Nigerian comedian Lasisi Elenu and his wife, Nonso, have welcomed their second child, a baby boy named River Elroi.
The couple announced the birth on Instagram, sharing a photo of the baby’s tiny feet and expressing gratitude to God for the new addition to their family.
In his post, Lasisi explained that the name River symbolizes life, abundance, renewal, and God’s unending grace. He also referenced John 7:38 (NLT) — “Whoever believes in me, rivers of living water will flow from within them” — to highlight the spiritual significance behind the name.
“Meet our son RIVER ELROI, ADÉDÁMÍNÌ, ADEWUNMI, NOSAGIE, ANYALEWECHI AFOLABI @river_elroi. Our RIVER of flowing waters is here, our JOY, our TESTIMONY, our GIFT from God,” Lasisi wrote.
This is the couple’s second child, following the birth of their daughter, Rain Afolabi, in 2022.
Fans and well-wishers have flooded the comedian’s comment section with congratulatory messages, celebrating the arrival of the newest member of the Afolabi family.
