Actress Binta Ayo Mogaji Opens Up About Abusive Marriage, Late Motherhood
Nigerian Actress Binta Ayo Mogaji Opens Up About 13-Year Abusive Marriage, Health Scare, and Miraculous Birth of Her Child at 40.
Binta Ayo Mogaji, a seasoned Nigerian actress, has talked out about the violence she experienced in her marriage.
Mogaji previously shared a son with legendary Nigerian actor Jibola Dabo, with whom he was intimately linked.
Later, in 2006, she wed former football player and physiotherapist Victor Ayodele Oduleye.
The actress claimed that although she was in love with Oduleye, their romance ended badly very soon.
She described how, in order to protect herself from assault, she would frequently wait outside their house for help to arrive.
The actress went on to say that before divorcing her husband four years ago, she went through this for thirteen years.
“We fell in love with each other but any little thing igbaju igbamu ni Keri Keri ma nba ro de ni,” she said in Yoruba language.
“Even in England the abusive language, the physical abuse, the mental torture when it gets too much I will advise anybody to get out of that marriage.
“That when it is only me and him in the home, I will go outside the compound and sit down till somebody will come so that I will not be abused. We were in it for like thirteen years and we have been separated for four years now.”
She also shared her harrowing experience during her first pregnancy, revealing that she had to undergo surgery to remove one of her fallopian tubes while carrying her child with Jibola.
Prior to the operation, the 60-year-old movie star said the surgeon informed her of her odds of survival.
Eventually, Mogaji added, six weeks after turning forty, she gave birth to her child naturally.
“I got pregnant. Unfortunately enough, the pregnancy was ectopic. It stayed right inside the fallopian tube. They took me to like seven hospitals. They gave me the bed and the man said I am not sure you can survive till tomorrow. The operation took them like seven to nine hours,” she said.
“The following day, Ngozi had cried her eyes out.... Sola Sobowale, Sam Loco, Jide Kosoko, everybody was at the hospital. She was they had to remove one fallopian tube but I am living with one and I had my child through natural birth.
“I stopped looking for husband, I wanted to make baby. If I do not have a baby until I am 40 then I will adopt a child... Jibola came around the time shortly before I was 40. I had my baby six weeks after I became 40 years old.”
