Meet Ghanaian Man With 100 Children Who Still Wants More (Photos)

Yesterday was World Population Day - and one man in Ghana has 100 reasons to mark his particular contribution. Kofi Asilenu, 80, is the father of 100 children by 12 wives.


He lives with his family in a village called Amankrom, a 45-minute drive from the capital Accra.

His family make up a third of the 600 people in the village.

He told BBC that he wanted a big family because he did not have siblings:

''I don’t have any brother or uncle, that’s why I decided to have many children so that they can give me a befitting burial when I die. In my home town if you give birth to one child they will say you are not important so I want to have many children."

Asilenu says he might have more children.

His big family has, however, come at a cost. He says that he was well off financially, but his resources have mostly been drained due to the cost of raising such a large brood - even though he says now he gets financial help from his children.

Kofi Asilenu looks physically strong and even says he is willing to have more children - despite having mistakenly proposed to one of his daughters three years ago.

The embarrassing incident meant he was forced to apologise to her, explaining that he had an eye problem so he could not recognise her.

As for his wives, they are all happy with the set up.

First wife Nayome Asilenu told the BBC:
When I married my husband and he decided to marry more women, I didn’t have any option. He’s able to take care of us, pay the children’s school fees. They are healthy and strong so there’s nothing wrong with that."

Polygamy was preferred in Ghana, to have many children was seen as a symbol of wealth. However, things have changed with women having more control on deciding how many children they can have and also birth control measures have been promoted.

Deaf and Dumb Man Been Sent to 5 Years Jail Over Peddling of Indian Hemp (See Photo)

A Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos State, has sentenced a 23-year-old deaf and dumb man, Abbas Ahmed to five years imprisonment for selling Indian hemp.


A statement signed by the spokesperson for the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Mr Ofoyeju Mitchell, said that Ahmed was arrested by the police on February 5, 2014.

He was picked up along Agege motor park road, Lagos while dealing in cannabis, a narcotic drug similar to cocaine contrary to and punishable under Section 11(c) of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) Act Cap N30 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2001.

After a protracted trial which led to engagement of the services of an interpreter by the court to communicate with him, Abbas recently pleaded guilty as charged, and the prosecuting counsel, Barrister Jeremiah Aernan, asked to court to apply the punishment prescribed by the law.

Meanwhile, a 22-year-old security guard, Adebowale Michael was also jailed for five years for dealing in cocaine.

Michael was arrested with four pinches of cocaine weighing 0.7 grams at Oniru Estate, Lekki Ajah Lagos by patriotic youths in February 2017.

The convict was first handed over to the police and later transferred to the NDLEA where he was charged to court for unlawful dealing in cocaine contrary to and punishable under the NDLEA Act.

Both convicts pleaded with court to temper justice with mercy, considering their ages and for being first time offenders.

The presiding judge, Justice Rilwan Aikawa, in his ruling, said cocaine trafficking was an international crime that had smeared the reputation of the country and must be seriously dealt with. He therefore sentenced each convict to five years in jail.

The NDLEA Chairman, retired Col Muhammad Mustapha Abdallah, commended the youths that arrested Adebowale, and urged of the public not to fold their hands while drug traffickers were making the society unsafe and insecure.

Check Out This 6 Things To Consider Before Buying A Laptop

We’ll all need a laptop at some point in our lives and there are some broad guidelines you should keep in mind when buying a laptop so you can buy the right one.


Below are 6 of these broad guidelines to help you out.

1). The Screen
When buying a laptop, be sure to go for the laptop that gives you the best screen within your price range. A good screen typically considers three things: resolution, viewing angles and size. Laptops with higher resolution screens are generally the best ones to choose. For portability, smaller screens are better, but if you intend to use the laptop for entertainment and architectural or artistic functions, then a bigger screen is best. Lastly, in terms of viewing angles, a laptop screen that touts IPS (in-plane switching) technology offers the widest viewing angles for the best user comfort.

2). Screen Quality
You should consider laptops that are comfortable to look at because you are likely to be looking at it for quite some time during the day. Many laptops these days have touchscreens, but these touch screens tend to be glossy and glossy screens leads to reflections that negatively affect your eyes. You should therefore try to avoid these glossy screens and maybe opt for laptops that aren’t touchscreen, but if you must buy one go for the ones that don’t have glossy screens.

3). RAM
Typically, more RAM is better. For a decent laptop experience, 4GB RAM can be considered, but 8GB RAM is recommended. If you intend to do a lot of video and photo editing, you can consider buying one with 16GB RAM. More RAM allows for more applications to run at the same time, and for more data to be quickly accessible to the system at any one time. When buying a laptop, it’s always best to consider the ones with more RAM compared to others, within your favored price range.

4). Keyboard Quality
It’s advisable to choose a laptop with a keyboard that’s comfortable for you, rather than one that packs in every key and forces you to start hunting for keys. You should go for a keyboard with a comfortable layout with full sized keys and some space around the arrow keys. The keys should have a sort of ‘snappy responsiveness’ and should be easy on your fingers. When buying a laptop, it’s best to get a feel of the keyboard rather than ‘buying blind’ (asking someone to buy it for you or ordering online).

5). CPU
Intel’s Core-Based CPUs are one of the best to consider when buying a laptop. Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 offer some of the best performance when it comes to multitasking and multimedia tasks. However, for Core i7-based systems, though they offer the best performance for your laptop, the heat emitted from the base of the laptop tends to be a cause for concern if you plan to use the laptop for a long time.

6). Battery Life
Pay attention to the rating of the battery in Watt-hours (Wh) or milliamp-hours (mAh); typically the larger the figures, the longer the battery can last.
