Nigerian singer and former, Triple MG singer, Emma Nyra is a year older today and she has taken to the gram to celebrate.

The mother of twins who gained prominence after featuring in Iyanya’s smash hit “Your Waist”  turned today 32 and she took to her Instagram page to share pictures to mark the special day. She also wrote about her journey from being a music star to a mum and how everything in her life changed.

She wrote: “Birthday Queen ?? Today I want to celebrate all the women who have made sacrifices in order to secure their goals and their families. My transition to motherhood was such a drastic change from being in the studio and going on tour. There were many times when I wanted to give up and succumb to the pressure of keeping myself together and looking perfect to the world, when inside I was absolutely exhausted.

I still wake up some days wondering if I can handle the pressure of being the perfect mother and balance my career, but I’ve come to realize that my perfection is in my will to be the best woman I can be. I’m allowed to stumble and fall as long as I get back up again. I feel so blessed to be able to be a mother and continue to share my gifts with the world, and I commend all the women who don’t feel appreciated or celebrated enough.

Our mistakes and imperfections make us perfect and unique. Today I toast to you and I celebrate you, my courageous and fearless sisters! #HappyBirthday #MamaEjima #TwinMom
