For 18 years, Nollywood actor Rykardo Agbor held on to one hope: becoming a father.
The actor has shared the deeply personal story of his journey to parenthood, revealing that he and his wife waited nearly two decades before welcoming their twin children.
Speaking about the experience, Agbor said the long wait tested his patience but never diminished his faith. Rather than giving in to despair, he remained steadfast, trusting that the right time would come.

According to the actor, he had prayed specifically for twins—a prayer he says was answered 14 years ago after 18 years of waiting. Today, he is the proud father of a boy and a girl.
Reflecting on both his marriage and his journey to fatherhood, Agbor also recalled choosing to marry the woman he loved despite their different ethnic backgrounds, saying he remained committed to that decision regardless of where she came from.
“I wanted to get married to a particular lady, and I married her regardless of where she is from. She is not from my tribe. It took 18 years for me to have the twins, and I waited.
God knows, it was 18 years, and they are 14 now. I told God I wanted twins. While that wait was on, someone else might have given up, but in the end, I have twins—a boy and a girl. I asked God for what I wanted, and He answered my prayer,” he said.
