Ms Makinwa, who disclosed this in an Instagram post with a display of a baby bump, said she opted for surrogacy because motherhood has been her desire.

Ms Makinwa wrote: “The biggest project of my life, the highest calling ever! 2025… What a difference a year can make. Dear God, you did this one, you have completely changed my life. You opened this door that nobody can shut. I hope I never get over what you’ve done for me; you stirred the waters and put me in yourself. This testimony, the timing. You make all things beautiful in your time and this is just perfect.”

Reflecting on her years of waiting, Ms Makinwa said, “I was convinced that God had forgotten me.  You are the God that will put his own reputation at risk just to save me, all that time I was convinced you had forgotten me, I didn’t understand why it took so long but now I see it. You worked on my heart posture to get me ready for the biggest blessing and the highest calling. You truly are the God of time and chance.’’
