Popular Nigerian comedian and actor Nosa Afolabi, popularly known as Lasisi Elenu, and his wife Nonso Adika Afolabi joyfully announce the arrival of their baby boy.
Lasisi shared a heartfelt Instagram post declaring the arrival of their son which reads: “Whoever believes in me, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” (John 7:38 NLT) The post continued: “Meet our son RIVER ELROI, ADÉDÁMINI, ADEWUNMI, NOSAGIE, ANYALEWECHI AFOLABI… Our RIVER of flowing waters is here, our JOY, our TESTIMONY, our GIFT from God. RIVER – a symbol of life, abundance, renewal, and God’s unending grace flowing through us.”
Nigerian actress and media personality Bukunmi Adeaga-Ilori, popularly known as “KieKie”, took to the comment section and wrote: “For a River never runs dry, You’re blessed.”
Other social media users also flooded the comments section with congratulatory messages. One user, @julyanah_, wrote: “I love his name. God bless and keep you, River Elroi.” Another, @meetjennifer, wrote: “This post gave me goosebumps. River El-Roi. What a name!

Lasisi Elenu and his wife, Nonso Adika Afolabi, got married in 2022 and welcomed their first child, a daughter, later that same year.
With the arrival of their son, River Elroi, the couple’s home is now filled with even more joy and laughter. Their growing family continues to attract warm wishes from fans who admire the love, unity, and deep faith that the pair openly share. The comedian has often described fatherhood as a humbling and life-changing experience, noting how it has shaped his priorities and outlook on life.
