Dr. Joe Okei Odumekin, widow of Afenifère’s late spokesman Yinka Odumakin, was delivered of twins- boys and girls in a US hospital with on Wednesday 27 October 2021.
The mother and the babies are very healthy.
The “miracle” birth fulfilled Odumakin’s request that a new baby be named after him towards the end of his stay on earth.
The couple got married in 1997, had their first baby girl in 2000 and the second, a boy, in 2003. While the girl was named after Joe, the boy was named Abraham after the late Afenifere leader, Pa Abraham Adesanya.
The girl’s was named after Joe and Abraham was named after Pa Abraham Adesanya, the late head of the Afenifere.
18 years after the last birth, the twins came.
After surviving a 3-day coma in 2020, and a few months before falling into the disease that eventually claimed his life but unexpectedly, he and his wife had a great yearning for a new child.
Thank God Joe didn’t dither or dilute, since she took the time he got sick and never recovered.
Joe had great news, but he have never heard word of his wishes because he didn’t make it out of the ventilator .
He had prophesied, however, what the baby or the baby need to be called if his wishes become reality.
YO was so accurate in his predictions that he provided the babies’ names and advised his wife how he may raise the children.
While many may interpret this to mean that YO had premonition about his death, it was only a strong desire expressed by him to have babies that he would dot over and who would possibly step into his “aluta” shoes.
It’s a dream come true!
