Tolanibaj says she wants more options
Explaining her decision, Tolanibaj said her motivation is simple: she wants to have choices in the future.
According to her, preserving her eggs is not driven by fear but by careful planning.
She said:
“I want to freeze my eggs because I would rather have options than regrets in the future.”
Her statement has sparked conversations online about fertility preservation and the increasing number of women considering the procedure as part of their long-term life plans.
She has already consulted her doctor
Although Tolanibaj has not yet undergone the procedure, she revealed that she has already started learning about it.
She explained that she booked an appointment with her gynecologist at a wellness centre to better understand the medical process involved.
According to the reality star, gathering accurate information from healthcare professionals is an important part of making the right decision.
She said consulting her doctor helped answer many of the questions she had about fertility preservation.
The procedure may happen in the future
Tolanibaj clarified that she is not freezing her eggs immediately.
Instead, she intends to do so within the next one or two years.
She explained:
“I am not freezing my eggs now but I will maybe next year or in two years.”
Her timeline suggests that she is carefully planning the process rather than rushing into it.
Many medical experts recommend that individuals considering egg freezing first receive proper medical counselling to understand factors such as age, fertility, health status, costs and success rates.
Why more women are considering egg freezing
Egg freezing, medically known as oocyte cryopreservation, allows mature eggs to be collected, frozen and stored for possible future use.
The procedure has become increasingly popular among women who wish to delay pregnancy due to career goals, education, personal circumstances or medical reasons.
While frozen eggs may increase future reproductive options, the procedure does not guarantee a successful pregnancy.
The likelihood of success depends on several factors, including the person’s age at the time the eggs are frozen, overall reproductive health and the quality of the eggs collected.
Doctors generally encourage anyone considering fertility preservation to discuss the potential benefits, limitations and risks with a qualified fertility specialist.
Fans praise her openness
Tolanibaj’s candid discussion has been welcomed by many followers who praised her for speaking openly about reproductive health.
Several social media users described the conversation as educational, noting that fertility preservation is still not widely discussed in many African communities.
Others commended her for encouraging women to make informed health decisions rather than waiting until later in life.
At the same time, some users shared differing opinions about family planning and motherhood, highlighting how personal such decisions can be.
Tolanibaj continues to build her career
Since gaining fame on Big Brother Naija, Tolanibaj has established herself as one of Nigeria’s prominent female DJs, media personalities and influencers.
She has continued to grow her brand through entertainment, fashion, music and digital content creation.
Despite frequently discussing relationships and dating experiences publicly, the reality star has consistently emphasised the importance of personal growth and long-term planning.
Her latest revelation reflects that same mindset, focusing on preparation rather than pressure.
Opening conversations about fertility
Tolanibaj’s decision has also contributed to broader discussions about fertility awareness among young adults.
Health professionals often encourage individuals to seek reliable medical advice before making decisions about reproductive health, including fertility preservation.
By sharing her experience, Tolanibaj has drawn attention to a topic that many people may not fully understand, encouraging more open conversations about reproductive choices and future family planning.
While she has not yet committed to undergoing the procedure, the reality star says she wants to make decisions today that could provide greater flexibility tomorrow, ensuring she has options rather than regrets as she plans for the future.
