A 30-year-old woman, Zainab Abu of Makwalla community in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State has made news headlines after she gave birth to a set of quadruplets in the village without going for any antenatal care or medical check-up.

According to the woman, who is already a mother of 12, lack of facilities and the distance barrier coupled with inadequate transportation facilities in the village culminated to her inability to attend hospital throughout her pregnancy period.

She said, “l have been giving birth to multiple number of twins in the village without going for any medical diagnosis, or see a doctor. This time around wasn’t an exception when l gave birth to these children without attending any hospital because of the challenges we are going through in the village.”

Zainab further confessed that throughout her life as a housewife, she has never attended any antenatal or has been counseled on child spacing due to the distance of their village to any available medical centre nearest to their residence.

She explained that she has been giving birth to multiple of twins, stressing that this is the first time she has given birth to quadruplets.

Zainab explained, “I have gone through serious pains, stress, and indeed it’s not really easy giving birth to four kids at a time in the village without any modern medical support. I thank God for helping me to have given birth to these children safely.

“I always used traditional medicine and other drugs from local drugs vendors in the village whenever l felt pains in my body.

“I also chose to give birth in the village for fear of using the canoe to cross the river and thereafter use motorcycle for a long distance before getting any modern medical facility. The pain involved and the fear of the unknown always make some of us in the village to take the risk of giving birth in the village.”

A 52-year-old man identified as Robert Lee Noye has been arrested by the police in Cedar Rapids, Iowa after reportedly kidnapping a woman he accused of being a “racist” and forcing her to watch “Roots” (a 9-hour miniseries on slavery).

They think I’m not balling because I don’t post designer labels, holiday trips – Rita Dominic

Popular Actress, Rita Dominic has a word or two for all those who think she’s not balling because she doesn’t post about designer labels and holiday trips on her social media pages.

In a post on her Instastories, the actress wondered when social media became the yardstick for determining who is wealthy and who is not.

According to the screen diva, expecting someone to post a materialistic lifestyle on social media before concluding that the person is doing well in life is simply a poverty mentality.

Her post reads ;

So social media has now become the yardstick to measure wealth ? LOL.

Some people think cos you don’t post certain things like Designer Labels, Holidays, how much you have ETC on yor page means you are not balling ?

Wow!! Poverty Mentality much.

Happiness or in your words balling means different things to different people.

This life isn’t that serious, be happy you are alive and healthy and foremost

An orchestra violinist who recently underwent an operation to remove a brain tumor had to play her instrument to ensure surgeons did not damage the part which controls the movement of her hands.

Dagmar Turner, a 53-year-old management consultant and passionate violinist from the Isle of Wight, had a tumour removed at King’s College Hospital, according to Sky News.

Professor Keyoumars Ashkan, a consultant neurosurgeon at the hospital, said: “This was the first time I’ve had a patient play an instrument,” he said.

“We managed to remove over 90% of the tumour, including all the areas suspicious of aggressive activity, while retaining full function in her left hand.”
