Nollywood actress Dayo Amusa has shared the emotional and challenging journey she faced before becoming a mother, revealing a moment of desperation and vulnerability.

Amusa, who welcomed her baby on November 18, 2024, opened up about her struggles in a recent interview with colleague Debbie Shokoya. 

She recalled a heartbreaking moment when she broke down in tears, crying out to God for a child. "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," she said.

The actress disclosed that she reached a breaking point, giving God an ultimatum.

Amusa expressed her exhaustion after undergoing multiple medical checkups and surgeries, feeling hopeless about her chances of becoming a mother.

"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," she said.
