Controversial content creator Izzy Ogbeide has sparked reactions on social media after she mentioned in a video that children are neither blessings nor gifts from God.
The mother of three, known for her outspoken views, described children instead as an expensive subscription.
In the clip, Izzy argued that although society often refers to children as blessings, the reality is that they come with enormous responsibilities that many parents struggle to handle.
She maintained that children are created by their parents’ actions and not handed down by God, like many claim.
Izzy went on to highlight the financial and emotional demands of raising children, noting that parents often underestimate the level of sacrifice involved.
She listed expenses such as swimming lessons, football training, feeding, and daily needs as obligations that weigh heavily on families, especially those already battling financial hardship.
According to her, the struggles many parents face contradict the idea that children are divine gifts.
She claimed that if God truly sent children as blessings, parents would naturally be equipped with the resources needed to care for them without struggle.
“Children are not blessings, and they are not from God. Yes, I don’t care if you believe it or not. Children are from you, not God. They are not gifts. Children are an expensive subscription you can’t return or cancel. Children are what you make, they come from your hard work, not from God. What comes from God is something you don’t merit or work for. The Bible even says the blessing of the Lord adds no sorrow. Children bring responsibility, stress, and bills, so they are something you create. Do you know there are people who can’t even feed their children? They have to beg before their kids eat. If children were truly from God, He would first bless the parents, whether they work or not, before giving them children. You don’t get it? or do you want me to speak in tongues before you understand?” She said
