People Thought Comedian Seyilaw Was Impotent

Not just a few knew that comedian, Seyi
Law and his wife, Ebere, went through emotional trauma sometime ago when they
lost their child. But now, after his wife was
delivered of a baby recently, the comedian
is in cloud nine.

In a chat with Saturday Beats, the comedian
explained that even before he had the child
that died, some people already tagged him
impotent.

“The fact that we lost a child was very
tough. Sometimes when you post something
on the social media, people wonder why you bring your family issue to the social media.
What they do not know is that you just want
some words of encouragement. Sometimes you really cannot control the way bad news
spreads. I have heard people say things like
I cannot get a woman pregnant. When the news came out that I lost my child, it was more like a confirmation that I am a man. But by the special grace of God, I have another child now. What made that very
painful was the fact that when we lost the
baby, I did not know what to tell my wife and how to console her and that was a very difficult time for me. I needed to rely on the
words of encouragement from people to stay strong for both myself and my wife,”
he said.

The comedian said he's very happy with the
arrival of their new baby. His words: “I am very excited that I am a proud father. I remember that one day in my church, they were doing a programme tagged, 'Parenting in the 21st century' .
When I was telling someone about it, I said that the programme was for parents like us. The excitement is so much and I am very
happy about it. I am grateful to God and I cannot quantify my joy."
