“It is an idea from the pits of hell” – Actor Williams Uchemba slams men having kids outside marriage

Nollywood actor Williams Uchemba has taken a strong stance against the growing trend of ‘baby mama’ and ‘baby daddy’ relationships, calling it “madness” and “selfish.”

On July 28, 2024, the actor addressed the matter on his Instagram account, explicitly targeting people who purposefully bear children in order to avoid the commitment of marriage.

“Guys, what is this madness that we are doing now? Especially some of the young men that I see now want us this stupidity? Because that is what it is. Why would you think it’s cool to intentionally impregnate your girlfriend just to have a kid just because you don’t want to be committed to a woman? Or because you don’t like the idea of marriage?” he asked.

Uchemba emphasized that having children outside of marriage adds to the deterioration of family values and has a detrimental impact on the children’s life.

He went on: “It is an idea from the pits of hell and if you’re planning to do such a thing, remove yourself from that madness because what you don’t know is that you’re destroying the life of that child, not just your own.”

The actor questioned the logic behind young men who intentionally impregnate their lovers in order prevent commitment and the institution of marriage.

“Majority of the problems around the world come from broken homes; either the father left or the mother isn’t there. There is a reason why God put the marriage institution in place and why he put family there. The purpose of a family is marriage and then procreation. You have no business getting anybody pregnant because you have your own selfish reasons for not wanting to be committed to one person. You’re selfish and it’s going to affect that child,” he explained.

He also chastised women who choose to have children with their partners without the aim of marrying, calling this behavior “Western nonsense” that undermines traditional family values.

“And some of you girls now think it’s cool to intentionally have kids with your boyfriend. I see that madness going around, even in the entertainment industry. Who has taught you this Western nonsense?” he asked.

Uchemba concluded, “Did your parents raise you like this? It needs to stop; you’re destroying family values… If you’re not ready to commit, then get out of that space. It’s understandable if it’s a mistake but when it becomes intentional to avoid marriage but you want the benefits of marriage, you’re a thief. Let’s stop it! Wait if you aren’t ready.”
