Nollywood actress and filmmaker Mary Remmy Njoku has issued a powerful message to Nigerian religious women, encouraging them to embrace In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).

In a heartfelt Instagram post, she emphasized that there is no shame or stigma associated with IVF. She said God has given humanity the wisdom to overcome challenges and find innovative solutions.

Njoku urged religious women to include IVF in their testimonies. This would allow their inspiring stories to uplift and bless other families who may be facing similar struggles. She highlighted the importance of sharing personal experiences to provide hope and encouragement to those who may be considering IVF as a path to parenthood.

IVF is a medical procedure that involves fertilizing a woman’s egg with a man’s sperm in a laboratory setting. This technique offers a valuable option for couples who are unable to conceive naturally.

Mary Njoku also emphasized that sharing a testimony on IVF is not a mandatory requirement.

She advised those who may feel uncomfortable or unable to disclose their full story to refrain from speaking altogether, rather than risking displeasing God. This guidance was particularly aimed at new parents who had used IVF but chose to keep that information private when sharing their experiences.

In a subsequent post, Mary Remmy Njoku, the founder of ROK TV, condemned those who falsely claim that IVF failed them but attribute their child to a different miracle. She asserted that such claims were misguided and that IVF and C-sections were, in themselves, remarkable miracles.

What’s more, she emphasized that countless families had been blessed through these medical procedures. Further, she urged individuals to refrain from using religion to dissuade others from seeking their own miracles. Njoku reminded her audience that miracles come in many forms. Indeed, embracing modern medical advancements does not diminish the divine power at work.
