35-year-old Iyabo Oladunni, is a mother of five girls who has now been blessed with a set of quadruplets. She gave birth to the quadruplets at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan. Iyabo, who lives in Ijaye Orile near Ibadan, Oyo State, with her husband, Olayemi Oladunni, is a tailor by profession, while her husband is a welder.
The mother of five girls before the birth of the quadruplets said that her aim and hope of having another baby after the five girls was to have a boy. But to her amazement, God gave her more than she requested and expected.
Moreover, Iyabo Oladunni said that the eldest of the first five girls, who is now 12 years old, lives with her father’s younger brother at Lagos. The second girl, 8-year-old, is presently in Nursery 3 in a school in Ijaye; the third born, a set of twins, are in Nursery 1 and the fifth girl, aged three years has not started schooling.
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 ‘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.
According to the pastor of the Oladunnis, Evangelist Olawumi Abiola of Emmanuel Anglican Church, Ijaye Orile, Akinyele Local Government, Ibadan, “Mrs. Iyabo Oladunni started complaining of stomach pain for a very long time and had used some medications. When she told me that the pain persisted, I persuaded her to undergo a medical test in order to get to the root of the stomach pain.
After the test, she discovered that it was pregnancy and I told her that she should go and register in a hospital outside Ijaye. She obeyed and came to register at Adeoyo State Hospital. I can’t afford to lose her as I lost another member of the church about two years ago.”
Evangelist Abiola also spoke about the committment of the Oladunnis, especially the wife owing to the fact that women are generally committed to the work of God. He also expressed his gratitude to God for keeping the four babies and their mothers alive. “I implore Nigerians to come to our aid, most especially considering the future of these children. The responsibility cannot be carried by an individual more so that the parents live in a village; there is no money in the village.”
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.”

DeleteThey needed a son and God blessed them beyond their widest imaginations. The same God will miraculously provide for them family beyond all expectations.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm. The blessing of God has become something else. People who hv means hv 2 or 3, pple wtout means hv 5 and are saying they are all girls. May God help them wt the 9 they now hv.

ReplyDeleteSure it is a blessing. but wen you cant maintain Gods blessing to U, do you think he will be happy with you? the bible says that a man who cannot take care of his family is worse than a person without faith.Jesus also said "who of YOU that wants to build a tower does not first sit down and calculate the expense, to see if he has enough to complete it?Otherwise, he might lay its foundation but not be able to finish it, and all the onlookers might start to ridicule him"Lk 14:28,29. it is clear that this man could not take care of what he already had. so y give birth to the sixth. .
ReplyDeleteBible says "the blessing of God make rich without adding sorrow" Are we sure the couples did not take some drugs to enhance conception of male child? God must have given them the 'idol' of their hearts seen that they were not contented with five beautiful girls when we have people trusting God for just only one child. Supposed blessing has turned into nightmare.
ReplyDeleteGod will have mercy on them in Jesus name.

ReplyDeleteMy friend come back home o. Na ur boys swim come nack the woman eggs four times
ReplyDeleteIf this is the work of God, It may be hard at the initial time but God will surely take care of them ALL.
ReplyDeleteThe Lord's blessing makes rich and it added no sorrow, He that give the children to them will surely provide what d will use to take care of them.
