A Nigerian woman who suffered for many years without a child has cried out after giving birth to five babies (quintuplets) and being detained at a hospital.
It was gathered that the woman, Mrs Abigail Musa, delivered five babies after 23 years of barrenness, but has been denied her freedom at the Fertile Ground Hospital, Zaramaganda Road, Jos, Plateau State, over an accumulated hospital bill of N3.7m.
According to a report by Punch, Abigail had been staying in the hospital for the past three and half months when the babies were born.
Also, two of the babies were said to have died.
Her husband, Mr Garba Musa, a pastor with the Church of Christ in Nations, told newsmen on Sunday that efforts to raise the bill and take his wife and the three surviving babies home had been abortive.
He said,
“My wife and the babies were discharged from the hospital about two days ago, but we could not go home due to the hospital bill.
“It’s really a big challenge, which we do not know how to handle because the outstanding money, which the doctor said must be paid before we leave, is N3.7m. This is just too much for us.”
Explaining how the hospital bill accumulated, the cleric said,
“My wife had been at the hospital for three months and three weeks. When she gave birth to the five babies through operation, they were premature, which necessitated that they put them inside incubators.
“My wife was charged N3,000 and each baby consumed N5,000 every day. Almost every two days, tests were run on the babies, which took N3,000. There were other charges also, and that was how the money amounted to such a huge amount.
“Although two of the babies could not make it, we thank God for everything. The hospital management said many people in the past who promised to pay after they were discharged, disappeared without a trace. We need help in our present situation.”
Garba, who described the birth of the babies as a miracle, recalled how people mocked him and his wife for the past 23 years over their bareness.
“At a point, some people advised my wife to divorce me; they also came to me and offered similar advice. It was not easy, but I thank God for my wife because whenever we were tempted to divorce, God gave us the grace to resist it,” he added.

Nigerian Author and former President Goodluck Jonathan’s ex-media aide, Reno Omokri has advised women on how to be prudent with their spending.
He frowned at the idea of a woman having a bone straight hair which is expensive, yet asking for $100 urgently.
According to the author, women should learn not to only focus on their wants and beg people for their needs.
Omokri explained that bone straight hair is a want, so anyone who has such expensive hair and still goes ahead to request for $100 needed on an urgent basis will not get it from him.
”Bone straight hair is a want. You can’t have it and send me a ‘I urgently need $100’ text. Your urgency is self inflicted.
Accommodation, feeding, clothes, are needs. The more you spend on wants, while you have pending needs, the more you sink into poverty,” he tweeted.

Commissioner for Women Affairs in Adamawa State, Lami Ahmed, has blamed the rising cases of rape in Nigeria to the devil.
She made the statement while speaking to The Punch, as she said there is also a breakdown in family values, resulting in higher divorce rates which then exposes children to abuse.
“To me, the reason why the cases of rape are increasing every day is because rape is the handiwork of the devil. There’s a breakdown in family values resulting in a higher rate of divorce.
“Situations such as the separation of the father and mother can sometimes expose the child to abuse either from a family member or neighbours.
“If laws are put in place, they will curtail the incidence. But because there’s no law yet in place, we are confronted with the menace of rape and the sharp rise in gender-based violence,” she said.
The commissioner noted that stigmatisation is a major reason rape victims do not speak up, adding that when rape occurs, the parents of a victim or the victim might fear being identified and stigmatised.

I was a young and naive baby-journalist – 24 at the time. I was eager to please, not knowledgeable enough about the politics of these things and trusted that C wouldn’t use my exceptional skills and dumb me for someone he felt had a more sensational appeal.
“someone who played no extraordinary role to the whole thing. Take out the role I played and it would have fallen flat with no one giving it more than a two-seconds glance.
“God only knows what you did to make him give you such opportunity because I wouldn’t put a sexual relationship out of it, seeing as the cozied-up position I caught you two in at Alliance Francais that day was very suspect.
Anyway, it’s your time, so enjoy. Honestly, my anger is with him not you. He used me, not YOU. If I were in your shoes, I would be an opportunist too.
“So get your bag sis! And I’m sorry for all the heat you got, it wasn’t your fault. We good but if you send me links to any more of your latest works and awards, I go change am for you. Dey your dey and we good! As for the raving dog, ignore. She’ll find her next victim soon.
“So, here’s me chopping my L and moving on, never to speak of it again. If this is how God wants it then so be it.
I rid myself of every hurt, every anger, every bitterness, every pain and opening my arms to receive better and more fulfilling opportunities where I’ll be valued.
“Anyway, seeing as journalism is not really for me, what’s the easiest skill I can learn in tech and how long will it take for me to master it? Or is it rather late for me to switch to tech, seeing as I am not a spring chicken? Smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat. If you can hook me up to where I can learn it or.
“pay for me to learn it (I’m a poor journalist, not ashamed to ask for help), I’ll really like that”.

The man identified as Oluwanishola Akuje Whitehead said his mother visited his home and was to spend some time with him, his wife and their newborn baby.

His post on Facebook reads ;
“Yea! First person you should keep out of your marriage is your mother.
When my wife gave birth. My mother came over to ogbomoso. She was to spend some time with us.
After few days, she saw that I was the one cooking. And she asked at a time if it was okay for me to go cook. I answered of course.
And subsequently, each and every time she needs something to be cooked for her, she would call my wife. I would respond and tell her I will get it done, and so I would do.
All the while, I never knew she was displeased.
I returned home one of the evenings, I was a Corper then. And I met my wife crying.
I asked what happened. She said nothing. I asked her again and again. She kept saying nothing. I asked if anything was wrong with the baby. She said no. The baby was sleeping beside her. I became confused. It resorted that i started begging her to speak. Then she told me my mother had just finished speaking to her. She had told her only a shameless woman would allow her husband cook. I never heard the rest. She tried pulling me back but I was so infuriated.
I called my mom. I told her she leaves first thing the following morning. She was shocked to her bone. She already knew my wife told me what she had said to her. She said my wife is lazy. I said I love it that way. I put a call through to my Dad. I explained to him what had happened. He called her to leave. Then he called my wife too.
Mom didn’t wait for the next day. She left that same day. I told her to pass the night but she didn’t say anything again. She left.
After that night, I didn’t see her, didn’t hear her voice for almost 2 years. I would call, she won’t pick.
So one day, I traveled down and showed up in her place with so many lovelies. I never mentioned what happened, I just greeted her lying flat. My siblings were there. Nothing was said about the past as we make up.
Following, I took my wife and Desire to her. She couldn’t refused them. While I was away for some time, she told my wife. Femi, is so different. (Femi is the name she calls me.) I still don’t know why she said that.
And every of my family members give my wife same respect as they give to me. No way to penetrate into my marriage.
Mom came to stay with us August this year and my wife gave her a delicious meal to eat just once. I cooked every other day. And she would say all the time, her’s is tastier than mine. We would laugh over it.
But the fact is, The point have been made. And the massage passed.
It’s a “No” to Mother or Father who try making decisions for us in our marriage.
This is for both genders.
Either of the two whose parents wants to interfere in the home should stand against it.
Mothers in-law to the wives do this a lot. They want to know everything happening in their son’s home. From when their son sleep with his wife, and to where she goes and what she does. They literally wants to direct every single thing by telling their sons how he should run the home. And you get to see a lot men too following mama’s order. They have no idea of their own. And how on earth will you tell your mother every single thing happening in your home.
If a man is truly responsible and deserving to start a home, he will never allow his mother to have a say in his home no matter who the mother is.
Many beautiful marriages have been cut short because of the inability of the man to stand at the right time and say no to external forces trying to control the home.
The truth is, so many different things work for different homes and it is abnormal to people. But that’s not your problem. It is your duty to say, as long as this keeps my marriage happy and I am happy. I say no to every other person.
If you can do this, your marriage will be enviable.”
Veteran Ghanaian highlife artiste, Obuoba J. A. Adofo, has admitted that he can never forgive himself for bleaching his skin when he was at the peak of his career.
The Ghanaian Veteran said this during a recent interview with Graphic Showbiz.
In his words ;
“You know at that time, bleaching and having permed, curly hair meant a lot to people who thought they had arrived. As a musician at my peak, I wanted to feel that sense of belonging so I bleached my skin.
I thought that that way, people would know that I was a big man, but later I regretted my actions having learnt of the complications of bleaching and the consequences people suffered.
I even found out that it was difficult for surgeries to be performed on bleached skin. Till date, I feel guilty for doing that and really wish I could change the hands of time”.
