Nollywood star and filmmaker Mary Remmy Njoku has shared a powerful message with Nigerian religious women, encouraging them to embrace In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) without shame.
In an emotional Instagram post, Njoku highlighted that there should be no stigma attached to IVF. She praised the wisdom given to humanity to tackle challenges and find innovative solutions, urging women to consider including their IVF journeys in their testimonies. By doing so, they can offer hope and inspiration to other families facing similar struggles.
IVF, a process where a woman’s egg is fertilized with sperm in a lab, provides a crucial option for couples who struggle with natural conception. Njoku stressed the importance of sharing such personal experiences to support and encourage those contemplating IVF as a path to parenthood.
She also reassured that sharing IVF experiences is not a compulsory act. For those uncomfortable discussing their journey, she advised them to remain silent rather than risk displeasing God. This advice is especially for new parents who have used IVF but prefer to keep that aspect of their story private when sharing their experiences.
Dear Nigerian religious women, IVF is not wrong. God gave us wisdom to solve our problems. Don’t hesitate to include IVF in your testimonies, so God can use your story to inspire and bless other families,” she wrote.

IVF, a procedure where a woman’s egg is fertilized with a man’s sperm in a lab, offers a valuable option for couples struggling with natural conception.
She also addressed the choice of whether to share personal IVF experiences, advising that if someone feels uncomfortable revealing their story, they should feel no obligation to do so. This advice was particularly aimed at those who have used IVF but prefer to keep their experience private.
In a follow-up post, Njoku, the founder of ROK TV, challenged those who claim that IVF failed them while attributing their child’s birth to another miracle. She argued that IVF and C-sections are miracles in their own right and highlighted the blessings these medical advancements have brought to countless families.
Njoku urged individuals to avoid using religion to discourage others from seeking their own miracles, reminding her audience that divine intervention can take many forms and that embracing modern medicine does not negate its spiritual significance.
The filmmaker wrote, “Saying IVF failed you, but God gave you a miracle is absurd. IVF is a miracle! C-sections are a miracle! God has blessed countless families through them. If it didn’t work for you, it might work for someone else. Stop using religion to discourage others from receiving their blessings. Miracles can come in different forms.”
