Comedian Atunyota Akpobome, popularly known as Ali Baba, has spoken about welcoming three sons with his wife at the age of 59. Ali Baba explained that his wife, Mary Akpobome, wanted a son, having had two daughters, especially after their children had travelled abroad, leaving the house feeling empty. He stated this on Monday, September 23, during a podcast interview, with Stephen Akintayo.Alibaba said: “Madam had always wanted to have a son. She had two daughters and we talked about it. So, I told her I didnt want to be having school runs 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, lets 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, lets do one and she now said if we do one you know that IVFD fails so lets do two.” He said he agreed to fertilise two eggs after her request. “So, I said, lets 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 didnt want to tell me. So they were like sometimes when we ask God for one million, he gives you two million. When God want to bless you you dont 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.” On April 1, Alibaba announced the birth of his triplets. However, because of the date, many assumed it was an April Fool’s prank until the couple dedicated their triplets in church.
