Nigerian Woman Gives Birth to Nine Babies at Once, Expanding Family to Eleven Children

Douala, Cameroon / Nigeria — In an extraordinarily rare medical event, Nigerian mother Obianuju Anthonia Ibeanu delivered nine babies in a single birth, welcoming three boys and six girls on March 23, 2023.<br><br><br>

The delivery took place in Nigeria, after which the newborns were transferred to Douala in neighboring Cameroon, where the family is based. The parents, Honourable Anthony Ibeanu and his wife, are now caring for one of the largest families formed by a single birth in recent years.<br><br><br>

In the days following the announcement, online claims circulated suggesting Mrs. Ibeanu had waited 25 years to become a mother. Family representatives later clarified that this was incorrect, noting that she had previously given birth to twins. With the arrival of the nonuplets, the couple’s total number of children now stands at eleven.<br><br><br>

Births involving nine babies at once are among the rarest events in obstetrics and present immense medical challenges. Such deliveries require advanced neonatal care, large specialist teams, and prolonged monitoring to support premature infants in the critical early weeks of life.<br><br><br>

The Ibeanu family’s experience has drawn widespread attention, both for its biological rarity and for the extraordinary responsibility of caring for nine newborns simultaneously. Beyond the headlines, the story underscores the complexity of high-order multiple births and the resilience required from both families and medical teams when nature defies expectation.<br><br><br>
