For married couples in Africa, children are seen as necessity and most marriages are not complete without children. In fact, women take pride in the number of children they have while most men feel inadequate without children
Nigerian rapper and music entrepreneur, Ill Bliss has disclosed how he was able to cope with being childless for eight years. The chubby rapper stated that himself and his wife where not under any form of pressure, adding that they knew it was going to happen eventually.
Speaking in a chat with Punch, he said:”It was the most trying time of our lives as a couple, but we never had doubts about having a baby. We were only concerned about when we would have the baby. We waited, kept praying and stayed focused. I don’t know where I got the strength from, to be honest. I see couples that are under pressure to have a child after six months of marriage and they are worried. I waited for eight years and some months. My daughter turned nine months old this week. It is awesome and amazing to watch her grow. I am a testimony of God’s goodness. If God could do it for me after eight years, he can do it for anyone looking for a child. The experience brought me closer to God”.
