A Nigerian couple, Dr. Mike and Dr. Modupe Obiora, have heard the cries of not one, but two babies after 27 years of hoping to have a child.
The couple who have been married since December 1993, were filled with joy after they finally welcomed a set of twins in their almost 3 decades of marriage.
The dedication of the twins, a boy and a girl, was held at the World Alive Church in Calabar, Cross River State on Sunday, December 13.
Mrs Modupe expressed her gratitude to God for wiping away her tears and appreciated her husband as well as family members for their continuous support and prayers during the 27 years of waiting.
“We held on to the word of God, we held on to Faith, we held on to the Blood of the Convenant and he did not fail us. I thank God for everyone that God has used in prayers. Some people know how to introduce you to herbalists, juju people but the people that surrounded me, all we know is prayers.
“Everyone that prayed we are seeing the result of that prayer. God did not do one but double. God wiped wiped away my tears, my secret tears. He put laughter in my mouth. All my questions…why why why, why me, he answered them.
There is no day they will say let’s go and see one baba. It is good to marry into a good home if not you will put your hands in certain things you are not supposed to. I thank God for them. They are always praying for us. They strengthened my faith.”
