Veteran Nollywood actress Shaffy Bello has opened up about a deeply personal decision she made decades ago regarding childbirth.

The actress made the revelation during a discussion about motherhood on her YouTube platform, Shaffy Bello TV.

While reflecting on her journey as a mother, the actress explained that the decision was one she had carefully considered and remained firm about.
According to Bello, the procedure was carried out about 26 years ago after she concluded that two children were enough for her.
The thespian, who recently shared why she avoids Nigerian roads, said she had always been certain about the kind of family she wanted to build.
However, the decision was not entirely shared by her then-husband, who hoped they would have more children.
Despite his request, the actress maintained her stance.
“My ex-husband had to beg me to have another one. I didn’t want a lot of children. I wanted to stop,” she said during the conversation.
The actress also shared details about the medical procedure that permanently prevented her from becoming pregnant again.
According to her explanation, doctors operated on her navel and tied her fallopian tubes.
This medical process, often referred to as tubal ligation, prevents the eggs released by the ovaries from reaching the uterus.
Describing how the procedure happened, Bello said:
“So they went through my navel, went in there, did what they needed to do, and they tied it up. That was it. They closed my eggs.”
The actress explained that the surgery effectively ended the possibility of future pregnancies.

Despite the seriousness of the topic, Bello also shared a humorous perspective about the outcome of the procedure.
She joked that if she were ever to become pregnant after the operation, she would consider it nothing short of divine intervention.
“I’ve always said to myself that after tying my tubes, if I get pregnant, I will feel like Mary, it’s a holy child,” she said jokingly.
