Nollywood actress Opeyemi Aiyeola has sent a message to women on IVF and Surrogacy.
In a TikTok live, she told those who had their babies through IVF or surrogacy to speak out as she noted how their testimonies can be of help to other women. According to her, sharing testimonies of how IVF and surrogacy worked for them, would make more women believe in it and try it.
Aiyeola stated that this is one of the reasons she applauds those who speak out with their full chest on how IVF and surrogacy have helped her, and she stressed that people should stop giving half-baked testimonies.
“Those of you that did surrogacy, let people know so that they would know that surrogacy works. That’s why I applaud people who come out with their full chest and say they had their child through surrogacy or IVF. You all will now give half-baked testimony which doesn’t help others”.
Similarly, actress, Mary Njoku had sent a message to Nigerian religious women, noting how there was nothing wrong with IVF. She admonished religious women to feel free to include IVF in their testimonies so that God can use them to inspire and bless other families as well.
In a follow-up post, she slammed those who are fond of saying IVF failed them but God gave them a miracle. Calling such a statement absurd, she noted how IVF is a miracle and so is a C-section. She told them to stop using religion to discourage others from receiving their blessings.
In other news, Opeyemi had advised those in relationships, telling them not to go into any relationship with just their heart and soul. She admonished them to go with their brain, as she stated that it is important not to allow the spirit of jagbajantis to manipulate their brain.
To add to it, Aiyeola shared a thought-provoking message to Nigerians, telling them never to allow the family they come from to damage them family that come from them. Meaning, don’t allow the damage done to you by your family to affect your children.
