hopeful throughout the years I was childless and I remained focused on
God. We went to many hospitals but we didn’t give up,” she said

was the practice of his own parents. He said his wife’s belief in the In
vitro fertilization method made him support her.
“I supported her throughout because my wife was dogged and she
believed in herself. When I saw her faith, I had no choice but to go
with her. She kept telling me she would have her child. I wasn’t
thinking of another wife. I came from a monogamous family and I decided
she is all I will have. The family was understanding too and we fought
together to get this baby”.
Mrs Irurhe has made history as the oldest woman in Africa to give birth to a child via Invitro Fertilization.
