Chimamanda used her eggs, that's the point of this thread.
The point is that one child is insufficient to satisfy her motherhood instincts.

Why would a woman want more children; a “bigger” family, which reduces the likelihood the “MAN” will go outside because he wants more children.

I don't want to say what's on my mind. However, this is double standards coming from Chimamanda who is a self acclaimed feminist. Is she not supposed to be a voice for women being a feminist?. Surrogacy is a form of slavery, prostitution, exploitation of a woman's body. She knew she didn't practice what she preaches, little wonder she didn't come out earlier. Like it or not, accept it or not, any baby born through surrogacy does not belong to you biologically. No matter how some states or countries might legalize it, biologically, the child isn't yours still. Well, I wish her well. But next time, stay one place, if you want to practice feminism, do it with your full chest, otherwise, commot. Reminds me of Linda Ikeji preaching abstinence but lo and behold, aunty was busy jumping on Uber to go and collect. I hate double standards.

PS; it seems some folks just want to argue for the sake of it. There's a reason she's called a Surrogate Mother
Feminism is pro choices, if the woman chooses out of her freewill and its been paid for it, then there is no slavery involved

Did you even check the meaning of surrogacy before posting this? Let me explain it to you in it's most basic form: The husband's sperm is taken from him, the wife's egg is taken from her, they are joined together through a process called in vitro fertilization in the lab, and then this is inserted into the surrogate's (a consenting, well paid adult female) womb.

Now tell me, does this look like the process you just described above?
Understandable!
But if you look at it from the angle of morality, there's similarity with prostitution in such agreement with the surrogate mother, something one wouldn't expect from a renowned "feminist".
No parent normal parent would allow their daughter to be used as surrogate mother for someone just for monetary benefits.

What is this one saying? Did her husband complain to you that he doesn't want more children with her?

Do you mean like when banks take advantage of people who are strapped for cash by giving them loans?. Or when businesses take advantage of people strapped for cash by giving them jobs? 😩😩😩😩😩

I am trying really hard to understand how you came to process this issue in the way you do, so help me out here. 😑😑😑😑
Good evening man, The hypothetical examples of a business /people and the banks /loans are not in any related to the discuss.

My initial comment is actually straightforward and plain

Bullsheet claims! You people need to seriously begin working harder at your ability to critically process information. It is really revolting, to say the least!🙄🙄🙄

Revolting because it's the truth. People despise hearing the truth.
Its good to know it's "revolting" to you... That means the message achieved the right effect

what of umblical cord connected to surrogate mother,fluids and blood exchange,so you think she has no share with the child
Just like the Iya Suliat you buy food from at the junction everyday also has a share in being your mom because she feeds you?

Bring a screenshot of the definition here, no time for beer parlour talks.
Why should they go and bring screenshot of the definition here for you? Are you too lazy to go and google or chatgp and wiki yourself?

Notwithstanding, I have bothered below.

Look at them talking as if we haven't seen the procedure LIVE before. You're not talking to a kid here, abeg. Most surrogacy takes someone else's eggplant s.
The second is wonder at your understanding.

Not that it matters, unless she claimed she used her eggs; the probability they're her eggs is very slim.
Eggs deteriorate badly from 42yrs. Success rstenwithbown eggs above 44yrs is 3% in countries where clinics are forced to publish their success rate per embryo transfer. To then have twins from those eggs especially when the uterus isn't capable of carrying is a big ask for the ovaries to produce such quality eggs.
Nigerians are very discriminatory and are quick to look down on others. This coupled with a society that thrives in shame and secrecy means even those in their 30s using donor eggs and those above 50 doing same keep it not only from the family members but from th children themselves.

Ah! The classic silencing tactic to prevent truth.
You've analysed by comment but demand I shouldn't analyse a public figure. The irony and hypocrisy is humongous!
