Renowned actress Dayo Amusa has shared a deeply emotional and heartfelt account of her journey toward motherhood, revealing the struggles, pain, and faith that shaped her experience. In a recent interview with Debbie Shokoya, the actress opened up about the overwhelming challenges she faced, including multiple medical checkups, surgeries, and moments of despair, as she desperately sought to become a mother.
During the interview, Dayo Amusa recalled a particularly vulnerable moment when she broke down in tears in front of her domestic staff, crying out to God for a child. She explained how she had reached a breaking point, pleading with God to either fulfill His promise by granting her a child or take her life. According to her, the emotional toll of struggling with infertility and undergoing several medical procedures had left her feeling exhausted and hopeless.
The actress recounted how she had spent years battling medical complications related to fertility. Despite undergoing numerous checkups and surgeries, she continued to struggle with conceiving, which led to moments of severe emotional distress. At her lowest point, she found herself singing at the top of her voice, crying uncontrollably, and baring her soul in prayer. She revealed that she was so overwhelmed with pain that she did not care that her maid and domestic workers were around to witness her breakdown.
Speaking further, she explained that she gave God an ultimatum, telling Him that if He did not bless her with a child, then He should take her life instead. The emotional weight of years of waiting and hoping had pushed her to a point where she felt she could not continue without divine intervention. She emphasized that she had done everything medically possible to conceive and was left with nothing but faith and desperation.
In her words: “I remember I was singing at the deepest and the top of my voice. I remember I was crying so deeply like I didn’t mind that my maid and domestic workers were around. I was telling God it’s either you take my life at this moment or you fulfill that promise which you have promised me. If there is anything positive about my life that is remaining, I think this is the time.”
She continued: “I cried and told God I was tired. I knew how many medical checkups I had gone through. I know the amount of surgeries I have had. So, if this thing will still happen, I told God to let it happen. If it’s not going to happen, He should kill me.”
