Binta Ayo Mogaji, an acclaimed Nollywood actress, has spoken about her first child’s delivery experience.
Mogaji discussed motherhood on an upcoming podcast.

Mogaji stated that she eventually gave birth to her child “naturally, six weeks after turning 40.”
“I got pregnant. Unfortunately enough, the pregnancy was ectopic. It stayed right inside the fallopian tube. They took me to like seven hospitals. They gave me the bed and the man said I am not sure you can survive till tomorrow. The operation took them like seven to nine hours,” she said.
“The following day, Ngozi had cried her eyes out…. Shola Sobowale, Sam Loco, Jide Kosoko, everybody was at the hospital. She was they had to remove one fallopian tube but I am living with one and I had my child through natural birth.
“I stopped looking for husband, I wanted to make baby. If I do not have a baby until I am forty then I will adopt a child… Jibola came around the time shortly before I was forty. I had my baby six weeks after I became forty years old.”
