Obianuju Anthonia Ibeanu, from Neni in Anambra state, Nigeria, welcomed the babies back in August 2023, but she is just now going viral after she edited her Facebook bio.

In 2021, a Malian woman, Halima Cissé gave birth to the nonuplets in Morocco. Mali’s government flew her there for specialist care.
Two sets of nonuplets have previously been recorded – one born to a woman in Australia in 1971 and another to a woman in Malaysia in 1999 – but none of the babies survived more than a few days.
World record holder Nadya Suleman’s octuplets have grown up and are now 14 years old. She conceived them through in vitro fertilisation.
