AT 59, ALI BABA BECOMES FATHER OF TRIPLETS
Read Time:2 Minute, 43 Second
Atunyota Akpobome, better known by his stage name Ali Baba, is a veteran stand-up comedian who has revealed how his intention to have one more son with his wife Mary at the age of 59 unexpectedly resulted in the birth of triplets.
Ali Baba clarified that after their children had left the house feeling empty, his wife had developed a strong desire for another son.
The comedian made this claim on Monday in an interview with Stephen Akintayo for the Leadership Podcast.
He said she thought about adopting more kids at first, but ultimately she decided she would rather have her own.
He claimed that as a result, they decided to try in vitro fertilisation, intending to fertilise two eggs in the hopes of achieving at least one successful pregnancy.
He continued by saying that instead of the intended outcome—triplets—one of the fertilised eggs split into two, causing an unexpected turn of events.
“Madam had always wanted to have a son. She had two daughters and we talked about it. So, I told her I didn’t want to be having school runs, joining Wizkid and attending PTA meetings. One truth is the net becomes empty when all the children have to go abroad to study and the discussion comes up again.
“By the way, she had said wanted to adopt two or three children to take care of them. One day, she then said instead of adopting, let’s just have our own. I was like ok but the way the economy is and she replied you said the economy is bad, I said yes and she said, have you stopped paying house rent for people I said no. She asked again, “Have you stopped paying school fees and I said no.
“We have a foundation- the Purple Girl Foundation taking care of over 120 people in schools from primary to university. Beyond that foundation, we have people we are paying school fees for and people we are sending to law school. So, she said all those people you are helping, do you remember the economy?
“She said if you think about it, the reason why God put you in this position might be more than taking care of yourself. So I said okay, let’s do one and she now said if we do one you know that IVFD fails so let’s do two.”
He said he agreed to fertilise two eggs after her request.
“So, I said, let’s do two and then one of the eggs slitted into two and that was how it became three. When it became three she and the doctor knew that it had become three but they didn’t want to tell me. So they they were like sometimes when we ask God for one million, he gives you two million. When God want to bless you you don’t know how he wants to bless you, he will just do.
“So, I was like where is this going to? She said the eggs split into two” and I said it was two we were looking for and she said it now three. Then we have three boys.”
He declared the arrival of his triplets on April 1.
