In mid nineteenth century, a man was found in Brazil whose only purpose in life was to fertilise women to have as many babies as possible,
His name was BATA SIKA where his offspring were so large in number that it was said a town in Brazil is estimated to have at least 30% of its residents to be his great-grandchildren,
BATA SIKA was born in 1828 in São Paulo in Brazil in a period of prosperity in the cotton and sugar cane industry especially after the local government brought large numbers of African slaves to work on the fields where they needed strong men so the rich men of that era got an idea that they should force well-fit men to have as many children as possible so their bloodline will continue through the generations to come with the same genes so they can be used for hard labour,
BATA SIKA was physically well-built with very strong muscles over two meters tall so his owner seized the opportunity and forced him to have multiple relationships with as many women as possible so he could have as many children as possible to either sell them as slaves or make them work on the cotton and sugar cane fields,
BATA SEKA had no choice and he could not refuse the wishes of his master so he ended up having 249 children,
The strange thing is that his master used to treat him exceptionally well compared to other slaves and provide for him the best of everything from food to accommodation and he never made him do any hard labour or work in the fields,
BETA SEKA’s sole job was to fertilise women,
And he is believed today to be the grandfather of over 30% of the people of the city of Santa Iokesa where he lived the rest of his life,
BETA SEKA reached the age of 130 years old and spent his life searching for his children but never found any of them,
After slavery was abolished in 1888 his master gave him the best treatment and offered him a piece of land where he lived and married a girl named of PALMIRA and they had only 9 children and dedicated the rest of his life in educating his children to know how to read and write,
After a long life full of hardships and tribulations BATA SEKA passed away peacefully in 1958 at the age of 130 and many streets and monuments and schools were named after him to commemorate his unique story and unforgettable life…!
