Moji marks birthday with his baby
In the first photo, Moji is seen holding his baby in one hand while holding a slice of birthday cake in the other.
The image captures a simple birthday moment, with the musician choosing to mark his special day alongside his child rather than sharing a solo birthday portrait.

The second photo features a similar setup, with Moji holding the baby and the slice of cake while his wife stands behind them.
The family photos give followers a glimpse of the musician celebrating the milestone surrounded by his immediate family.
A new chapter as a father
This year’s birthday carries a different meaning for Moji as it is the first one he is celebrating as a dad.
By specifically describing it as his “First birthday as a Dad”, the gospel musician placed fatherhood at the centre of his message, highlighting how the new role has become part of his personal journey.
Birthdays can often be moments for people to reflect on changes in their lives, and for Moji, this year’s celebration comes with a significant addition to his family.
His post also remained centred on gratitude, with the musician thanking Jesus for another year.

Rather than focusing on elaborate celebrations, Moji’s photos captured a personal family moment, showing him holding his baby as he marked the occasion.
With his wife also appearing in the second photo, the birthday post offered followers a glimpse of the family as they celebrate the musician’s latest milestone together.
For Moji, turning a year older this year is therefore not only about celebrating another year of life but also acknowledging his first birthday in the new role of fatherhood.
