A few years ago, this Nollywood actress disclosed on social media that she had her first child, Isio, via Invitro Fertilization (IVF).
Not stopping there, she also went ahead in her post to encourage women who wanted to have children not to be ashamed of getting them through means such as IVF, surrogacy, donors and more.
3. Folasade Tinubu Ojo:
Folasade Tinubu Ojo is the first daughter of former Lagos state governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. She reportedly welcomed two children via surrogacy in 2017 and 2019.
4. Nike Osinowo:
Former Nigerian beauty queen, Nike Osinowo, also makes this list after she welcomed twin babies via surrogacy.
Osinowo also shared the interesting story of how she kept sleeping and dreaming of a child who would come to play with her and she took it as God’s sign that she could be a mother.
The ex-beauty queen added that she then researched how people suffering from extreme Endometriosis could have children and she saw the option of surrogacy.
It is beautiful to see how many women’s lives have changed and how those who desire to be mothers are able to become one without any feeling of shame or inadequacy.
