UGANDA'S UGLIEST MAN BECOMES A DAD FOR THE EIGHTH TIME WITH HIS SECOND WIFE



Godfrey Baguma a 47 year old man nicknamed Sebabi  which means 'ugliest of them all' suffers from a rare yet undiagnosed medical condition giving him his distinctive look.  Baguma a man crowned the ugliest man in Uganda has become a dad for the EIGHTH time.

Baguma married his wife Kate Namanda, 30, in 2013 and the couple have just welcomed a new baby girl into their family.  Since then the couple have had six kids, two of Sebabi's kids come from his first marriage which broke up some years ago.

In one of the interviews Baguma said “I caught my first wife cheating with another man and I assured her our relationship was over.  She liked me because of my money, but people kept telling her that she could do better, so she started eloping with another man." Sebabi then met Namanda, who was 18 at the time, through his aunt who played go between.  He further said "I stayed with her four years before her people knew where she was. I didn’t want them to see me until we had a child because they would definitely advise her to leave me.  She left me when she was six months pregnant but I think she later accepted her fate because she came back two months later.  I told her that I didn’t choose to look the way I do and that if she feels I am a burden, she is free to live me."  But she chose to stay and in 2013 they held a wedding ceremony that put his hometown Kyazanga, in the Lwengo District of Uganda, at a standstill.  Guests at the wedding had to pay 4,000 Ugandan shillings (about 70p) to attend the reception and see the woman Sebabi married.

 In 2002 he entered a contest to find Uganda's ugliest man due to financial difficulties and he won, he is now a celebrity in Uganda.  Sebabi is a former cobbler who now uses his unique features to earn a living.  He appears at events just for people to see him, but he took it a step further by launching a singing career and acting.  He says he doesn’t want to go on stage for people to just stare at him.

All hope is not lost, good for you Godfrey 'Sebabi' Baguma.
