Nollywood actress Toyosi Adesanya has opened up about her difficult journey to motherhood, revealing that she underwent five surgeries in 2022 while trying to conceive.
Adesanya, who welcomed a baby girl with her husband in March 2026, made the disclosure during an interview with Oyinmomo TV, explaining that the repeated medical procedures eventually prompted her doctor to advise her to stop.
“In 2022, I did five surgeries. I did so many surgeries my doctor told me enough of this,” she said.
Beyond discussing her fertility journey, the actress also spoke about her relationship with fellow Nollywood star Iyabo Ojo, whom she described as a dependable source of support during some of the most difficult periods of her life.
Adesanya recalled how Ojo stood by her while she was trying to conceive and intervened during the crisis that led to the breakdown of her previous marriage.
She disclosed that Ojo had gone as far as travelling to Akure to intervene when problems arose in her former marriage.
According to Adesanya, the intervention included a telephone conversation between Ojo and her ex-husband on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2014. She recalled that Ojo challenged those she believed were contributing to the difficulties Adesanya was experiencing at the time.
The actress did not provide further details about the nature of the surgeries or the specific medical conditions that necessitated them.
Adesanya also expressed frustration with the use of personal tragedies for online engagement, insisting that she would not allow bloggers to exploit her painful experiences.
“I am not one of the people bloggers would use their sad story to feed,” she added.
