“Happy 4th Birthday, my precious Ayomide. My beautiful baby girl… after 13 years of waiting, God answered me with you. From the very first moment you came into this world, you did not just become my child… you became my joy, my healing, my new beginning… Daddy will always be here. No matter what life brings, you will never walk alone.”
AY further expressed how Ayomide and her older sister, Michelle, have transformed his life, describing them as his “joy,” “prayer answered,” and “heart outside my body.”

“This particular photoshoot turned out to be my favourite because it was all smiles and fun. Ayomide just couldn’t stop laughing 😂😂… You have taught me how to smile from within. Your laughter always lights up and brightens the atmosphere, bringing warmth and making everyone feel happier. Happy birthday my super-duper ever smiling fun daughter ❤️❤️❤️ God continue to keep and protect you 🙏🙏.”
