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...

Tired of giving!

Oops!it's been rain rain rain in this part of my world for the past one week.At times it can be really annoying,especially when you have planned a fun day and the rains come pouring down making the ground all wet and irritating.If there is anything I love to do,it is shopping.I had planned to go shopping and the rain wouldn't just go away so I threw caution to the wind and grabbed my little umbrella.Out in the rain I went,quickly hailed a cab and zoomed to the market. The entrance to the market was something else.Obviously like me,the rain couldn't deter so many people.People were milling around everywhere,even beggars sat put in their positions begging for alms from all who passed them.One of them particularly caught my attention.Unlike others he was standing,his buttons were all undone and I saw something like a rope connected to his navel,tracing the end,I saw something like a drip or something but some kind of satchet with some content in it in his hand and then there w...

Why do they keep staring?

In these few years God has blessed me with on earth,I have seen so many things:the good,the bad,the ugly.I am so curious about men and their way of thinking.He is driving on the road,he is looking,in the office,he is looking,in the park,he is looking,even in church he is looking...Chei!what is it?.He gladly boasts that every man is wired that way,he couldn't be different. Ladies,have you ever been looked at by a guy so badly that you almost puked?There are those whose stares make you feel like smacking them behind and saying,don't be silly!.There are others whose stares make you feel embarrased and uncomfortable but there are those who make you feel like a queen made to be worshipped.Hahah...yea,I know that feeling...hey,don't worry the feeling is mutual.I like it too.I mean who doesn't want to feel wanted?. However,I am particularly curious about why some men just go bonkers at the sight of a woman.Why his nose will trace a perfume to the owner?Why his mouth will hang ...
