It is a day of double joy for Nollywood actress Bose Akinola, who is celebrating her birthday alongside the arrival of her new grandchild.
The Yoruba actress shared the news on Instagram, describing the birth as the sweetest gift she could have received on her special day. She expressed gratitude to God for a safe delivery and the blessing of holding her daughter’s baby in her arms.
“God gave me the sweetest birthday gift. Two hearts, one birthday. My heart just got a whole lot bigger,” she wrote. “After months of waiting, praying, and dreaming, our little miracle is finally here. Words can’t describe the love we feel holding this tiny blessing in our arms. Welcome to the world, our sweetest gift.”
The actress also recounted the emotional moments surrounding her daughter’s labor and the baby’s safe arrival, emphasizing how deeply the experience touched her family.
Friends, colleagues, and fans have since flooded her comment section with congratulatory messages, many hailing her as the “Grandma of the Year.”
Bose Akinola, a respected actress and producer, is best known for her roles in Yoruba films such as Idunnu Okan and Loogun Ofe.
Her announcement follows a wave of similar celebrations in Nollywood. Just last month, her colleague Iyabo welcomed her first grandchild, while Omoni Oboli has also shared her joy at becoming a grandmother.
For Akinola, however, this year’s birthday stands out as unforgettable, with her personal and family milestones aligning in the most heartwarming way.
