Popular Nollywood Actor Adeniyi Johnson has revealed he waited for a decade to become a father.
Johnson in an interview with Kunle Afod, shared his emotional journey, which spanned two marriages and countless years of prayer and perseverance.
After a three-year wait for a child in his previous marriage with fellow actress Toyin Aimaku, Adeniyi married Oluwaseyi Edun, another actress in 2018
The couple spent seven years seeking God’s blessing for a child, their patience was finally rewarded in February 2023 when they welcomed a set of twins, a boy and a girl.
Adeniyi noted his faith and patience for helping him scale through the challenging period.
He said: “The vigil was much. But we thank God that what one has been crying over God turned it into joy. It is a cry of 10 years. I waited for 10 years. Myself and the mother of the twins have been seeking God’s face for a child for seven years. And when it came, God said he wanted to gift me with twins. What do I do?” he said.
“Whenever I am at home, and I see them climbing on top of me, I am always very happy. I would say thank you, God. Other people buy diapers for one child for us we buy two. We bless God for provision. They also eat well.
“We did not allow age to tell on us. And we thank God we do not look like what we have passed through.”
