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.

The Empowered woman

I think being a woman,I mean a real woman is one of the hardest things ever!. You won't agree with this only if you are not a woman,but if you are a woman,then congratulations to you.You are a mysterious being but then again this congratulation goes to the 'real woman'. The real woman is that person that makes everything difficult seem easy.She is a hard worker,faithful friend and partner,a good manager,a home maker,a lover,a confidant,a mother,a sister,a daughter,a visioneer...Someone,may say,"Yea, ok...I'm not a mother or I'm single and so does that make me not a real woman?Of course not!. Age,class,status,beauty or achievements do not define a real woman,but character does. I can't but wonder at the stories we hear these days about women.I marvel at the rate of evil perpetuated by women in our society.Prostitution is old wives tale but when women are involved in armed robbery,kidnappings,terrorism,gang rape,adultery,fraud to mention a few,then by a...

The Career Woman

I stumbled upon this beautiful article on IFP while researching on other stuff and thought to share it. It's a 4 minutes read. I totally agree with it. Gender equality seems to be the one issue that isn't going away. Many of us like to believe sexism is something that only plagued the workplaces of yesteryear, but unfortunately it still exists. Don't believe us? Well, in 2016 just 57% of the world's  working-age women  were in employment, compared to 70% of their male counterparts. And even the females who were in work were struggling to catch up with the men. Women with  full-time jobs  still earn only about 77% of their male counterparts' earnings. Of course, the issue is complex and many expect that because most countries have made it illegal to pay women less than men, that gender inequality has fixed itself. However, problems surrounding  unconscious bias , parental leave, and outdated stereotypes about gender roles persist in the workplace. But what are th...

Domestic Voilence in Nigeria heightens in the face of economic hardship-majority of victims are women!

A recent Public Opinion poll conducted by NOIPolls Limited in partnership with Project Alert on domestic violence has revealed an increasing prevalence of domestic violence across Nigeria in recent times as reported by about 8 in 10 (78 percent) respondents. This prevalence is highest in the South-West geo-political zone (86 percent) and lowest in the South-South zone (70 percent). More findings revealed that 54 percent of Nigerians have suffered a form of domestic violence or know someone that has experienced domestic violence in their homes with majority of the victims being women as stated by 75 percent of respondents. Just this week, a man in Aba Abia state allegedly beat his wife into coma for lying to him that she has not been paid her salary after commissioner for finance Obinna Oriaku mis-informed the Abia public on radio that civil servants salary arrears have been paid.
