Nigerian gospel singer Yinka Ayefele recently shared his perspective on the miraculous nature of fatherhood despite facing challenges related to his spinal cord injury. Ayefele, who became a household name in the Nigerian music scene, highlighted the rarity of his situation, emphasizing that individuals with spinal cord injuries often face difficulties in impregnating a woman.

Speaking on the ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ show hosted by content creator Bae U Barbie, Ayefele addressed misconceptions surrounding the birth of his triplets. He debunked claims suggesting that he had “bought” his children, clarifying that he impregnated his wife, Temitope Titilope, who then gave birth to their three children.

He explained that despite his spinal cord injury, he was able to impregnate his wife, emphasizing the uniqueness of his situation.

Ayefele’s journey to parenthood is particularly remarkable considering the challenges he has faced since sustaining a spinal cord injury in an automobile accident in 1997. Despite being reliant on a wheelchair, Ayefele has not allowed his physical condition to hinder his aspirations, both personally and professionally.
