A Nigerian couple has gone viral on social media after testifying in church about welcoming their first child nearly 30 years after marriage.
The emotional testimony was delivered at the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, where the woman shared their decades-long wait for a child, including two failed IVF attempts and years of prayer.
The couple, who married in July 1994, faced numerous challenges but remained steadfast in their faith.

The woman said she conceived at 56 and gave birth in January 2025, just before turning 57.
“We got married in 1994, July precisely. Since then, we’ve been believing in God for the fruit of the womb. It had been a challenging time, but God manifested himself after all. We’ve been through some treatments, two failed IVFs.
“The journey had been that of pain, cry, and joy at times. Anytime I saw people testify, I asked God when I testify. You have not called me to shame. You have not called this home to shame, and God did it.
“There was a time I had an attack on my leg, and I told God I would still need this leg to carry a pregnancy. And God helped me,” she said.
Their story has sparked widespread congratulations and emotional reactions on social media
