Woli Arole, a Nigerian comedian, has criticized the trend of ‘woke’ women choosing surrogacy despite not having any fertility issues.
TheNewsGuru reports that the topic of surrogacy gained attention online after popular media personality Ife announced in an Instagram video that she is expecting her babies through surrogacy.
Ife clarified that she does not have any medical condition, but would not want to go through the stress of pregnancy.
In the midst of online controversy, Wori Alore took to his Instagram page on Tuesday to express that it is a blessing for a woman to carry her baby in her womb, emphasizing that God has ordained this.
He acknowledged, however, that women with certain medical conditions may explore alternatives such as surrogacy, IVF, and other methods of having a baby.
The comedian urged people not to allow the influence of ‘wokeness’ to distract them from the value of motherhood, even in discussions about bodily autonomy.
He wrote, “Listen carefully. It is a blessing for a Woman to carry her baby in her womb. That’s how God wants it. Don’t let wokeness derail you. Unless for medical reasons, she can adopt options like Surrogacy, IVF and all.
“You can’t say my body, my decision. I don’t feel like carrying a child. I want surrogacy. No!! Your body is God’s Temple!!.
“Don’t let wokeness derail you. Your body is God’s temple. Surrogacy is not something you just choose!! There’s a reason God gave you a Womb”
