Nigerian media personality and content creator, Amarachi Amusi, popularly known as Ashmusy, has said that at 30, she is not in a rush to get married.
She explained that after freezing her eggs to protect her dream of becoming a mother, she now feels secure.
Speaking in a recent episode of the Echo Room podcast, Ashmusy revealed that she almost got married to someone she knew wasn’t her ideal husband out of desperation and the “myth of the 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 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,” Ashmusy added.
