Kindly share this story:
Actress and media personality Nancy Isime has suggested that truly loving children could, in some cases, mean choosing not to bring them into the world because of life’s challenges.
The actress made the remark during a recent appearance on the Thanks For Coming podcast which started trending on X on Tuesday, while responding to a question about how many children she hopes to have.
According to Isime, the hardships people face in life made her question whether having children is always the best decision.
“You know the craziest thing about loving children? I feel like if you really love children, you wouldn’t want to bring them into the world,” she said.
“Are you not suffering today? Is Earth not ghetto? Are you not going through a lot? Don’t you wish some days that you were not born? did you ask to be here, thank you I rest my case.” she asked.
Despite her remarks, Isime said she has not ruled out becoming a parent.
““No, everybody has to suffer, they will come and suffer their own, they’re not gonna escape it.”
