The 60-year-old actress stated this during an interview on Oyinmomo TV.
Sharing her thoughts on marriage, motherhood, and societal pressures, the actress who welcomed her first child at age 40, encouraged single women over 35 to having children outside wedlock if they desire motherhood.
Magaji further emphasized the need for women to prioritize motherhood over societal expectations.
“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-inlaw 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.”

Well, to a certain point she is right
ReplyDeleteI agree with her....
ReplyDeleteGoes to show that that is the reaaon most women get married...to procreate..after choosing kids before marriage...you invest your life for your kids, when they leave the crib...what next??? Loneliness sers in ..this is why you have MIL who are busy bodies in their children's marriage, they are lonely, frustrated and sex-starved!
ReplyDeleteI agree in The sense that if the 35years old lady is able and capable of taking care of the child Incase the man change mind later..ooo..
ReplyDeleteHello iya Boys
If you have the means to take care of the child yourself, why not.
ReplyDeleteShe is right though, but let everyone do whatever works for them. Some people actually don't want to have children or get married, they just want to make a lot of money, travel the world and live peaceful and healthy life .
ReplyDeleteAnd where is the position of God in all this her advice that most people are agreeing with?
ReplyDeleteSo it is safe to say that a man that has graduated from school foe many years and has tried his best, and no form of employment is forthcoming and he really needs to fend for himself and his family is also excused to steal right?
