Nigerian woman welcomes sextuplets — ’26 years after first child’

A Nigerian woman has welcomed sextuplets after several years of waiting.

In a now-viral video, the woman could be seen with her six babies — three girls and boys — in the hospital room.

In an Instagram post, a lady who identified as the woman’s first child revealed that the birth of the six children came 26 years after she was born.

She also expressed joy that she will be “dropping the only child title” while appreciating God for the bundles of joy.

“Officially dropping the title of the only child. My mum gave birth to six children after years of waiting,” she wrote.

“Pastor Jerry will say a testimony that will sound like a lie. This has been my prayer point back to back for the past eight years.

“God said for all the yeats you asked me for this, I give you one for each year. How do I explain my mum of 40 years gave birth to six kids? How do I shout? I couldn’t shout, I was in awe.”

In the comment section of a blog post, the lady also disclosed that the sextuplets were the first children of her mum’s eight-year marriage.

“Have been an only child for 26 years, my mum gave birth to me during her teen age and got married eight years ago,” she wrote.

“Ever since then we have been searching. From one issue to another but God finally showed off with us.

“He did not give us one or two, He gave us three boys and three girls.”

An Ogun-based couple recently welcomed the arrival of quadruplets.
