According to Daily Post shortly after the dedication service, the cleric stated that thirty years after marriage, especially without an issue was a ‘long journey’. Eferaha noted that some persons became ashamed of coming to his house as a result of the wife’s barrenness. The pastor also noted that serving God goes with so many insults.

Eferaha also stated that “l was never tempted to leave my wife for another woman because I needed a child. After thirty years, this miracle is not common. God has been preparing a package for us. God had been preparing a child for us. I have never witnessed this kind of thing in my life before. It was like a carnival. The people had waited for so long and when they saw it, it was a carnival the day my wife delivered.”
