Nollywood actress Bimbo Afolayan took to Instagram with a mother’s overflowing heart to celebrate her daughter Aliyah, who has just turned 12 years old. In a beautifully composed post featuring stunning birthday photos, Bimbo wrote:
“Twelve years ago, you came into my life and made it infinitely better. Happy birthday, my love! My sunshine, my pilot is 12. My very intelligent, caring, adorable Aliyah. I have been staring at these pictures for days… my little baby this beauty is MY GOD’S gift, and I keep thanking God for you!"
Her message was filled with warm prayers and profound gratitude:
“May God bless you with good health, happiness, and a life filled with purpose. May He surround you with His love and protection… Heavenly Father, grant her the grace to always make wise decisions and have the courage to stand up for what is right.”
Alongside the emotional note, Bimbo praised those who sent birthday blessings and gifts, appreciating family and community support for Aliyah’s special day.
The photos accompanying the post showed Aliyah beaming with joy captured in casual and sophisticated portraits that radiated sparkle and innocence. Fans and fellow celebs quickly showered the family with birthday wishes and emojis, calling Aliyah “intelligent,” “caring,” and a “beautiful blessing.”
This celebration adds to a string of heartfelt birthday tributes from Bimbo. In 2024, she lovingly thanked God for her “pilot” daughter who changed her story for good on her 11th birthday . That same warmth returned this year, now deepened by the milestones of young teenage years.
