Popular Nigerian skit maker Nosa Afolabi, widely known as Lasisi Elenu, and his wife, actress Nonso Adika, are overjoyed to announce the birth of their second child, a baby boy named River Elroi Adédámìnì Adewunmi Nosagie Anyalewechi Afolabi.
The couple shared the happy news on Instagram with a sweet photo of their newborn’s tiny feet, delighting fans across the country. The caption included a Bible verse, “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water” (John 7:38), reflecting their faith and gratitude.
Lasisi and Nonso, who tied the knot in a private ceremony in 2022, are already parents to their daughter, Rain Olanma Oluwanifemi Afolabi, born in October of that year. The arrival of River Elroi marks another milestone for the couple, who have won hearts with their humor and love-filled family moments. Lasisi, famous for his funny skits using a voice-altering filter, had hinted at the pregnancy earlier this year. In a playful August post, he joked about a “strong Wi-Fi connection” at home leading to the new baby and called on diaper brands to get ready.
The announcement has caused excitement among fans and celebrities alike. Stars like Mr Macaroni and Iyabo Ojo flooded the couple’s post with congratulations, with Iyabo calling River a “little prince.” Fans have been especially charmed by the baby’s unique name, with some playfully calling him the “NSPPD Baby,” linking it to Pastor Jerry Eze’s prayer platform. Others noted the cute connection between the siblings’ names, Rain and River, joking that the family now has a “weather-themed” duo.
Lasisi has often shared glimpses of his life with Nonso, from her pregnancy cravings to their joyful parenting moments. When Rain was born, he described the overwhelming feeling of holding his first child, a sentiment he echoed in this latest post, praising Nonso as a “strong vessel.” The couple’s openness about their journey has made them relatable to many, blending Lasisi’s comedic fame with their down-to-earth family life.
While the Elenu household grows, fans are thrilled to see Lasisi embrace fatherhood alongside his thriving career. From creating viral skits to building a loving family, he and Nonso continue to inspire. Congratulations to the couple and their daughter Rain on welcoming River Elroi, may their home be filled with laughter and love.
