It’s all congratulations for Nollywood comedian, Kamo and hus wife Esther as they welcome a new baby recently. Just as the couple rejoice on their addition, Kamo takes time to explain all the ‘goodies’ he has enjoyed from actress, Funke Akindele, who he calls his mother.
When Nollywood comedian, Kamo, in a post announced the arrival of his newborn baby, it was all rejoicing and congratulations were in order.
The actor cum content creator Kamo State and his wife Esther Olamide have welcomed their first child and the joy knew no bounds.
Kamo shared the news on Instagram revealing that their baby was born in April, though the gender was not disclosed.
“Last month (April 2025), God gave us this precious gift. My wife did the hardest job, and now we have the greatest gift,” he wrote in the caption.
The skit maker described the newborn as a “precious gift” and expressed deep gratitude for the arrival.
But he didn’t fail to hail his ‘industry mum’ Funke Akindele.
Taking to social media in another post, Kamo stated how Akindele threw weight behind him and his wife during and after the pregnancy.
Kamo wrote, “AN ANGEL IN HUMAN FORM (Iyami Olufunke Mi Owon)
To the woman who embodies love, strength, and unwavering support,my dearest godmother,Lafunky Omo Akindele. Where do I even begin to express the depth of my gratitude for all you do? You’ve always stood by me, a beacon of light in every storm, and a source of endless encouragement.
I’ll never forget the nights you spent by my side at the hospital, your presence a soothing balm, your vigilance a testament to your love. Even when I told you about the pregnancy late, you were ready to fly my wife to the US for the baby’s birth, showing the lengths you’d go to for us. We were suppose to go to Dubai together when i told you my wife’s expected delivery date is close,you insisted i stay with her,while you’re in Dubai with your kids, you called my wife every single day, just to check up on her and make sure she was doing well any day i didn’t pick call like this you’ll fight me ni ooo that you must talk to ESTHER to check her,you told your driver and security details to follow us to the hospital even if we call them in the midnight, ensuring we were safe and sound. You secured one of the best doctor in Lagos for my wife, and took care of every single bill, showing your selfless generosity. You prayed for my wife in our prayer group every single time, and you forced me to pray countless times, always reminding me of the power of faith. And now, as we shall be christening our baby this Tuesday,you’ve once again stepped forward,sponsoring the naming from the food to the beautiful outfits for my wife and me, you’re taking care of everything, ensuring that this celebration is as special as it can be.
IYAMI IYAMI, your generosity knows no bounds, and your love is a gift I cherish every single day. I wanted to write more, but I’m honestly short of words to express how much you mean to me. I pray that God blesses you abundantly, showering you with health, happiness, and all the good things life has to offer. Thank you for being the amazing woman you are, and for showing me the true meaning of family. I owe you so much, and I’ll spend a lifetime trying to repay the kindness you’ve shown me. I love you dearly!
The couple held their traditional wedding last year following their engagement in September.
