Nigerian rapper, actor, and businessman Tobechukwu Ejiofor, popularly known by his stage name iLLBliss, has revealed how he and his wife battled childlessness for eight years.
The actor, who is most known for his role as Odogwu Malay in the film ‘King of Boys,’ remarked that the eight-year span seemed incomplete for him and his wife, Munachiso.
He made this when speaking with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, who shared a clip of the interview on Sunday.
The rapper said that he had to wait eight years to welcome his first daughter, Sochikaima, and described that time as “incomplete.”
He said:
“It was incomplete. This is why you must marry your friend. My wife’s name is Munachiso and it means I work with God and my God is always by my side. Sometimes she’ll be like, ‘Babe why are we not panicking? Why are we not having anxiety about children?’.
“It was a long wait. I got married in 2009 and I knew I was doing the honorable thing. The plan was to get married, raise a family promptly and take care of all of them.

“So the first year came, second year, third year, fourth year, fifth year. Some of the friends that I was part of their groomsmen or we did collectible groomsmen had gotten married, their kids had come.
“Even the guys that were groomsmen for my own wedding had gotten married and kids were popping up from all around us.”
Illbliss said that people tried to make him and his wife anxious by trying to introduce them to preachers.
But according to him, he and his wife decided to stay with God and later thought of adopting a child.
He said:
“We were happy. We weren’t even saying our rosary let alone having to run around for things but we stayed with God.
”I’ll be honest with you, at some point, we decided to adopt. We said we would take somebody’s child and raise at least show them so much love and as soon as we had spoken about that, wifey took in like two months after then.”
The rapper noted that he and his wife were so excited when the doctor broke the news of the pregnancy to them.
