A Nigerian man identified
as Ojong Agbor on Facebook, while reacting to actress Nse Ikpe-Etim’s womb
removal story, has advised young women to desist from abortion and runs life.
The man in his post was of the opinion the actress lived a reckless life in the past, thinking
fame and money will right the wrongs.
He even
mentioned that Nse Ikpe-Etim had made a mistake and he only wanted the younger
generation to learn from it.
He wrote:
Abortion and runs life will
only land you here no matter the fame and money you will die a miserable
person.
God knows I’m not laughing
at her but just want the younger generation to learn from her mistakes in life.
Nollywood actress, Nse
Ikpe-Etim has revealed she won’t be able to have a child for the rest of her
life because she has no womb (uterus).
While speaking at an event
tagged “Conversation With Nse” in Lekki, the actress told her audience that
three- years ago she was diagnosed with Adenomyosis, a condition whereby the
inner lining of the uterus breaks through the muscle wall of the uterus.
She said,
“I was told I couldn’t have
kids. And so, I had to have a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) to make me
have a life again and to stop going through what I was going through. And I’m
literarily telling women and men, it really doesn’t matter if you can’t bear
children. What really matters is what you would do for the world, for the
universe.”
Recounting when she was
first told by the doctor that she would have to remove her uterus to live a normal
life, she said,
“Tears dropped and then my
husband squeezed my hand. It was reassuring there was someone there and it was
telling me that this is reality, my reality.”
Speaking further, she
revealed the ordeal made her fall into depression.
“I didn’t think there was
any point anymore because my society taught me that I have to be a mother to be
appreciated and every time I went online, I would have one troll or two say
‘you never born? But I’m thankful that that didn’t break me. I’m thankful for Nollywood.”

Note: Abortion is not always the cause of childlessness, ignorance is a disease.
