Nigerian media personality and content creator Amarachi Amusi, popularly known as Ashmusy, has said she is not in a rush to get married even though she is already 30 years old.
She explained that she has taken steps to secure her future motherhood by freezing her eggs, which has given her peace of mind and removed the pressure of time.
Speaking in a recent episode of the Echo Room podcast, Ashmusy said she once came close to getting married to a man she knew was not the right partner for her, but she was driven by desperation and fear of the so-called “biological clock.”
She said, “I want to get married, but I am not desperate. Just in case the right suitor doesn’t come, I am already safeguarded. I am already sure of being a mom by God’s grace.
“Honestly, most women who rush into marriage early do so because of the myth of the biological clock… With that rush, you now end up getting into the wrong marriage. I almost did. I knew the man wasn’t my ideal husband, but I wanted to get married to him because he was ready, and I was desperate to give birth before I clocked 35.
“But I don’t have to go through that again because I have frozen my eggs. In the next 3–10 years, I can confidently go for insemination and have my mixed kid. I want to have a mixed kid,” she added.
