Popular Nigerian comedian and actor, Ayo Makun, is celebrating his daughter, Michelle, as she clocks 18, today, February 1st.

The award-winning actor, via his Instagram page, shared a video of the celebrant, revealing that his heart is full, as "my baby girl is no longer a baby."

Sharing his delight at his daughter turning 18, he reminisced on her journey, describing it as "one of the greatest privileges of my life." He noted how he had watched her right from a baby, and she stands out as his quiet blessing.

He further declared that her new age ushers in a new dispensation of independence, revealing that she is now old enough to chase her dreams, old enough to build her own voice, and old enough to own her own space in the world.

The father of two also prayed for God's blessing, guidance and protection over the life of his first daughter as she explores her new age.

He wrote:

"Today my heart is full.

My baby girl is no longer a baby.

Michelle is 18.

Eighteen years of grace.

Eighteen years of peace.

Eighteen years of bringing light into my life without even trying.

Michelle, watching you grow has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.

From your tiny fingers holding mine, to now walking boldly into adulthood with strength, intelligence and kindness... you have been my quiet blessing.

You carry yourself with so much calm, so much dignity, so much love. You are gentle but strong. Soft but wise. And every day you make me proud to be your father.

Today, you are officially an adult.

Old enough to chase your dreams.

Old enough to build your own voice. Old enough to own your space in this world.

And yes... old enough for Instagram too

Family and friends, please help me celebrate my princess.

Michelle, my prayer for you:

May God guide every step you take.

May favour follow you everywhere you go.

May doors open before you knock.

May your heart never know sorrow.

May you be protected, preserved and prospered beyond anything I could ever give you.

And may your life always reflect joy, purpose and peace."
