped her outlook on life, particularly regarding childbirth and relationships.
“The way I see life might be different from others. My first child was not a mistake, and I was 24 years old. Don’t force any man you conceive with to marry you, or you will regret it. Allow him; if he is meant for you, God will bring him back,” she said.
Akuapem Poloo stressed that having children should never be viewed negatively, describing it as a blessing regardless of circumstances.
“If you are a woman and give birth, never see it as a mistake. Give birth because it was God’s blessing. None of my children was a mistake,” she added.
She further explained that marriage should not be rushed, noting that it can happen at the appropriate time in one’s life.
“Marriage is not for all. It can come at the right time. If you are 18 and above, focus on your books, and if pregnancy comes, I will advise you not to abort. Keep it and grow with the child. You will be surprised how both of you will survive. This child will be a blessing to you,” she stated.
The actress also emphasised that she has no regrets about becoming a mother early, describing her journey as fulfilling despite societal expectations.
Her comments have since ignited debate online, with many sharing differing opinions on her stance. While some have praised her for encouraging responsibility and resilience, others have questioned the broader implications of her advice for young women.
