In an Instagram video shared by @kingtundeednut, the aged woman could be seen with a protruding stomach as she recounted her situation.
According to her, she took in 6 months after she lost her husband. Upon medical examination, it was confirmed that she was pregnant with a male child.
Problem set in when she checked in at the hospital 6 months later only to be told that what was in her womb has taken another form and is no longer a boy.
Medical doctors told the woman - who mysteriously lost all her kids - that the only way to get the thing in her stomach out was by an operation that has a 50/50 survival rate.
The woman has since resigned to fate hoping to one day be consumed by whatever is in her tummy.
On how she survives, the distraught woman said kind-hearted neighbours provide her meals. Her grandchildren also look after her.
Nigerians have expressed mixed reactions to the story.

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh previously reported that a woman who didn't know she was pregnant had given birth on a flight.
On Wednesday, April 28, the Mounga woman was enjoying a flight to Hawaii with her family when she began having contractions.
Mounga's story went viral after one passenger, identified as Julia Hansen, announced the news on TikTok, saying, 'a baby was just born on this plane.'
In the clip, people could be seen celebrating and congratulating the new mother for her incredible mid-air feat. Hansen revealed that he had sat next to the family during the flight, claiming that even Mounga's husband was not aware of the pregnancy.
