A Nigerian woman identified as Oluwakemi Gbangbalasa has welcomed her first child after 28 years of waiting. 

She took to social media on Wednesday, October 16, to celebrate the arrival of her baby girl. 

The new mum also shared photos and videos of her and her daughter. 

The entrepreneur revealed that she “waited and prayed” for 28 years before having a child. 

“For this child, we waited. For this child, we prayed. For this child, we hoped,” she said. 

“After 28 years of waiting on you my God, you blessed me! Thank you God, I am so grateful. My bundle of joy is here.” 

At her daughter’s naming ceremony, Gbangbalasa said she had always believed that “nothing is impossible for God.” She appreciated her husband and family members for their support. 

She urged people expecting similar blessings to trust in God to do it for them at the right time. 

“I am so happy, I don’t even know how I feel right now. I put my trust in God because I believed that nothing is impossible,” she said on Instagram. 

“I knew that one day I will be happy, and today I am very happy this happened during my life time. 

“I thank everyone who has supported me up until now; my husband, my younger siblings, and my husband’s children. They all supported me so well and I love them very much.”
