Woman welcomes twins in her 50s after long wait

 

Adesuwa Ujiadughele, a Nigerian woman in her 50s, has given birth to twin baby girls after years of waiting to become a mother

Sharing the news on Facebook on Monday, August 18, 2025, Ujiadughele called the arrival of her daughters “a gift of grace” and expressed heartfelt gratitude to God.

“The waiting is over and we thank God for the gift of bountiful twin girls. I do not take it for granted at all. Having to carry my own babies in my fifties is not a road easy to pass, but then I thank God I passed it gracefully,” she wrote.

Recognizing the challenges of raising two newborns at once, she added, “Taking care of one kid is a handful, let alone twins. Things come in doubles these days, and my prayers to all waiting couples is that God has got your back.”

Ujiadughele also encouraged couples facing fertility issues to combine faith with timely medical intervention. “Make sure you seek medical aids on time because most times we spiritualize things that are medically necessary. And please don’t get me wrong! Without Jehovah saying amen to our ventures, obviously it can’t work. Anyways, all the glory belongs to God Almighty,” she advised.
