Nollywood legend Binta Ayo Mogaji is shaking the table with her latest advice to women over 35. Speaking on Oyinmomo TV, Mogaji boldly suggested that women in this age group should consider having children even if marriage isn't in the cards. And she’s speaking from a place of experience—Mogaji herself became a mother at 40.
According to the actress, men often gravitate towards younger women, and society tends to back that preference. But for women over 35, she says, there are "many buts." Her advice? If a woman has a partner and he’s on board, she should go ahead and have a child, even if the man isn’t ready to shoulder the financial responsibility.
Mogaji frames this unconventional path as a win for women, urging them to embrace motherhood if they can, regardless of the traditional expectations. Her bold stance is stirring up plenty of conversation—what do you think of her perspective?
Mogaji’s words;
“What I’m saying is, once you’re 35 or older and you don’t have a husband, but there’s someone in your life who is with you but not ready for marriage, and he wants a child, have a child with him, even if he won’t accept responsibility for the child,” Mogaji advised.
“When you’re looking for a husband at 35, they’ll say you’re too old and won’t be able to wash clothes for your mother-in-law or be controlled. They’ll advise the man to find a younger lady to listen to him.”
“If you want a child and cannot find a man to impregnate you, then consider adoption… If you find someone you like, ask him to impregnate you as long as you want a child and can take care of the child.”
