“My children constantly urge me to rise, move, and walk like other men,” says Ayefele.

Renowned gospel singer and Fresh FM founder, Yinka Ayefele, recently opened up about a profoundly emotional aspect of his life. In a poignant video shared on his Instagram page, Ayefele, who became paralyzed following a spinal cord-affecting auto accident in 1997, revealed the emotional challenges he faces.

In the video, Ayefele shared how his twin children consistently question why he can’t walk and stand like other fathers. This revelation provides a glimpse into the daily struggles Ayefele encounters, balancing the complexities of parenthood with his own physical limitations.

The video captures a vulnerable moment as Ayefele’s children innocently inquire why he is unable to walk or stand. Despite his efforts to remain composed, Ayefele emotionally explained how the 1997 accident affected his back, rendering him unable to walk again.

“They always want me to stand up and kept asking me every day, but I tried hard not to be emotional. Indeed, the 1997 accident was the turning point in my life,” Ayefele shared in the video.

Visibly moved, Ayefele attempted to articulate the lasting impact of the life-altering accident. He emphasized that the 1997 incident marked a definitive turning point in both his personal and professional journey.
