Mary Njoku continues to champion the cause of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), using her platform to raise awareness and support for the fertility treatment.
Mary Njoku recently addressed Nigerian women of faith, encouraging them to embrace IVF as a solution to fertility challenges, gifted by God’s wisdom.
She urged them to openly share their IVF experiences in their testimonies, inspiring and blessing others.
However, she also emphasized that sharing one’s testimony is optional, cautioning those who can’t share their full story to refrain from speaking, lest they misrepresent God’s role.
Mary Njoku criticized individuals who claim that IVF failed them, but God intervened with a miracle, calling such statements illogical.
She argued that IVF itself is a miracle, just like C-sections, and many families have been blessed through it. She emphasized that even if IVF didn’t work for some, it has worked for others, and they should stop using religion to discourage people from pursuing their blessings.
” Saying IVF failed you, but God gave you a miracle is absurd.
IVF is a miracle!
C-sections are a miracle!
Don’t use religion to deny others their blessings; just because IVF or other medical interventions didn’t work for you, doesn’t mean they won’t work for someone else – many families have been blessed through them, and God’s blessings come in many forms.
Miracles can come in different forms.

Mary Njoku has been vocal about women’s rights and family dynamics. Earlier this year, she argued that a mother shouldn’t be forced to change her surname if her children share their father’s name, unless she’s also allowed to change their names.
She emphasized that a woman shouldn’t have to sacrifice her identity and reputation built over years due to someone else’s reluctance to divorce.
Last year, she advised men to appreciate and value their wives’ roles as mothers, noting that many men desire their children to be strong and confident, yet mistreat their wives, who are the primary caregivers.
She used the analogy that a gentle mother (like a fowl) cannot raise children to be strong and fierce (like tigers) if she herself is not valued and empowered.
