Toyo Baby’s parents reconcile after 17 years apart

Former Jenifa’s Diaries actress, Juliana Olayode, popularly known as Toyo Baby, has announced that her parents are getting back together after 17 years apart.

In a post to Instagram on Monday, Juliana narrated that her parents were divorced and always quarrelled whenever they saw each other.

She revealed she had almost given up hope of reconciliation between them when the miracle happened.

“My heart is racing…I still can’t believe it. I have prayed for it to happen for 17 years. At some point, I stopped praying about it because nothing changed, things only got worse.

“It was a VERY long process but yaaaaaaaay they made up they hugged each other and looked into each other’s eyes and started laughing. Then my mum started crying and my siblings and I joined in the tears of joy. I’m still in shock,” she wrote in a lengthy post.

WEDDING BELLS ARE RINGING❤💖❤ I know that my Rebirth Fam @rebirthnetwork would be able to relate more with what I am about to share. Gosh where do I start? My heart is racing…I still can’t believe it. I have prayed for it to happen for 17 years. At some point, I stopped praying about it because nothing changed, things only got worse. My elder sisters called for a meeting, and between us, we wanted to reconcile my mum and dad but we didn’t tell them about it. I was so afraid. I wondered if they would come or if our plans to bring them back together would work. So, three days before the meeting, I started praying about it. I started imagining them together. I was just doing everything by faith. On Sunday morning, I had cold feet. I was so afraid. “God, please do it this time”, was my prayer when I entered my late sister’s house for the meeting. It was a VERY long process but yaaaaaaaay THEY MADE UP 💃💃💃 They hugged each other and looked into each other’s eyes and started laughing. Then my mum started crying and my siblings and I joined in the tears of joy… I’m still in shock. So fam, wedding bells are ringing 😂😂 oh THERE IS NOTHING GOD CAN NOT DO. DON’T STOP PRAYING. DON’T STOP BELIEVING. HE WILL DO IT IN HIS OWN TIME… I join my faith with everyone whose parents are divorced or separated for whatever reason and I declare that the same God who answered my prayer after 17 years will do yours if you so desire (Amen) Ankara Top @irenestitches #GODSTILLANSWERSPRAYERS #GODISALWAYSGOOD #WITHGODNOTHINGISIMPOSSIBLE #WEDDINGBELLS
