Husband breaks silence on actress Toyosi Adesanya’s life-threatening struggle

Nollywood actress Toyosi Adesanya and her husband, Bola Oyinadejobi, have shared an emotional testimony following the birth of their first child, a baby girl, after a challenging journey to parenthood.

Speaking during their child’s naming ceremony, Oyinadejobi expressed gratitude to God, revealing that his wife had faced a near-death experience prior to the child’s arrival. According to him, Adesanya underwent four surgeries in 2023 and almost lost her life during the final procedure.

“God is so kind; He shut the mouths of hypocrisy when they thought it was over,” he said, noting that the journey to welcoming their child was far from easy.

The couple’s story has drawn widespread attention, with earlier reports confirming that the actress welcomed her baby through surrogacy. In an emotional video shared online, Adesanya appreciated her husband for his unwavering support throughout the process, emphasizing their resilience and faith.

The actress also recounted the financial struggles she faced on the day her child was born, revealing that she had no money at the time. She expressed deep gratitude to veteran actress Fausat Balogun for her support, prayers, and presence during difficult moments.

Following the announcement, several Nollywood stars paid visits to celebrate with the new mother. Among them were Antar Laniyan, Bimbo Oshin, and Odunlade Adekola, who brought joy and encouragement to the family.

Veteran actress Peju Ogunmola also visited with gifts, while actor Muyiwa Ademola reportedly gifted the newborn N200,000, marking the first deposit into the child’s account.

A resurfaced throwback video further highlighted Adesanya’s long and painful journey to motherhood, which began in 2008. The actress revealed she underwent several medical procedures, including laparoscopy and multiple failed IVF attempts, even selling her jewelry to fund treatments.
