I have waited, prayed for over a decade to have twins — Oba Okikiola

By Florence Ayoola

The Arolagbade 1 of Agbegise Kingdom, Agbegise Ifo, Ogun state, His Royal Majesty, Oba (Dr.) Joseph Okikola Ikudaisi Somade, has expressed his excitement and glee as he welcomes new twins after over 10 years of expectation.

Although many seldom desire and long for the gift of a twin, but this rare birth has more than often been prominent with those who never wished for them.

However, the case of Oba Okikiola stood out as he not only welcomed twins to the palace, they “are the most precious gift God has endowed me” since his ascendance to the throne.

The king revealed that he had never stopped praying and hoping, that his desire to birth twins was ceaseless for the past decade, and according to him, was dumbfounded when God finally answered his prayers.

According to him, “Words are not enough to express my joy.”

He added that “I have children before these twins. But these ones are ‘Omo-Oye.’ They are precious Jewels that come with both gender, male and female.”

He continued, stating with glee,  “I’m very happy. I give glory to God. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to have twins. I have been trying to get twins for the past Ten years.”

He concluded that being a “Christian and  prayer Warrior, no matter how the condition, you have to blend with it.”
