Nigerian radio personality, actress, and comedian Omotunde Adebowale David, known as “Adaku” in a TV series, Jenifa’s Diary, has given birth to twins in the United States, but her baby’s citizenship status might be uncertain due to President Trump’s recent executive order reversing birthright citizenship.
The exciting news has been met with an outpouring of congratulations from fans, friends and colleagues.
Adaku, who had been a beloved figure in the Nigerian entertainment industry for over two decades, took to social media to share the joyful news, saying “My joy is full”
However, in a twist turn of events, Trump’s order, signed in January 2025, aims to end automatic citizenship for children born to undocumented immigrants or those on temporary visas.
This move has sparked controversy and legal challenges, with many arguing it’s unconstitutional and violates the 14th Amendment.
As “Adaku” welcomes her new addition, she might face challenges in securing citizenship for her child.
However, it’s essential to note that the executive order is facing lawsuits and may not be implemented immediately.
The order’s fate will likely be decided in court, and its implementation is uncertain.
The implications of Trump’s order are far-reaching, affecting over 11 million undocumented immigrants and thousands of people on non-immigrant visas, including those on H-1B visas.
As the situation unfolds, “Adaku” and many others will be closely watching the developments.
