Nollywood star Dayo Amusa has opened up about her emotional journey to motherhood, revealing the depths of her desperation and unwavering faith.
At her lowest moment, the actress found herself breaking down in uncontrollable tears before her domestic staff, crying out to God for the one blessing her heart longed for—a child.
She recalled how she reached a breaking point, giving the Almighty an ultimatum: grant her the joy of motherhood or take her life. Her struggle had been relentless, countless medical checkups, multiple surgeries, and shattered hopes at every turn.
In a heartfelt conversation with Debbie Shokoya, Amusa revisited that defining moment, saying, “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 poured out her frustration, exhausted from the endless medical procedures. “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.”

But fate had other plans. In November of the previous year, Amusa’s prayers were finally answered when she welcomed a handsome baby boy, Oluwafirewamiri, into the world.
Her journey had been filled with heartbreak, including the pain of losing her ex-husband, who walked away due to her struggles with infertility and fathered a child with another woman.
Yet, despite the trials, her story stands as a powerful testament to resilience, faith, and the miracles that unfold in the face of unwavering hope.
