Shockwaves are reverberating across Yorùbáland and the global Yorùbá diaspora following the sudden death of the Baba Ọba (King’s Father) of the famed Oyotunji African Village in South Carolina, USA. The late Baba Ọba, Lukman Arohunfale, a revered socialite and traditionalist, passed away under circumstances already sparking fierce controversy. His death comes just days after he publicly accused the newly installed Alaafin of Oyo, His Imperial Majesty Oba Akeem Adéyẹmọ Owoade, of allegedly ordering his courtiers to beat him mercilessly during a recent courtesy visit to the Oyo palace in Nigeria.

Singer Yinka Ayefele has shared a heartwarming video of himself and his triplets on during one of his stage performances.
In the video, we see the adorable triplets trying to join him, and get his attention while singing during the performance. Succumbing to their requests, he hands the mic to the female one amongst them.
The adorable video has since gone viral and warmed hearts on social media.
Esabod Global News recalls that Ayefele and his wife, Tope, welcomed in a set of triplets, 2 boys and 1 girl on January 18, 2019 at Holy Cross Hospital in the USA.
Recounting how much joy the triplets have brought into his life, Yinka Ayefele said “
“It’s a thing of joy and I have never experienced it before. I never expected it too because when one is looking for the fruit of the womb, one may get one or at least two but not three. The first time I heard that my wife was pregnant, I was very excited. From the moment we confirmed she was pregnant, I couldn’t describe my joy. But on the day of delivery, seeing the scan, baby A, B and C, it now dawned on me that they were eventually coming to the world.
“The babies have been a source of blessing to me. There have been a lot of changes in all that pertains to me.
“I also appreciate my special wife who endured for over 20 years to achieve this. Some women would have eloped; her family would have pressured her to leave but she was steadfast.”
