A Nigerian couple identified as Segun and Kemi Omotinugbon has revealed how they welcomed their first child after over 30 years of waiting.

In a now-viral video, the couple, members of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, shared their infertility journey during a testimony session, highlighting the challenges they endured over the years.

Kemi revealed that they underwent medical treatments, including two unsuccessful IVF attempts, and leaned on spiritual support and guidance, which ultimately led to her conceiving in May 2024 at the age of 56.

She described the pregnancy journey as challenging but said “God provided divine help throughout”.

The couple expressed deep gratitude to God for the safe delivery of their baby boy in January 2025, when Kemi was nearly 57.

“We got married in July 1994. Since then, we’ve been believing God for the fruit of the womb. It has been a challenging time, but God manifested Himself in the end,” she said.

‘We went through some treatments, including two failed IVFs, and endured many prayers, including corridor prayers with the General Overseer, who was very supportive and guided us prayerfully. By God’s grace, in May 2024, I conceived.

“The journey was challenging because of my age, but I was able to overcome it. At the time of conception, I was 56, and by the time the baby was born in January last year, I was close to 57. Praise the Lord.

“The journey has been filled with pain, tears, and moments of joy. Whenever I saw people testify, I asked God, ‘When will I testify?’ I believed God had not called me to shame, and indeed, He fulfilled His promise.

“There was a time I had an attack on my leg, and I prayed that I would be able to carry the pregnancy safely. God helped me, and in January 2025, we were blessed with our child.”
