Her tears were eventually wiped away. Funmi Ajagbe, a 54-year old Nigerian woman, has given birth to triplets with her first pregnancy.
The new mom's friend, Odunayo, took to Facebook to share the good news, with a rhetorical question: "Is there anything too hard for God to do?" as she emphasised with Yoruba praise words how great He is.
Odunayo said her case is a perfect example that no matter how rough the road is, joy always comes at last.
The triplets are all boys.
