Ini Edo confirms surrogacy rumours, opens up about past miscarriages

Nollywood actress, Ini Edo, has confirmed rumours of her welcoming a daughter through a surrogate mother.

After days of keeping silent since the rumours began, the actress finally opened up in an interview with Stella Korkus, which was published on Friday.

Surrogacy is a practice where a woman (a surrogate) carries a child for another person through artificial insemination of eggs.

Confirming the news, Edo stated that the daughter was genetically hers because her eggs were used to fertilize the child.

She said, “Yes I do have a daughter and I had her through surrogacy. The eggs are mine and so genetically, she’s my blood.

“I chose this path to fulfil my dream of becoming a mother. I still have a good number of eggs frozen in case I decide to do surrogacy again or carry my baby myself.”

She also mentioned that she had the daughter almost a year ago, stating that she planned on breaking the news herself.

“I was hoping to talk about her on her first birthday in a few months but mischief makers beat me to it and spoilt the beautiful story with lies,” Edo said.

Reacting to rumours that her child’s father was a married man, identified as Kome, the actress said, “It is so sad that in Nigeria, when a ‘single’ woman is friends with a guy, it must mean to people that they are dating.

“Kome has been my friend for years and that’s what it is, period. He is a responsible family man and doesn’t deserve to be dragged into my motherhood story.”

She then revealed that she opted for a donor because of her fears saying, “I opted for a donor for me and my baby’s peace of mind.

“Another major reason I opted for a donor is because it scares me so much when I see banter and controversies between a mother and a father over a baby in public forums.”

During the interview, Edo also opened up about her past miscarriages, pointing out that her experience did not influence her decision on surrogacy.

“I had a series of miscarriages in the past but that wasn’t my reason for going this route .I still hope to carry babies In my womb in the future, God willing,” the actress said.

Congratulations to her!

I commend her for this move.

Dearest Naija women, this is 2021. If you want a child, no husband forthcoming, fck societal rules and get that child.

Even if it takes stealing sperm, steal it!

After all, they always use lux soap to waste it inside bathroom. Is it that 1 drop they gave you that will kill them?

Don’t stay and be asking “did you come inside?” at 38. Or drinking postinor 2 upandan.

Children would love you in good and bad. Dirty mummy, fat mummy, stretch marks mummy, mummy is mummy.

Don’t allow hypocritical Nigerians dictate how you live your life. Especially when you are not harming anyone.

Arsenate:
Just Pocohantas being true to form.

Consistently dishing out advice that seemingly sound intelligent but with a little bit of thinking you'll recognise how dumb they always are.
Sadly, sizeable number of Nigerians don't do "a little bit of thinking" so she gets validated around here and keeps going on and on.

Why are you guys pained?

Shebi men don’t benefit from marriage? Oya give us small sperm na. Ntoorr!

Hahahaha

So what stopped her from carrying her own child, is she infertile?

Coz I don’t understand why surrogacy

Damnnn niggar
Congratulations though

Just say we men are very important...and stop all these many many talk
We are absolutely necessary and indispensable...

We are the boss...

Listening to the song right now tittled "you the Boss" by Rick Ross ft nicky minaj....even nicky minaj attest to the fact that we are the boss

Congratulations to her

Petition received by efcc for husband snatching.

Wonderful

Did you know??



Ladies, if your blood group has a minus sign (A-, B-, O- etc), be careful.

Being pregnant for a partner with a plus sign on his blood group (A+, B+, O+, etc) could cause problems for your future pregnancies.

Not a bad idea. To each his own.

Congratulations to her

That's good. If she can't find a husband or vice versa then this is a good one. Time is indeed ticking. But then she has frozen eggs. Time can't stop her now. Very smart!!!

All born na born, congrats

.

u wan behave like an oyibo, are u one?

Well I understand her reasons here, fear of menopause

I like your style . Marriage no be for everybody

Edo

Eayah
Eku orire Ma

I forgot this one sef

So she no even get womb again?

That is one of the dangers of whoring around and subsequently destroying your womb with countless and countless of abortions.

Ogbeni go and find a father for that baby. All these your explanations would do no good to anyone.
BTW, who services your engine these days? The imaginary donor or your househelp, Davies?

Congrats!

This donor thing though. Hope the child doesn't choke you with "where's my dad" soon.

Nice one. It is high time we normalize surrogacy.

Congrats, auntie is afraid of childbirth wahala
