Know your genotype before falling in love, Eucharia tells potential couples
The actress, who has been open about her own experiences with sickle cell anemia, stressed that knowing one's genotype can help prevent the risk of having children with the disease.
"Sickle cell disease is a serious health condition that can have devastating consequences," Anunobi wrote. "As someone who has lived with the condition, I want to urge all young people out there to know their genotype before falling in love."
Anunobi's advice has sparked a lively debate on social media, with many users praising her for speaking out on the issue.
"Sickle cell disease is a reality that many of us face, and it's essential that we take steps to protect ourselves and our loved ones," wrote one user.
Others, however, have argued that knowing one's genotype should not be a prerequisite for love.
"Love is about accepting someone for who they are, genotype and all," wrote another user.
Despite the differing opinions, Anunobi's advice has highlighted the importance of genetic awareness and the need for couples to have open and honest discussions about their health before starting a family.
