A Nigerian man’s emotional reaction after welcoming a baby girl has been captured on camera and it is so heart-melting.

It was gathered that his wife gave birth to a child after having two miscarriages and he was so overwhelmed with joy that he broke down in tears.

The man paced excitedly in the hall while shedding tears of joy as his baby was brought out for him by the nurse.

In video posted on social media, he could be seen running as though he wanted to leave the hospital but his friend called him back.

When he eventually calmed himself, the father carried his child with so much pride and thanked God.
