Here's What Happened
June of last year, 2022, the chief executive officer of ABN TV, Mr. Ifeanyi Okali paid a visit to the Our Lady of Mercy Nursery/Primary School in Umuahia, Abia State to celebrate his birthday by giving back to and celebrating with the children of the school.
During his visit there, he awarded scholarships to nine pupils and also gave the school and children there some goodies, as well as positive exposure, through his media outlet. The school was so moved by his gesture that even after he left, they sent him a letter of appreciation saying: "This is to convey our heartfelt appreciation to you, for finding time to celebrate your birthday with us and for seeing our school and pupils good to celebrate with on your big day. Our prayer is that God will continue to bless you now and always. Thank you for putting our school where it has become a talk of many."
What the children and the people of the school did not know was that Mr. Okali and his wife had been battling with childlessness for 11 years. The couple got married in 2012 and for years, they had no children of their own. That day that Mr. Okali came to the school, a prayer from a little child was prayed over him, and Mr. Okali did not know it then, but that single prayer would change his life forever.
The Prayer of The Little Child and The Testimony of Mr. Okali.
Less than one year later, Mr. Okali returned to Our Lady of Mercy Nursery/Primary School in Umuahia, Abia State, this time now a father of one. During his visit there, he shared the prayer a little child prayed over him, and also gave his testimony of what happened after. Mr. Okali said:
MR. OKALI: Last year I felt an urge to celebrate my birthday with children, sit with them and play with them, that led to Our Lady of Mercy Nursery/Primary School being selected. There was a prayer by the pupils last year that motivated me and I think the prayer worked. A child in this school prayed, calling me uncle, daddy, and today as a result of that prayer, I am now a dad. On the 10th of May 2023 my wife delivered a bouncing baby girl after 11 years of waiting
Above is the picture of Mr. Okali with his new bouncing baby girl! Wow! This story. Please celebrate with others as you would want others to celebrate with you, it is a very important lesson to learn in this life. I am so happy for you Mr. Okali and family. Congratulations your new bouncing baby girl.

Gabrielle Reece net worth
According to volleyball.com.ng, Gabrielle Allyse Reece's net worth is estimated at $28 million. Gabrielle Allyse Reece, born on January 6, 1970, in La Jolla, California, is a renowned professional volleyball player, sports commentator, model, writer, and actress. Her multifaceted career has made her a prominent figure in the sports and entertainment industries, earning her widespread recognition and a substantial net worth. Raised in Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, Reece’s early life was marked by both challenges and opportunities that shaped her into the resilient and talented individual she is today. Early life and education Reece's childhood was shaped by the tragic loss of her father, Robert Eduardo Reece, who died in a plane crash when she was just four years old. After the accident, Gabrielle moved to New York to live with family friends until she was seven. She then returned to Saint Thomas to live with her mother and stepfather. During her teenage years, the family relocated to St. Petersburg, Florida, where Gabrielle attended Keswick Christian School. It was here that she discovered her passion for volleyball. Gabrielle’s talent on the volleyball court earned her a scholarship to Florida State University (FSU), where she majored in communications. At FSU, she set records in total blocks and solo blocks, showcasing her exceptional skills and becoming a standout player. Her collegiate success laid the foundation for her professional volleyball career and her later endeavors in modeling and media. Volleyball Career After graduating from FSU, Reece pursued professional volleyball and played on various tours for several years. She was named Offensive Player of the Year for the 1994–1995 season and made history as the first female athlete to design a Nike shoe, becoming Nike's first cross-training spokeswoman. Her shoe designs, including the Air Trainer, Air Patrol, Air GR, and Air GR II, were highly successful, even outselling the Air Jordan at one point. Gabrielle also made significant contributions to beach volleyball, serving as a team captain in the Women's Beach Volleyball League (WBVL) for several years. In 1997, her four-person team won the Beach Volleyball World Championships, cementing her status as a top athlete in the sport. She competed in the 1999–2000 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour and the Olympic 4 on 4 Challenge Series, further establishing her legacy in volleyball. Modeling and Media Career Reece's striking looks and athletic physique led to a successful modeling career alongside her sports achievements. She appeared in numerous magazines, including "ELLE," "Shape," "Outside," and "Women's Sports and Fitness," and graced the cover of "Playboy." She was also featured on the cover of "Women's Sports & Fitness" as one of the "20 Most Influential Women in Sports," highlighting her dual identity as both an athlete and a model. In addition to modeling, Gabrielle ventured into writing and acting. Her book "My Foot Is Too Big for the Glass Slipper" became a New York Times bestseller, offering a candid look at her life and views on femininity and relationships. She has written for prominent publications like the "Los Angeles Times Magazine" and "The Huffington Post." As an actress, she appeared in films such as "Gattaca," "Air Bud: Spikes Back," and "Cloud 9" and in TV series including "Cybill," "North Shore," and "Gary Unmarried." Gabrielle also hosted the 2016 fitness competition series "S.T.R.O.N.G." and earned a New York Emmy Award nomination for her work on "The Game 365." Her diverse media appearances have made her a well-known personality beyond the sports world. Personal life and entrepreneurship On November 30, 1997, Gabrielle married professional surfer Laird Hamilton. The couple has two daughters, Reece and Brody, and Gabrielle is also a stepmother to Hamilton's daughter from a previous marriage. Together, they have built a life that balances their professional careers with family responsibilities. In 2015, Gabrielle and Laird launched Laird Superfood, a company focused on providing high-quality, plant-based products. Their entrepreneurial venture reflects their commitment to health and wellness, a theme that runs throughout their personal and professional lives. Real estate and philanthropy Gabrielle and Laird have made significant real estate investments, including their 5,000+ square foot home in Maui, Hawaii, which they sold in 2011. The property, featured on "MTV Cribs," included a unique fish pond and expansive gardens. Beyond real estate, Reece is involved in philanthropic efforts, including the American Heart Association Teaching Gardens, where she educates children about the importance of exercise and healthy eating. Conclusion Gabrielle Reece’s journey from a challenging childhood in the U.S. Virgin Islands to becoming a celebrated professional volleyball player, model, and media personality is a testament to her resilience and versatility. Her net worth, estimated at $28 million, reflects her success across multiple fields. Today, she continues to inspire as an athlete, entrepreneur, and mother, balancing her various roles with grace and determination.
