A Nigerian couple, Chikezie Akah and his wife have been blessed with a set of twins after 24 years of marriage.

The man's sister Nonye Akah Ijomah announced the good news in a Facebook post late last month and also shared videos from a celebration held in the couple's home.

In one of the videos, the new mother praised her husband for standing by her all through the over two decades of waiting.

"Twins after 24 years of marriage . My joy knows no bound. Biko join me to celebrate this awesome God, Him alone is the only wise God. His ways are never our ways," she wrote.

"My brother has finally been clothed with honour as God blessed his marriage of 24 years with twins, a boy and a girl.

"Am thanking God for giving Mr and Mrs Chikezie Akah this joy and grace that can only come from God.

"Also for making my father of 94yrs to have complete joy for blessing all his ten children with their own children bringing his grand children to 29. Thanking God that ejima has finally come to our family and making me a joyful aunty of twins

"Friends and family joined us as we went to celebrate them in the tradition called omugo. What is that that u want God to do for u, hold on, do not give up cos God is cooking something very pleasant for u, if Jesus tarries it shall surely come to pass in Jesus Mighty Name.

"Pls thank this great God for us for He has done what no man can do for us. In another news, my brother hid the zobo I brought cos he doesn't want stories that touch.Tap ur own blessings"
