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
ReplyDeleteIs all the way good point and to a certain point. Gone were the days when people get married before they have kids. You can have your kids all by yourself as long as you can financially afford it. Reason why she said that is because there is a lot of complications with having kids after 40 years of age
DeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm
DeleteI 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
Well said
DeleteIf 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?
I wonder.
DeleteThey can adopt a child, if it suits them or they desire such. I think the message is more about prioritizing motherhood after a certain age. If an individual knows that premarital sex is against their values system then they should not follow any advice that would place them in a position to break their beliefs.
DeleteThere are many in the nation whose religious and spiritual beliefs are very different from those of popular religions, for them this message would be perfectly fine.
13.34, what did you just write? OMG! I thought we were all adults here.
DeleteSo being adults changes what God said? Well at least in my religion, the standard of God never ever changes. The reason why i would never tire to send the reminder of what God is because someone out there, needs just this little reminder to make up their mind, secondly, if they are free to push their agenda, i don’t see why ppl like me would be restricted to also remind ppl of God.
Delete@ 13:34 that your last line is very funny😁
DeleteLicious Babe
Fact
ReplyDeleteIs that what you would do if you weren’t married at 35?
DeleteShe's tryna defend her relationship with Veteran actor Jibola Dabo.
DeleteMadam, we've heard you.
Nollywood and who cares? Later in life, they'll realize that it surely matters.
Christian families don't tolerate such.
Lower your standards a little, your own husband is waiting.
Be wise ladies.
She is right 👍
ReplyDelete40 years olds marry their God appointed everyday
ReplyDeleteIf you are a Christian be careful the advice you take
Don’t go and take in for a nabal
While your boaz is on his way
Well I don’t know
Do you
This advise is for unbelivers, the woman isn't in the best place to advise people. She lived a rough life in her younger days. Dating another woman's husband, smoking and partying...away. This her advise na hell fire e go lead ppople to. Trust in God for all things, seek ye first the kingdom f God and all other things shall be added unto you.
DeleteDeeper life G. O wife married in her 60s
ReplyDeleteImagine if she took Mogaji advice
All these glory her life has now would have passed her
Trust God
And how many kids does Mummy G.O have? Please! This advise is for women who want biological kids of their own before menopause kicks in.
DeleteMost of the people agreeing to her statement went to church today, agreed they have given their life to christ, danced and listened to today's sermon. Nigerian women?? Lmaooooooooo
ReplyDeleteI just fainted with your honest comment
DeleteThe Most Complex B
I concur with what she said so far she have the means to take care of the child.
ReplyDeleteSo what about the married women above 35 who don’t have kids yet? Should they also have kids outside wedlock? 🤔 Make una no dey play God oh!
ReplyDeleteMotigbetional speaker isonu 🙄🙄🙄

ReplyDeleteWisdom is profitable to direct. Check yourself and know God's purpose for your life. This advise is not for everybody
ReplyDeleteGood advice but not godly
ReplyDeleteHello ma, where is the godly standard in your advice up there? This is encouraging fornication..
ReplyDeleteBy all means if we say we're God's children, then certain advice especially on this shoshomedia should be avoided like a plaque
