Nollywood actor Adeniyi Johnson has opened up about his decade-long journey to fatherhood, revealing that it took 10 years of waiting before he and his wife, Edun Oluwaseyi, were blessed with twins.

Johnson in a recent interview with his colleague, Kunle Afod, shared that his journey to becoming a father was marked by both patience and faith.

The 46-year-old actor explained that in his previous marriage, he had waited three years for a child, but the marriage ended.

In 2016, he began dating Edun, and they tied the knot in 2018.

Johnson spoke about dedicating years to prayer and religious devotion, with seven of those years spent alongside his current wife.

His unwavering faith and patience were ultimately rewarded when the couple welcomed their twin babies in February 2023, a moment they had long prayed for.

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?

”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.”

However, the actor’s heartfelt story underscores the power of perseverance, faith, and hope, showing that sometimes, the best things come to those with patient.
