I have kids from different women but I'm not going to marry any one of them- ORITSEFEMI

Oritsefemi became a hot brand after his remake
of Fela Kuti’s “Double Wahala” song.

Ekele Majemite Oritsefemi is an Ajegunle-bred
singer, who started his career as a member of a
two-man band, The Junglist.

Just like Tuface Idibia who has 7 kids from three
different women and ended up marrying one of
them, Oritsefemi also has kids from different
women but in his case, he doesn't have plans to
marry any of them.

"Honestly, for now, I am not married. But
definitely, I am going to get married very soon. I
have a fiancé and we have been together for
close to two years now. I have two beautiful
daughters who are between ten and nine years. I
have a family and I’m from a polygamous home. I
have a responsibility as a father.

My two daughters are from different mothers and
I am not marrying any of them."

So, why would Ortisefemi not want to marry any
of the women that bore him beautiful kids that he
is so proud of?

He explains; "It’s a long story. Back in time, as a
street boy, growing up in the ghetto city of
Ajegunle, I had some childhood girlfriends who
got pregnant.

Then, I had no means of livelihood to sustain
them. But I ensured that I took care of my kids
right from when they were born. Unfortunately, I
couldn’t take care of their mothers because of my
financial status then. But now, that God has
elevated me, I am planning to take my children
abroad.

I was struggling. I was on the streets, hustling to
make ends meet. I actually stayed away from my
family. I couldn’t depend on my dad, because he
had his own challenges as a polygamist.

That was why at 14 years, I went into the street
to hustle. I hawked in the street. My dad was an
engineer, and he taught me how to dismantle and
repair boat engines. I learnt all that.

Then, I had my own boat that I was using to
transport passengers from Ajegunle to Lagos
Island.

I also worked as a bus conductor. Growing in
Ajegunle, you have to hustle, otherwise your
contemporaries would snatch your girlfriend from
you.Ajegunle residents believe in hustling. That
time, nobody knew me, so, why would I go into
hiding. But honestly, I didn’t engage in any dirty
or illegal business. I believe in my music and
that’s what is seeing me through today.
