I just thank God for today”. She said.

” I am the second wife of my husband the first year I came into his house I got pregnant according to test from the hospital after some months I went for check up and they said the pregnancy was no more there. I kept praying at a point I gave up. But something kept telling me that I am still pregnant so I kept going to the hospital sometimes they don’t attend to me thinking something is wrong with me. That is what I did for ten years”. She narrated.
However, the father of the miracle baby, malam isa Sadanu Umar an Islamic teacher said it is a thing of joy to welcome a child in his home after many years of trial. ” I was married to my first wife for 23years and we had no child.

After sometimes I started hearing stories I was patient and kept on praying until this day came to pass”.
“I want to thank every one for their support and kind gueature towards making this day blessed for me”. He further said.
