Renowned Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Dayo Amusa, has shared a deeply personal revelation about her journey to motherhood, describing it as the one thing she feels she truly got right in life.
In a heartfelt conversation with colleague Debbie Shokoya on Motherhood with Mummy K, Amusa reflected on her experiences, acknowledging that despite the ups and downs of her life, becoming a mother remains her proudest and most fulfilling accomplishment.
“Motherhood is fulfillment. It makes you feel whole as a woman. Even when everything else feels uncertain, you know you’ve done something meaningful. I’ve made so many mistakes in life, but being a mother is the only thing I feel I got right,” she shared.
Raised in a home filled with love and unity, Amusa always dreamed of building a family of her own. However, life had other plans, and she found herself facing unexpected struggles.
“I always wanted to have my husband and kids early, but things didn’t work out as I had envisioned. It was tough, but I thank God for where I am today,” she said.
The actress admitted that in her younger years, she was highly ambitious, prioritizing her career while unknowingly putting her motherhood dreams at risk. This reality hit hard when she struggled with conception, leading to emotional and relationship challenges.
“I was so focused on achieving success that I had to stop and ask myself, ‘If you keep going like this, you might lose your chance at motherhood.’ But things didn’t go as planned, and that became a huge challenge for me. I was in semi-marriages that failed because I couldn’t conceive as expected,” she revealed.
During medical checkups, Amusa was diagnosed with fibroids and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), conditions that made conception difficult. The journey was emotionally and physically draining, compounded by societal pressures and personal disappointments.
Despite these struggles, Amusa remains grateful, embracing motherhood as her most precious blessing. Through resilience and faith, she has found joy in a role she cherishes more than any other.
Her story is an inspiring testament to perseverance, self-discovery, and the unbreakable spirit of a woman determined to write her own narrative.
