50 year-old woman delivers twins after 14 years of childlessness

Mrs  Roseline Akinsola, 50,  on Monday delivered a set of twins  after 14 years of childlessness.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Akinsola, who works at the Ekiti State Christian Pilgrims Board,  was full of praises to God for answering her prayers.

The mother of two girls, who weighed 4.2kg and 2.3kg,  advised other couples in need of  children not to lose  hope.

Akinsola,  in an interview with NAN,  expressed gratitude to God for giving  her the children after several years.

” I thank God for the new name he has given to me;  before, I was being called “Iya Iyanu’’ without a child, but today, my name has changed  to “Mummy Twins.’’

“Many of my colleagues, friends and neighbours mocked and sidelined me, but because I stood  firm on  the words of God, He answered my prayers.

“I thank my husband, who inspite of the troubles and problems from family members, friends, colleagues and neighbours still believe in me and God.

“He stood by me like a father in all ways and also believed  in God all through the crisis. I  also thank  my siblings who stood by me in prayers for years.

“Let me thank God for all those who stood by me in prayers and encouraged me not to desist from serving God.

“These children are indeed signs that God never forgets his own people who diligently seek him and believe in his words, ” she said.
