Olanade Welcomes Quadruplets at 50 After Late Marriage

Olanade, who married at the age of 48, shared her journey of becoming a mother at 50 by welcoming quadruplets through in vitro fertilisation (IVF). In an interview with BBC Pidgin, she stated that she never feared childlessness, attributing her confidence to God's promise and her research into her husband's family background.

Olanade recounted how she met her husband, who respected her decision to postpone their conversation to the next day. She received a lengthy message from him the following morning, which led her to pray for God's direction.

She emphasized that her confidence in having children was bolstered by two major factors. Olanade acknowledged that while she successfully underwent IVF, the procedure does not guarantee success for everyone.

She expressed her hope to live long enough to become a great-grandmother. Her husband mentioned that he prayed for a partner who would provide him with peace of mind in their marriage.
