Mother who delivered the babies at 30 weeks through ceran Section said she was actually expecting quintuplets only to find out during delivery that there were six babies recounting her experience she said she got married on 3rd April 2010 like every other person and expected to start having babies immediately however
Since then it has not been easy we expected children but they were not forthcoming we went to many places and spent money but no results so we just accepted to wait for God’s time in her words the happy mother said that within the 13 years she spent expecting a child
She and her husband a pastor with Living Faith Church chicara in kogi States spent a lot of money that yielded no results at one point I was impatient to deliver so that I could rest the last two weeks before delivery was the climax of it all I could not sleep sitting down
Standing lying down were all not easy however I was encouraged by Dr Bellow last week he encouraged me to go another one week before delivering the babies and I’m glad I did because we did not even know that there was an extra baby she said I feel good cuz before now it
Has been a concern and a big question mark But by the mercy of God I can proudly say today God has trust me to give me responsibility as a man as a husband the responsibility of any man is to have a children that you take care of that will stand after you
So I’m so grateful that God has indeed done it it has been a concern before now but by the grace of God I’m really a proud father I’m really happy unto God and I pray that God will use men to give this children the desired life that God
Has prepared them on Earth economic wise seeing what is going on in Nigeria now has not been easy if it’s not the help of men honestly it’s going to be a serious Challenge and it’s going to be a slab if God can trust you with such a
Seed and you cannot give them the best in life it has been a serious challenge but I thank God for raising men I thank God for raising men and I thank God for so far and I still believe that that God will still raise men that will help us
It’s a long journey the children are just barely five 8 days today they’re just 8 days old and if you know what has passed to keep them to this age to this time has been so much let alone getting home let alone starting school and the rest of the challenges ahead so honestly
It has not been easy you cannot include the drugs we been buying out side within a space of one week 800,000 has gone out every money that people brought to this place will push in the same every morning there is no if I My Account Now does not have
Anything tangible not that I’ve not received as M the money is coming we’re pushing out the more this morning they changed their drugs giving us a fresh antibiotic and each of them is costing 25,000 and we have to buy three three for each child and they are six so the
The the money is not there so not every money you see with those that you can count is no longer there so it has been a really challenge uh within from the day they brought them from the womb physical cash that BR came my hand came to my hands was about
800,000 but I don’t have a Cobo now there is a minister that came though I was not around uh he came and uh he promised that based on the um the exorbitant rate of the bus that he will take it up and also hence forth whatever
They using to take care of the children and the mother they should not bother us but honestly speaking have not be the way we we have spending so when we call them that look at what the minister said they said no we’ve not received a letter from them neither have we received a
Cobble from them so the children are yours if we give you something to buy you cannot buy okay you be the consequence so they have been here but honestly we are still expecting them the children came at 30th weeks and um normal is supposed to be 36 weeks which
Is 9 months so we they have to manage the children to grow into maturity to avoid infection and the rest of them however the bills are there and it’s only when we are completely done that can now talk about the bill there are standing bills there are standing bills
That we’ve not cleared the standing bills and every day the incubator every day the bills the bills are increasing so the standing ones no they’ve not given us the the bills they’ve not printed out the bills are you with me now hence because the bills are still running so
Every day we are the bills are accumulating letting so it’s only when we demand for it they can now print it out they you have so far what is outstanding so we I don’t have the ex but is really in good figures honestly um I want to use this moment
To cry to everywh me in Nigeria that we need your help we need your help a government individuals institutions let them come for our help why because we know the burden ahead of us and right now we cannot do it alone actually the uh the delegate from the president came
But they made a promise they came with some materials but basically they made a promise the physical C that can take care of certain things has not been released but hopefully we believe that there are more better days ahead I felt I was happy because I’ve waited for
Years I waited for 13 years and some months I’ve gone to places I’ve we have spent money we have we’ve done all we could as human beings to have our children and we couldn’t so I actually I was happy but it was with Miss feeling cuz I was like how do I five
Children I usually see women with one two and it was not easy how will I carry five what my confidence was in God I said he that made it possible knows how to carry me through actually now they are not with me I only extract breast
Milk and take to them to for these people that are uh the expert in that area to take care of them till they are fully matured I know how stressful I feel now with the the the pain of the surgery and all that but I know that God will give me the
Strength to go through the however he will give me the stress to go the strength to go through the stress because when I was still carrying them it got to a point I was like ah I couldn’t continue it was not it was no longer easy for me their weight was
Much but I the consultant that took care of me uh consultant Bellow he kept telling me you are doing well keep pushing keep going on don’t worry just if it gets to this level will bring them out and put them in incubator and nothing will happen to them but just
Continue he kept encouraging me encouraging me till I got to the level that the children can survive outside the womb I would like the government to come to my Aid to take care of the children actually the the minister of women Affair came here she said I like what she said she
Told me that God just used me to bring the children that the children is for all of us that they will do all they can to make sure that they help to train the children to nurture them to make Provisions so she has made that promise and and actually I’m counting on that
And I call need to be to get employed I was doing a business anyway before now butm I took him because of the nature of the pregnancy from first week s for second week I couldn’t do anything again so the business went down and all that
Nobody could manage it for me so now now I have no job apart from these children they are the job I have now so I would like the government to employ me and equally help in other areas like he made mention of where we are staying where we are
Staying to take this children to that place it will not accommodate us my advice to every woman that has no child yet if I tell you it’s an easy thing is not easy because you see others maybe you got married within a within the same year or the same month
Stuffs like that or you see others that get married after uh some years after you have already married see them you go there to even uh appreciate God for what God is doing for them when you come back home you feel depressed because there are things children should do for you it’s not
Everything that you should keep doing after 2 years 3 5 4 years 7 years of marriage you are still alone in the house orless when two of you are together is not easy but one thing I’m saying is they should hold on to God and don’t allow it to weigh you down to
Weigh them down to the extent that even when it comes their body system there’s a way a woman will worry even if the pregnancy wants to come the woman will not be able to carry the baby but if I didn’t know it I was carrying six people
Like that it was good because if I start telling you what some medical personnels told me when they saw my scan that I was carrying five children some of them made some comments that they are not he not supposed to be heard because of what they read or what they
Studied but after all they said my anle was on God I knew that God it was only God that I was holding on because there were so many stories so many NIS some of them making some comments and all that but I head on to God and nobody even
Knew that I was carrying six and on that very day we saw six not even five had even we knew it was six the fear would have been higher thank you very reporting from Nigeria’s state capital saw before jackd top Accolade news [Applause]
