Veteran Nigerian actress, Binta Ayo Mogaji, has okayed getting pregnant outside wedlock for women above 35-year-old
In a recent interview, the movie star stressed that the movie star stressed that motherhood is more important than societal expectations.
She said, “What I’m saying is, once you are 35 or older and you don’t have a husband, but there is someone in your life who is not ready for marriage but wants a child, have a child with him, even if he won’t accept responsibility for the child.
“When she is looking for a husband at 35, they will say she is too old and won’t be able to wash clothes for her mother-in-law or be controlled. The man will be advised to find a younger lady to listen to him.
“And if she is fortunate to get married, she’ll already be old before her child grows up. While some people already became grandmothers at 45 or 50, you are still looking for a husband, when will you find a husband and become a grandmother?
“So, my advice is, if God blesses you with someone who likes you and you can have children together, go ahead and do it as long as you desire a child and can take care of the child. But if you cannot find a man to impregnate you, then consider adoption.”
