Renowned radio and TV personality, Genevieve Abrefa Yeboah, known as Oheneni Adazoa, has responded to critics who questioned her decision to share her personal struggle with childlessness after 20 years of marriage.

During her show on Osompa FM, Oheneni explained that her purpose in sharing her story was to empower women facing similar challenges, encouraging them to draw strength from their own experiences.

She expressed no regrets about going public with her journey, referencing biblical stories of barren women who eventually gave birth to children with extraordinary destinies. Oheneni made it clear that she is unfazed by those who may feel uncomfortable with her openness.

“Someone mentioned that I shouldn’t have talked about not having children after 20 years of marriage on Delay’s show, and I responded, ‘Why not?’ There are others in the same situation who need to know they are not alone. We are in this battle together, and we will overcome.

“This situation is no joke. Sometimes, as a woman, you notice changes, but things turn out differently. This has been happening for a long time, and it takes God’s strength to endure.”

“I want to encourage those going through similar situations that the tears are enough, get up and do what is needed.”

In a heartfelt moment on The Delay Show, Oheneni Adazoa courageously shared her personal struggle, saying, “I’ve been married for twenty years, and although I haven’t been blessed with a child yet, I still hold onto hope. This journey has been incredibly challenging, filled with ups and downs, but I remain resilient and hopeful for a brighter future.”

Drawing inspiration from the biblical account of David, who encouraged himself in the Lord, Oheneni shared her own testament of faith, emphasizing that she is unfazed by her childlessness, as she believes she has a divine mandate to give birth to a child destined for greatness.

“When we read the Bible, we see that all the barren women, those who cried to the Lord for children, didn’t give birth to ordinary children. Their children had great destinies and I’m confident my unborn child will be a moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana,” she said.
