I Prayed For A Daughter Before I Gave Birth To Jamil – Tiwa Savage

Popular singer, Tiwa Savage has come out to say that she wants to have a daughter of her own.

She recently revealed that if Jamil ends up being her only child, he’ll become spoilt eventually.

According to her, she is even open to having another child via a surrogate because she does not any more stretch marks or CS.

She added that when she was pregnant with Jamil, she actually prayed that it would be a daughter, but she loves her son nonetheless.

Her words, “If it’s God’s will, we’ll get a surrogate ‘cause I don’t want any more stretch marks or CS. It’s something I’m open to. I also want to adopt.”

“I actually want a daughter. When I was pregnant with Jamil, I prayed it would be a daughter. I did my first scan in Nigeria and was told he’s a boy… But now, I can’t change him for the world. I love him.”
