Friends and family members of a man, Ibikunle Ajala, launched into animated joy in Ibadan, after his wife, Sarah, was delivered of a set of quadruplets. The couple had waited for 20 years before having children.
Sarah gave birth in a private hospital in Ibadan last Friday. An elated Mr Ajala said his joy knew no bounds seeing that he suddenly became a father of four. He said God was so good to them for delivering four children at a time to make up for the past 20 years of waiting. He said: “It is good to wait for God’s time.
I must confess it has not been a rosy journey but we thank God for the grace to wait. Waiting is not the biggest issue, it is what one does at the time of waiting.” Sarah grinned from ear to ear as she welcomed well wishers to her hospital room. The couple got married in December, 1997 and has since stayed closely knitted together since then. Ajala is a senior officer with the Nigerian Immigration Service, while his wife is an employee of Bowen University, Iwo.
