In the quiet corners of Anambra State, Nigeria, a scandal has erupted that’s got everyone talking, from village elders to social media warriors. An 18-year-old apprentice, barely out of his teens, has allegedly turned a small community upside down by impregnating ten girls in a mere five months. Yes, you read that right ten! This jaw-dropping saga, revealed by the state’s Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Ify Obinabo, is equal parts shocking and perplexing, raising eyebrows and questions about youth, responsibility, and maybe even a touch of charm gone wild.
It all began when the young man, whose identity remains under wraps, adding a layer of mystery was sent to learn a trade under a local businessman. Picture this: a fresh-faced teen, eager to carve out a future, steps into a bustling shop, tools in hand, dreams in his heart. But within just three months, he’d done more than learn a trade, he’d left a trail of chaos. The first to fall? His boss’s daughter, a girl likely charmed by his youthful bravado. As if that wasn’t bold enough, he also got the shop’s sales girl pregnant. Two girls, two pregnancies, and one very angry boss later, the teen was promptly sent packing back to his village.
You’d think the story ends there, with a humbled teen licking his wounds. Nope. Back in his village, this young Casanova didn’t slow down. In just two months, he allegedly swept eight more girls off their feet and into motherhood. Eight! The math is staggering: ten girls, five months, one 18-year-old. It’s the kind of tale that sounds ripped from a soap opera, yet it’s unfolding in real life, leaving a community grappling with the fallout.
Commissioner Ify Obinabo, visibly stunned, shared the bombshell during a live social media broadcast on May 7, 2025. “This boy was sent to learn a trade at 18, and only three months in, he impregnated his oga’s daughter and his salesgirl,” she recounted, her tone a mix of disbelief and exasperation. “He returned to his village, and within a short time, eight more girls were confirmed pregnant.” Obinabo, a seasoned official, admitted the situation was “beyond my capacity,” pleading for public advice on how to handle this unprecedented mess.
The boy’s mother, understandably distraught, was the one who sounded the alarm. “Anytime I see a girl coming towards our house, my heart jumps,” she confessed to Obinabo. Can you blame her? Her son’s escapades have turned their home into ground zero for village gossip. But here’s where it gets even wilder: when questioned, the teen didn’t flinch. He told the commissioner he loved the girls and promised to marry them once he struck it rich. Talk about confidence or delusion!
Social media is ablaze with reactions. “Champion no pass this one again,” quipped one X user, while another marveled, “How did he have time to do all this?” Posts are flooded with memes, shock emojis, and heated debates. Some call him a reckless predator; others wonder if the girls were willing partners swept up in his charm. The ages of the girls remain undisclosed, fueling speculation and concern about potential exploitation. Was this a case of a silver-tongued teen or something more troubling?
Obinabo’s plea for help has sparked calls for action. Suggestions range from counseling and rehabilitation for the teen to community support for the girls and their families. The pregnancies, now a stark reality, raise urgent questions: Who will care for these babies? How will the girls’ futures be protected? And what does this say about the pressures and pitfalls facing today’s youth? Some even speculate about “spiritual” influences, a nod to local beliefs that might explain the teen’s uncanny success.
As Anambra reels, the story is a stark reminder of how quickly youthful indiscretions can spiral into life-altering consequences. The teen’s fate, legal, social, or otherwise, remains unclear, with no reports of charges as of May 7, 2025. But one thing’s certain: this tale of ten pregnancies in five months has cemented his place in local lore. Will he become a cautionary tale or a legend in his own right? Only time will tell, but for now, Anambra’s gossip mills are working overtime, and the world is watching.
