Twenty years barren woman welcomes triplets!



Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, his wife, Oluwakemi, and other top government functionaries shed tears of joy on Sunday at the christening of the triplets of the Chairman of the state Asphalt Company, Mr. Niran Jogbodo.
Niran and his wife, Fadekemi, had been married for 20 years without a child.
The guests and members of the Akure District Headquarters of the Foursquare Gospel Church could not hold back tears as they listened to the couple relating how immediate and extended family members put pressure on them.
Niran said despite that, he remained steadfast and vowed never to patronise false prophets and herbalists in their quest to have a child.
He said, “My faith in the Lord became strengthened as the day pass by. Ten years ago, I had a dream that I had a baby who was named Ayomide and when I got to the church the following Sunday, I obtained a tithe card with which I registered in the name.
“I have not defaulted in the payment of the tithe up till today. Also last year, I went to the children hall and I discovered that the structures there and the roof were dilapidated. I was not happy and I promised God that I would intervene.
“I raised some money and informed the church authorities of my intention to renovate the building. I was happy working for God even when I knew that I have no child among the children that would use the hall.
“However, while the work of God was ongoing, my wife was ill and she was diagnosed of a disease that could either lead to death or paralysis. Despite my challenge, I was shuttling between Lagos where she was admitted in a hospital, and Akure to supervise the building project.
“Few months after, my wife was healed miraculously and in a matter of weeks, she became pregnant and when we were expecting a child, to be named Ayomide, God gave us Ayomideji and Ayomiposi.”
His wife was also full of gratitude to the Almighty God who spared her life and also the life of her husband who slumped in the toilet and hit his head against the water closet last year and had to be admitted in the hospital for several weeks.
She also related how the state government gave them about N2m needed to save the lives of their babies shortly after they were delivered.
She said, “We had no money and we needed to save the lives of these children. Somebody spoke to the governor on our behalf and the assistance came sooner than we expected and the triplets are alive today.”
Also in attendance were a former presidential candidate, Chief Olu Falae, members of the state executive council, traditional rulers and top politicians.
The babies, Ayomide, Ayomideji and Ayomiposi, were thereafter dedicated unto the Lord by the church’s District Overseer, Rev. Zaccheus Omotoso.

Reasons for sharing

Knowledge,to me is closely linked to our identity.sharing is generally a willful method of disemminating useful information to other people.By sharing, we build realationships so that what we share is received and treated with respect.Actually,knowledge sharing and relationships are interlinked.It is therefore,imperative that we share love which is the bedrock of any lasting relationship. Why am I sharing anyway? I know you are just wondering why you should bother about sharing anyway,you probably feel you are not loved enough or not loved at all.mhnnn...the question is how much love do you give,how much love can you afford to share? Well,you know what they say,habits die hard...I simply love to share and again I share out of a sense of responsibility for my future...."what you sow is what you reap!".I feel there is a huge gap that needs us to fill it,simply by sharing love. This love could be for that husband who isn't living up to responsibility,that wife who wouldn...

How can we share love in a world void of love?

As each day passes,I see that so many people do not understand what sharing love is all about.Just last night,I saw a man,not a boy.I mean a full fledged man beating up a lady just by the roadside as if she were some common thief.On inquiry,I discovered she was his girlfriend.Did I hear you say,what?!!!.mhnnn...the feeling is mutual,but come to think of it,he may have had a reason which he felt was good enough to beat her up.Someone may say no reason is good enough...chapter closed. I remember sharing with you earlier that every person has a reason for every action he/she takes,wether good or bad.If he had beat her to death,he will still have a reason for his action and he would engage the services of a lawyer who will readily defend him in the court of law.That's the kind of world we live in...simply void of love. You know,on television this morning,I just kept hearing the news on rape.In case you are thinking the victim may have caused it for herself,well sorry to diasppoint ...
