Children are the heritage of God and blessed is the man that his quiver is full of them," says the Holy book, but not in the situation of 35-year-old Iyabo Oladunni, a mother of five girls who was blessed with a set of quadruplets at 5:14pm on Friday 24, 2012 at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan . Iyabo and her husband,Olayemi, live in Ijaye Orile near Ibadan, Oyo State.
When asked how she feels about the birth of the babies, Iyabo said "I have mixed feelings about their deliveries. I'm partly happy and partly sad. I'm happy because I have a male which is my desire among the four children, and sad because I don't
have the wherewithal to take care of them in a rented room where we live. "
According to Iyabo, although the couple were both desirous to have a male child, it was amazing that her husband and the father of the quadruplets, Olayemi, took to his heels immediately he had an inkling a day to his wife's delivery.
Recounting her husband 's reaction when he heard she was carrying four babies in her womb, Iyabo said "after a scan was carried out in the month of March this year, and it showed there were four babies in my womb, I was afraid and started crying.
But the doctor who did the ultrasound test encouraged me to pray to God for assistance instead of weeping. The man also told me that God, who put them there, will definitely take care of them. When I got home after the scan, I told my husband about it and he kept asking me "Ibo ni mo fe ko merin wo (where do I take the four babies to)?" She, however, pleaded with her husband wherever he is that he should return home so that they can jointly take care of the babies, even as she called on the Oyo State governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, to come to the aid of the babies in whatever ways he deems fit. She also appealed to Nigerians generally to come to her rescue.
Also speaking, the mother-in-law, Madam Moyiola Oladunni, said, "I'm very happy for this miraculous work of God. When God gives me this blessing, I can't question him, but my major concern is how to take care of these blessings because it's not a one-man responsibility."
She said that the father of the quadruplets is her second child. She disclosed that his son told her about his desire to have a son, and that his wife was pregnant.
"I did' not pass any comment because I'm not living with them. So, much later after the scan was done and he knew that his wife as carrying four babies, I warned them against abortion."
Olayemi's mother opined that her son ran away because he was afraid. When asked whether she knows about her son's whereabouts, she said, "no" and that her earnest prayer is that God will lead him back home.
Bro, pls comeback home & stop running away from your blessing
