After sixteen long years of anticipation, prayers and unwavering hope, a Nigerian man named Collins Egwurugwu has finally experienced the joy of fatherhood with the arrival of twin boys.
A Journey of Sixteen Years
Collins Egwurugwu took to his Facebook page on Sunday, November 30, 2025, to share his overwhelming joy with the world. He announced that his wife had successfully delivered twin boys on Saturday, November 29, 2025, marking the end of a challenging sixteen-year wait for children.
In his emotional post, Collins openly reflected on the difficult journey he and his wife had endured. He described it as a period filled with pain, doubts, tears, worries, anxiety, and countless questions directed toward God. The emotional toll was significant, with Collins admitting there were moments he questioned his own actions and sought forgiveness for sins he wasn't sure he had committed.
Overcoming Challenges and Breaking Cycles
The pressure from attending numerous child dedication ceremonies of friends and family members added to their burden. Collins revealed that during this testing period, many thoughts crossed his mind, but he was determined not to follow in the footsteps of his father, though he didn't elaborate on what those footsteps were.
Despite the overwhelming challenges, Collins made the conscious decision to stay, to hold on, and not to give up on his marriage or his hope for children. This resilience in the face of societal pressure and personal doubt became the cornerstone of their story.
A Testimony of Faith and Celebration
Collins attributed their breakthrough to divine intervention, expressing that God came through for them in a miraculous way. He used the Nigerian proverb "na stick I drop, iron float" to illustrate the impossibility of their situation turning around by conventional means.
He expressed profound gratitude for the mercy shown to them, stating that God had watered his seed and given him increase while denying the enemy their plans. Today, Collins proudly identifies as "Papa Twins" and extends congratulations to both himself and his wife, whom he affectionately calls "Queen Collins, the mother of my lovely twins."
The excited new father concluded his announcement by hinting at upcoming plans for their children's dedication ceremony, inviting others to join them in celebrating this long-awaited blessing.
