Mary Remmy Njoku, popular Nollywood actress and filmmaker, has shared with Nigerian religious women a crucial message on the importance of in vitro fertilisation (IVF).
For those who don’t know, in vitro fertilisation (IVF) is the procedure of fusing a man’s sperm and a woman’s egg in a sterile laboratory environment.
She stressed that there is no intrinsic problem with IVF in a recent Instagram post, saying that God has given us the intelligence to overcome our difficulties. She urged religious women to be transparent about their IVF journeys in their stories, arguing that by God’s blessing, this transparency might uplift and benefit other families.
Mary also emphasised that it is not required of one to share their story, telling people who might not be able to relate their entire journey to hold off on sharing for fear of offending God.
Sharing the post, she wrote;
“Dear Nigerian religious women!
There is nothing wrong with IVF. God created us with the wisdom to find solutions to our challenges. Feel free to include IVF in your testimonies, so that God can use your story to inspire and bless other families as well.
Testimony is not mandatory!
If you no fit tell us TRUE story, rest Abeg.
Make God no vex for you”.
