  • Ini Dima-Okojie Welcomes First Child After Fibroid Battle, Shares Emotional Journey on Instagram

    Popular Nollywood actress Ini Dima-Okojie has welcomed her first child, marking a deeply emotional milestone in her personal life after years of battling fibroids.

    A journey marked by health struggles

    Ini Dima-Okojie’s pregnancy announcement comes after a well-documented struggle with fibroids, which she first opened up about publicly in 2024.

    At the time, she revealed that the condition had returned despite undergoing a myomectomy surgery in 2020 to remove multiple fibroids.

    “My journey with fibroids isn’t over. I recently learned they’ve returned… The surgery was successful; my doctor removed every single fibroid and I healed well,” she wrote then.

    She added that although the recurrence was “disheartening,” she had accepted the situation and opted to explore a more holistic approach instead of another surgery.

    “I get to be a mother” — emotional announcement

    She continued, reflecting on the journey to motherhood:

    “I get to be a mother🥹 What a miracle. What a privilege. What a calling.”

    Quoting scripture, she added: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you… Jeremiah 1:5,” expressing gratitude for what she described as a deeply intentional blessing.

    Fans and colleagues celebrate

    The announcement has since drawn widespread reactions online, with fans, colleagues, and well-wishers celebrating the actress and praising her openness about her health struggles.
