Njoku urged women to include IVF in their testimonies, suggesting that God has endowed humanity with the knowledge to develop such treatments.
She also described Cesarean sections (C-sections) as miracles, noting that many families have been blessed by these medical interventions.
In her posts, Njoku criticized those who view IVF or C-sections as failures but still perceive their outcomes as miraculous.
She stated, “Dear Nigerian religious women, there is nothing wrong with IVF. God gave us the wisdom to find solutions to our challenges. Feel free to include IVF in your testimonies so that God can use your story to inspire others.”
She added, “Claiming IVF failed you but still calling it a miracle is absurd. IVF and C-sections are miracles. If IVF didn’t work for you, it might for someone else. Stop using religion to discourage others from seeking their blessings. Miracles can come in various forms.”
