Veteran Nollywood actress, Bose Akinola, is basking in a double celebration as she marks her birthday and the birth of her grandchild on the same day.
The Yoruba film star described the arrival of the newborn as the most precious gift she could have received. Akinola shared her excitement and gratitude, reflecting on the months of anticipation, prayers, and hope leading up to the baby’s birth.
She revealed that her heart felt fuller with the arrival of the newest family member.
In an emotional message, Akinola expressed, “God gave me the sweetest birthday gift. Two hearts, one birthday. My heart just got a whole lot bigger. Blessed to welcome my beautiful grandbaby into the world. After months of waiting, praying, and dreaming, our little miracle is finally here. Words can’t describe the love we feel holding this tiny blessing in our arms. Welcome to the world, our sweetest gift.”
The comment section of her social media post quickly filled with congratulatory messages from fans and colleagues, many of whom affectionately referred to her as the “Grandma of the Year.”
Bose Akinola is a celebrated figure in the Nigerian film industry, particularly known for her work in Yoruba cinema, with acclaimed roles in films such as Idunnu Okan and Loogun Ofe.
Her joyful news follows a similar announcement last month from fellow actress Iyabo, who also welcomed her first grandchild, Rakeem Ayomide Mkambala. Other Nollywood stars, including Omoni Oboli, have recently shared their experiences as new grandparents, expressing heartfelt emotions over their growing families.
