I Became A Mother At 40 With One Fallopian Tube – Ayo Mogaji

Nollywood actress, Binta Ayo Mogaji, has revealed that she had her only child at 40 with one fallopian tube.

The veteran actress revealed this on a podcast: “Talk To B,” hosted by another Nollywood actress, Biola Adebayo.

Mogaji said she was almost giving up on having her own child when she found out she was pregnant for a lawyer, simply identified as Ajibola, who had been married for 14 years without an issue.

She revealed that she had made up her mind to adopt once she turns 40 and did not find a man to get pregnant for.

She however met Ajibola before she turned 40 and miraculously had her only son six weeks after she clocked four decades on earth despite having lost a fallopian tube during the pregnancy.

Mogaji said: “There was this lawyer who wanted to marry me because he had been in a marriage for 14 years and they never had a child.

“He took me to his mum and I was looking for a child at that time.

“Our mothers were introduced and I got pregnant.

“Unfortunately, the pregnancy was ectopic.

“It stayed right inside the fallopian tube and LUTH (Lagos University Teaching Hospital) was on strike at that time.

“So, by the time we realised what was happening, they took me to seven hospitals and the late Uncle Eddie Aderinokun was the one who gave me a note to the hospital where they admitted me.

“They didn’t even want to admit me.

“The doctor said he wasn’t sure if I could survive till tomorrow and I said: ‘Do you believe in God? Even if you do not believe in God, believe in me because I believe in God. We did not have an agreement that I was going to die like this.’

“They did the operation and it took them seven to nine hours the following day.”
