It is an exciting time for Nollywood Yoruba couple Okiki and Bimbo Afolayan as their daughter, Aliyah, returns home.
Taking to her Instagram page, Bimbo revealed that her first fruit is back home for summer break, hence, her short break from social media.
“Look who is home for summer break
Our dear pilot Aliyah
For everyone asking where I was yesterday.
I have been getting all the hugs I missed over 4months.
Immediately Aliyah got home, I forgot Mayami was showing on @bimboafolayantv”.
Her husband, Okiki, celebrating his stepdaughter’s return, described Aliyah as their sweet anger and heartbeat. He expressed his excitement that their daughter returned home after months of studying and chasing her dreams.
He expressed how amazing it is that her presence lights everything up and brings warmth through her smiles. The filmmaker stated that he and his wife plan to enjoy every moment of being with her.
“Guess who’s home?
Our sweet angel, our heartbeat Aliyah is back!
After months of studying and chasing her dreams abroad, she’s home, and let me tell you, the house is already full of laughter, excitement, and plenty of activity.
It’s amazing how just her presence lights everything up. We missed her energy, her smile, and the warmth she brings to every corner of our lives. Now she’s back, and we plan to enjoy every moment together.
Welcome home, baby girl. You’re deeply loved, always celebrated, and forever our pride.
We have our own MAYAMI in the house”.
When Aliyah turned 10 in 2023, Bimbo reflected on her labour experience. She noted how 10 years back, she was in the labour room screaming and shouting, and now, her daughter was hitting two digits.
In another post, Bimbo penned an emotional note to her, describing her daughter as a true blessing. She noted how a decade ago, her daughter came into the world and brought so much joy and love with her.
