Nigerian entrepreneur and fashion influencer, Chioma Ikokwu, popularly known as Chioma Goodhair, has responded to unsolicited advice from a follower urging her to settle down and start a family. The businesswoman, known for her luxurious lifestyle and commanding presence in the fashion and beauty space, made her feelings clear in a recent interaction on social media. 

The situation unfolded after Chioma shared a photo on her Instagram page, prompting one of her followers to drop a comment advising her to get married and have children “before it’s too late.” This kind of comment, which many women in the public eye receive frequently, did not go unnoticed by the savvy entrepreneur.

In a direct and composed manner, Chioma replied to the follower’s comment with a brief but impactful statement: "Don't put pressure on me please." Her response quickly sparked conversation online, with many fans and followers expressing support for her stance and criticizing the persistent societal expectations placed on women regarding marriage and motherhood.

Chioma’s reply reflects a growing sentiment among women, particularly in the public space, who are choosing to resist societal pressures and follow life paths that align with their personal goals and values. While marriage and children remain important to many, there's an increasing emphasis on allowing individuals to choose when — or if — these milestones are right for them.

The incident also highlights the pressures women face, particularly as they age, to conform to traditional timelines for marriage and childbearing. In Nigeria and many other cultures, women are often expected to marry and start a family by a certain age, and those who prioritize career or personal growth may find themselves the target of judgmental remarks.

Chioma, a co-founder of the successful luxury hair brand Good Hair Ltd, is known for being vocal about women’s empowerment, personal independence, and living life on her own terms. Her lifestyle and career choices have inspired many young women to pursue their ambitions unapologetically.

Her response, though brief, served as a firm reminder that personal decisions, especially those as significant as marriage and starting a family, should not be subject to public pressure or unsolicited advice.

As social norms continue to evolve, voices like Chioma’s play an important role in shifting the narrative — encouraging a more respectful and individualistic view on life choices.
