Lasisi Elenu, wife welcome baby girl

Lasisi Elenu, the Nigerian comedian, and Nonso Adika, his wife, have welcomed their first child.

Elenu announced the baby’s arrival in an Instagram post on Sunday.

He shared a video capturing their journey from his wife’s pregnancy to childbirth.

In the post, he spoke about the prospects of fatherhood for him.

He also praised his wife for her “strength” throughout the process.

Elenu revealed the baby’s name and described her as a “handful of joy” and a “storehouse of abundance”.

“Blessings they say come in different shapes and sizes, and this time, ours came in the shape of a beautiful, colourful and extraordinary baby,” the funnyman wrote.

“I personally had a gaze of disbelief when you were born as I was lost for words just admiring and appreciating the goodness of God for a blessing this big.

“Another bigger blessing is having a strong vessel as a wife. [I] understand that women are the strongest people on earth. But you, my beautiful wife, are one hell of a woman. Your strength is arguably from the highest source.

“I saw you go through so many phases in a 9-month span and had the best insight of what it felt like carrying a child @heynonso.

“At some point, I also felt pregnant because I remembered wanting the smell of used engine oil for no reason.

“We have been blessed with a handful of Joy, a storehouse of abundance, the greatest gift I ever got throughout my existence.

“It’s too much to hold in. Damn, Sinzu Money is a father. Welcome, Rain Olanma Oluwanifemi Afolabi. You are a blessing to this generation. @heybabyrain.”

In a post on the baby’s Instagram page, she was said to have been born on October 4.

In July, Elenu, born Nosa Afolabi, announced his engagement to Nonso.

The couple announced the pregnancy with pictures from the baby shower shared on their social media pages.
