Actually, After marriage there is nothing that is easy for a married woman, marriage is a process, I pray he get pregnant soon, that's if she want to.

God will give you your own child at His own time.

KWEEN said...

Lol. That's Nigeria for you. If you don't have kids within the first year of your marriage, tongues start to wag, your fertility is questioned and prying eyes follow your tummy whenever you step out. They simply forget that God is the giver of children. #smh

ellajohn said...

Lolzzz its our tradition once you are married the next thing people starts looking at the size of ur tummy.

Cynthia Iyede said...

Madam can u pls take betty irabor's advice n keep ur marriage off dis platform (social media)! Gush. Kilode? There r somethings that r meant to be private abeg n isn't it in ur own best interest to have kids now? U nid to reduce ur appearances @ events n take a 2nd honey moon with ur hubby. #Theneedful

Eastner said...

You've only just started...after the first child..there's still gonna be questions/monitoring concerning when you will ve the second and so on and so forth... just gotta deal with it without allowing it to bother you.

I can imagine and hear her very annoying voice while reading the tweets...
I watched her vlog last 2weeks, oh №...
I wasn't impressed one bit.
Can't believe she's a Radio Personality.

Anonymous said...

It's a question that every woman faces. You get your share of this pressure here, Linda, about marrying and then rushing to have kids before it's too late. We're the only species who lives our lives having to explain ourselves to family and strangers.

Anonymous said...

I'm with Toke on this one. People should just learn to mind their business and stop putting even more pressures on waiting mothers.

Moonshine said...

Toke i think its too early for you to be having this talk in the media as all eyes will now focus on you but on the other hand why wont they be expectant when you dated him for so long, pple already tagged you guys as married long before you made it official so just allow the uterus do the work it was made for biko.

obietrezy said...

Well this babe ain't cute at all.

ayino said...

Yes ooo,I feel your pains oo,even if you have a kid people keep nagging,your. Child is overdue for another one,no one bothering if you are financially allot or not,the society is crazy,let people live and breath happily and we should learn to respect ones another's plan and privacy

Anonymous said...

As a child, there is pressure to do well in school, once you graduate from University there is pressure to get a 'good' job when you get a good job there is pressure to meet the 'right' person...

Why do we live on these rules???

Marriage is a commitment, children will come when they come...

nkiru said...

yes is like that but pple should get it into their head that is God that give children nt man power hahahahaha!

Unknown said...

Let your uterus breathe after 2 kids, they have to confirm if you can get pregnant & give birth. Having Kids is every man dream...

OMA said...

Awww, i didnt particularly like Toke before now but after reading this, i have love for the gal. i mean, not many girls can speak openly of something as delicate as this...

Btw, it is sweet the way we Africans are concerned about one another's business but i think it is also important to draw the line somewhere, The uterus and what happens there should be one of those places!

who cares??later dem go say na somebody pursue dem commot husband house...keep ur family issue to yaself...idoit..i so much dislike dys girl..

MY DEAR THE PRESSURE IS REAL. I WAS UNDER ALOT OF PRESSURE JUST 3MONTHS AFTER MY WEDDING, THAT EVEN WHEN I FELL ILL 3 TIMES, I DINT TELL ANYONE, COS THE NEXT THING IS TO SUSPECT THAT IM PREGNANT. THE FASTEST WAY "NOT" TO GET PREGNANT IS TO WORRY ABOUT IT.
5 MONTHS INTO OUR WEDDING I WAS GETTING SO FRANTIC AND HYSTERICAL, NOT UNTIL MY HUBBY SAT ME DOWN ONE NIGHT AND TOLD ME TO CALM DOWN. HE SAID HAVING A CHILD NOW IS GONNA BE A MOJOR SETBACK TO ALL OUR FUTURE PLANS. HE ALSO PROMISED ME CHRISMAS VACATION TO DUBAI AND PARTS OF EUROPE.
THAT WAS THE NIGHT I TOOK MY MIND OFF THE ISSUE AND THEN THAT WAS THE VERY NIGHT I BECAME PREGNANT.
LADIES PLEASE, TAKE UR MINDS OFF THIS ISSUE AND IT WILL HAPPEN LIKE MAGIC

Anonymous said...

Toke don't mind the stupid idiots who won't kind their business ........I just am pregnant after 9 years of marriage and I know what my eyes saw.....we Africans are the worst culprits, idiotic morons.......even women that were lucky and God just blessed will be talking to you like it was because they were saints they got pregnant......toke God will bless you in his own time, just don't let them frustrate you....it is well

Word.Words of a woman who knows her value,who knows she is a human and a person.and she can attain any height.
Women and the Society put other women into unnecessary headache. eg How far? when are we drinking the wedding wine?,has he not proposed? after that, it becomes, has it enter? next, when are you giving baby a sibling?and it goes on and on and on.
Dear society,we women are not objects and we actually aspire for more

Anonymous said...

i am not a fan of Toke's but on this topic, i kinda concur. Let her uterus breathe.

drS said...

No,that's not what should come after marriage sir. I and my husband waited 2 years after marriage intentionally to enjoy life as a couple and plan well for our child. Our child came 2 years 5months after we were married and I'm glad we planned it as we did because we are ready, no surprises, we have enough to give him the best, good jobs, a good house and are settled. I have friends who conceived on the wedding night or 1st month after marriage, were virgins and they never had the opportunity to discover themselves sexually before children came. If you are a married man with a child /children, you would know that d sex life changes. I also have a relative who lost her ovaries to cancer and can't have kids but is married, should she kill herself? So my dear, children shouldn't be the next thing immediately after marriage, enjoy each other as a couple and plan ahead, you won't regret it. :)

Abiiiiiooooooo!!!!! I feel you my sister, wetin my eye and eye never see self. When you are yet to marry, all you hear is get married, please get married, do quick and marry... then, when you get married, they start that first month even before your honey moon, you are pregg, ypu are pregg, then, after that.. train your kids well. train your kids well!!! no be small thing ooo!

Unknown said...

Nne plz don't mind them, if u try and still can't but I pray you should, just employ me to be your surrogate...you're husband is so cute but first I need to know if his "thing" is functional too...lol

Linda ? "Many months" after ? When did she just get married ?

PRETTY GIRL said...

Social media is now the new trendy esp for Nigerian celebs, SMH! ... I mean y'all need to get it together sometimes and deal with your shit without actually sharing virtually everything that's going on in your life on social media#Arrrrrgghhhhhh...On a lighter note, I agree with her....Her Uterus needs to breathe LOL

Anonymous said...

Who in the hell carez??? Who told her she has an uterus? An uterus long damaged due to wayward lifestyle. Abeg go sit your phony as down somewhere.

My dear we waited two years too. best 2 years of my life. People don't know how stressful marriage is, then add pregnancy hormones at the beginning and it's just crazy. calm down and fuck for fun first

Cynthia iyede, She wasn't discussing her marriage, she was talking about nosy peeps who ask questions that don't concern them.... Like you. Stop twisting things and go get a life yourself!! You're accusing someone of discussing matters that should be private to her, yet you're poking your long nose into their personal matter by saying "it's in her interest to have kids" and "she should take a 2nd honeymoon with her husband" really?!! #FOH!

Between, Toke's comment doesn't mean she can't conceive; Maybe she isn't ready to, or is not willing to. Na by force? People should stop trying to live life for others.
