Veteran comedian and actor, Atunyota Akpobome Alleluia otherwise known as Alibaba is getting set to shut down Lekki area of Lagos with a party in commemoration of the dedication of his triplets which he welcomes months ago.
The shindig is expected to take place next weekend. The day which is a Sunday will start out with a church dedication service at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Christ the Lord Central Parish, Lekki, Lagos State. This will be followed quickly by a mother of all reception parties at the Jewel by Aeida event centre in the Lekki area of the state.
Recall that the comedian who is a father of grown-up children had announced on his social media page on April 1, that himself and his wife, Mary had welcomed a set of triplets. Expectedly his social media page where he had put up the post was flooded with congratulatory messages. However not a few were a bit sceptical about the authenticity of the news and understandably so for a few reasons. He made the announcement on a day that is widely regarded as April Fool, a day (in this regard, April 1st) that has been set aside for playing harmless pranks, practical jokes and hoaxes. Jokesters often expose their actions by shouting ‘April Fools.’ Also putting into consideration his wife’s age – she is 55, the plausibility that she actually got pregnant, and they both welcomed triplets was slim. Alibaba himself is inching towards 60. Besides, they already had five children. So, who in their right senses would welcome more children after five, right? Or so the skeptics thought. And finally, the comedian named his boys, Aaron, Aalexander, and Aandrew. Skeptics were double sure he played a prank.
But Alibaba wasn’t playing pranks and he indeed welcomed the children but not with his wife. They were born via a surrogate in the Federal Capital City. At first, they chose to keep the delivery under wraps for reasons best known to father and mother. But soon, Alibaba began to itch to announce their delivery while his wife preferred, they continue to keep it under wraps. Alibaba won the game of wits and made the announcement.
