According to her,” My husband is a very loving and caring husband. He worked so hard, selling all that he has laboured for to see that im alive . He has been supportive as he doesnt want me to be stigmatized.
” However, our marriage is without the fruit of the womb , until recently when God answers our prayers. What can I say, I cant blame God, who knows my condition and still bless me with triplets.
” We have nothing to even go to the hospital for the delivery. God in his infinite mercy assisted me to deliver at home without problems. We have nothing to take care of these babies. We call on the government and well meaning Nigerians to help us to cope with the demand of their upkeep.
” We acknowledge the effort of the Deputy Governor of kogi state Hon. Edward Onoja, who visited us. We are soliciting for help from Nigerians so that these babies could be brought up normally .” She pleaded.
