Nollywood actor Deyemi Okanlawon has recounted how he was told four years ago that he and his wife cannot have children.

In a post celebrating his child, Demide’s 4th birthday, Deyemi Okanlawon revealed that the doctors had told them that they could not have children but he had a strong conviction that they would have their own children and it came to pass.

He shared an adorable picture of himself and his child as a newborn and captioned it;

After 3 yrs of trying and then finally being told we couldn’t conceive your mum came home crying. I held her close and let her cry then when she was done I tilted up her face, looked her straight in the eyes and told her “That’s not what God told me! We will have our own children!”. On this day, 10th July, 4 years ago I woke up to the cry of a child my heart swelled with love and pride… and I understood for the first time the hearts of both my heavenly and earthly fathers towards me! Happy 4th Birthday Demide… I’m super proud to call you son. Luv, DeyemiTheDaddy ♥️♥️♥️ p.s. @damilolaokanlawon see how I fulfilled my promise of giving you beautiful sons ?
