Nigerian clergyman Bolaji Idowu has described the birth of fashion designer Veekee James’ first child as a testimony of divine intervention and answered prayers.
NAIJABRAIN POST reports that James and her husband, Femi Atere, announced the arrival of their daughter, Eliana, in the United States via Instagram, sparking widespread reactions and congratulatory messages across social media.
Reacting to the development, Pastor Idowu said the birth was a clear indication that God responds to prayers in His own time. He urged Nigerians to remain steadfast in faith, expressing confidence that more personal and national testimonies would emerge in due course.
The cleric also used the opportunity to encourage couples trusting God for children, advising them not to lose hope despite delays or challenges.
In his response, Atere appreciated the pastor’s support and spiritual guidance throughout the journey, noting that the experience reinforced his faith. He further referenced 1 Samuel 1:27, saying: “For this child I prayed, and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of him.”
The couple’s announcement has continued to attract goodwill messages from fans, colleagues, and well-wishers within the entertainment and religious communities.
