Ghanaian media personality and influencer, Efia Odo, has reignited public discourse around societal expectations of women and motherhood by firmly declaring that she will not be rushed into having children simply because of age-based traditions.
Taking to social media platform X, the outspoken socialite—real name Andrea Owusu—challenged the belief that women should become mothers before turning 30. She emphasized that bringing a child into the world should be a deeply considered decision, not one made to satisfy cultural timelines or public pressure.
Her post confronted the issue from multiple angles. She argued that emotional and financial readiness matter more than arbitrary deadlines and expressed her unwillingness to have a child in a situation lacking stability or love.
What struck many online users was not just her stance, but the clarity and confidence with which she rejected the double standards often applied to women. She pointed out that the same society urging women to give birth early is quick to criticize them when they become single parents.
For Efia Odo, motherhood is a future possibility—but only on her terms. She has made it clear that if it takes until her 40s to create the right environment, she’s willing to wait. Her remarks have drawn both applause and debate, with many supporting her decision to prioritize personal well-being and stability over social pressure.

The same society making fun of born 1’s are the same ones pressuring women to have kids just because. I refuse to bring a child into a broken home. My body my choice https://t.co/KuR2sVpvT8
