A man from Bauchi state has praised himself after his four wives gave birth within three weeks.

The 36-year-old carpenter from Zango ward, Bauchi State, Nura Walwala Magaji said he is proud of his achievement.

After his wives gave birth, the number of his children grew to 13.

Two among his four wives gave birth within 48 hours while the interval between the third delivery and the fourth was 21 days.

Speaking exclusively with LEADERSHIP, the proud father of 13 thanked Allah for blessing him with four additional children, adding that his childhood dream is to father at least 40 children.

“I thank God for this precious gifts because it is not everyone who desires to have children are blessed with them. While some have mixed genders, others are given boys exclusively. Babies are a gift from Allah and I am happy that my four wives gave birth to three bouncing boys and a girl within just three weeks,” he said.

Although managing a large family isn’t easy, Nura insisted that with earnings from his carpentry works and proceeds from the petty trade his wives are engaged in, he would comfortably carter for his children.
