BBNaija star Tolanibaj says she’s freezing eggs to keep future options open
Former BBNaija housemate and disc jockey Tolanibaj, aged 32, said in a recent vlog that she has started the process of freezing her eggs by consulting a gynecologist at a wellness centre, though she has not begun the procedure yet. She explained that she would rather have options than regrets about her future fertility and plans to freeze her eggs either next year or in two years’ time. Tolanibaj said she wanted more information about the process before moving forward, which prompted her to book the appointment. Her announcement highlights a growing trend among Nigerian women, especially those in demanding careers like entertainment, who are considering fertility preservation to keep their reproductive options open amid societal pressures to marry and have children early. The discussion also touches on the increasing availability of fertility services in private wellness centres across cities like Lagos and Abuja, making the procedure more accessible. As she weighs the timing, she emphasized that having the choice now reduces future anxiety about missing the chance to have biological children. If you are thinking about fertility preservation, what factors would influence your decision—cost, success rates, career plans, or family expectations?
