Yinka Ayefele’s Triplet Asked Him Why He Can’t Stand Again

Yinka Ayefele, a well-known gospel singer from Nigeria, recently spoke openly with his boys about the life-changing car accident that left him wheelchair-bound.

On his Instagram account, he posted a video with the remark, “They always want me to stand up.” And up until yesterday night, they asked me why on a daily basis. I really tried not to become too attached. That was, in fact, “My turning point.” 12/12/1997. Glory be to God.” Ayefele was observed having a heart-to-heart conversation with his children while reclining on a bed.

Curiosity forced Richard, his son, to ask his father outright why he was unable to stand.

Ayefele responded, revealing that he was involved in an accident.

Little Richard, still curious, persistently sought more details.

The singer then explained that it was an auto crash that occurred during the festive season on December 12, 1997.

Curious about the car accident, Little Richard and the other kids listened as Yinka described how he was driving on a slippery road when his car somersaulted six times and landed in a deep pit within a bush.

Ayefele recounted being rescued by Good Samaritans who promptly took him to the hospital.

He shared that he later underwent further treatment in London for better recovery.

During the conversation, Ayefele noticed his son’s concern, assuring him that he would be fine and expressing confidence in his ability to walk someday.

In the video, Ayefele also disclosed how his son encouraged him to try standing up from his wheelchair and engage in exercises to aid his recovery and regain the ability to walk.

On December 12, 1997, Ayefele was involved in an automobile accident, which damaged his spinal cord and confined him to a wheelchair.

The singer and his wife, Temitope, welcomed their set of triplets in 2019.
