Rather than celebrate with a fresh photo, she used the moment to look back on how dramatically life shifted after that milestone.
In her caption, Iyanaladuke described turning 40 as a moment she believed would usher in a new season of abundance. The family had recently relocated to Lagos and moved into a large mansion, and everything around her pointed to a bright future.
"Life begins at 40, and I genuinely thought I was ready for it," she wrote. "Little did I know that what was ahead of me was far bigger than anything I could have imagined."

The mother of one revealed that her 40th birthday was a personal affair, shared only with people she considered close. Yet even within that small circle, not everyone was genuinely happy for her.
"Some people smiled with me while secretly envying what they saw. And somewhere behind those smiles, plans were already being made," she wrote.
Despite the weight of her words, Iyanaladuke chose not to detail the full extent of what she went through, saying the occasion called for reflection on lessons learnt rather than the full story. She noted that the period between October 2024 and today had taught her a great deal.
