Comedian Ali Baba, Wife Dedicate New Triplets In Church
The atmosphere of celebration has been wholly activated – as what was once perceived to be an ‘April Fool’s Prank’ has actually turned out to be true, which had to do with Nigerian veteran comedian, Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome, famously known as Ali Baba, and his wife, Mary Akpobome, who have welcome and dedicated their triplet-boys in church.
In the pictures and videos that have gone viral on social media – popular comedians including AY Makun, Seyi Law, and MC Lively, were seen in attendance at the joyful dedication ceremony of Ali Baba’s triplets, that are named Aaron, Andrew and Alexander.
The triplets’ mother, Mary, was seen dancing and singing praises at the event, as she was surrounded by Chigul, Bunmi Davis, Ajebo Comedian, and Adebola Williams.
On Monday, April 1, 2024, in the public domain, especially on the social media, it could be recalled that Ali Baba took to his Instagram page to disclose the arrival of his new children, triplets, who he said were born two months prior. He posted a picture showing three babies being carried, and three little pairs of blue sneakers beneath them
In the post, Ali Baba wrote: “Mary and I are happy and overjoyed to welcome our 3 sons (Aaron, Aalexander, and Aandrew) into the Akpobome family. It’s been 2 months since they arrived, and as the days go by, we thank God Almighty for these 3 beautiful blessings. We also want to thank our sisters, brothers, friends, uncles, and aunties for all the supports so far.”
On that day, April 1, 2024, Ali Baba’s post was perceived as an ‘April Fool’s Day Prank’ by many people, which led to some doubts about the news.
Actor Alexx Ekubo commented on the post, where he stated thus: “Or Better still, Ancestor, let’s call them April 1st, April One & the last one will be April Fools.” Another commenter stated: “This April Fool almost catch me sha.”
But now, in reality, the news has now been confirmed to be true as Ali Baba and his wife just recently dedicated the triplets in church. Congratulations to the Akpobome’s family.

Actress Patience Ozukor: I Rejected The Name-Tag ‘Liz Benson of Enugu’ On Me, To Have My Own Name-Tag ‘Patience Ozukor’
Nollywood veteran actress, Patience Ozokwor, has disclosed and talked about how people tried to impose titles and name-tags on her at the beginning of her career and how she handled it.
The veteran actress said when she began her acting career, people tried to compare her with legendary actress, Liz Benson, by tagging her as ‘Liz Benson of Enugu’ but she rejected the tag because she believes they are both unique.
She disclosed that she also rejected suggestions to answer her husband’s first name as her surname and instead chose to bear his family name.
She actually disclosed this in an interview session via a media platform.
Her words: “I don’t know how it started, all I know was that when I started my acting career and people started recognizing this woman from Enugu.”
“So, there was a time I came to Lagos for a shoot and people started saying, ‘That’s her, this woman from Enugu.’ They said, “You’re the ‘Liz Benson of Enugu.”
“I said, ‘No, with all due respect, I don’t want to be like Liz Benson, I want to be myself. I am ‘Patience Ozokwor of Enugu’.”
“And some people came and said, ‘You don’t even need to answer Patience Ozokwor again. Answer your husband’s first name Edmund; Patience Edmund.’
“I said, ‘No, because in Igbo land, you’re not just married by one man, you’re married by a family. I don’t know about other tribes.”
“So, my husband’s people, their name is Ozokwor. When you mention Ozokwor in any part of this world, people who know the Ozokwors would say ‘I know where she comes from’,” she concluded.
