Expecting A Child For Eight Years, Most Trying Period Of My Life –Ill Bliss

For the first time since the birth of his daughter, Nigerian rap artiste, Ill Bliss, opened up to Saturday Beats how he coped for eight years waiting to have a child.

Describing himself as a ‘testimony ‘, Ill Bliss said that the eight years of waiting for the fruit of the womb was one of the toughest periods for him and his wife.

 “It was the most trying time of our lives as a couple, but we never had doubts about having a baby. We were only concerned about when we would have the baby. We waited, kept praying and stayed focused. I don’t know where I got the strength from, to be honest. I see couples that are under pressure to have a child after six months of marriage and they are worried. I waited for eight years and some months. My daughter turned nine months old this week. It is awesome and amazing to watch her grow. I am a testimony of God’s goodness. If God could do it for me after eight years, he can do it for anyone looking for a child. The experience brought me closer to God,” he said.

The rapper told Saturday Beats that he was lucky that he didn’t face any pressure from his parents and in-laws but that it occasionally occurred to him that he had no child.
