Woman Delivers Baby Boy After 5-Year Pregnancy


An Abuja-based woman who was barren
for 27 years has delivered a baby boy
after five years of pregnant in a church
in Lagos State Western Nigeria.
The woman, Adenike Kolawole
delivered on Sunday 26/10/14 at Evangelical
Church of Cherubim and Seraphim
located at Pipeline Road, Mafon area,
Ejigbo, Lagos during church service.
Kolawole who is married to Kayode said
her problem started after she had a
miscarriage. She said she has been
looking for the fruit of womb since then.
She said she had sought both medical
and spiritual help before she noticed that
she was pregnant. But at the same time
she was observing her normal mensural
circles.
She said she waited endlessly to deliver
but all that expectations was to no avail.
This prompted her to relocate to Lagos.
She said the search for spiritual solution
brought her to the church where she
eventually delivered the baby.
She said those years were traumatic
because her husband was under
intensive pressure to send her away. “I
was rejected by my relations, my
husband’s family who did not give me
the chance of bearing a child. My only
consolation was my faith in God,” she
narrated.
  On how it happened, she explained that
she was at the church service when she
noticed that water was coming from her
private part and she went to a room to
check what was happening before she
knew it, the baby came out alive.
She said she raised alarm which
attracted church members who assisted
her to deliver the baby. The news of the
deliverance attracted residents who
trooped to the church in droves to see
the woman and the new born baby.
When our reporter visited the church on
Tuesday, residents were still visiting the
church to congratulate the woman and
her husband, Kayode who expressed
shock on what happened.
Kayode said he did not believe his wife
over the years when she claimed to be
pregnant because he had waited in vain.
He said he was grateful to God for what
he had done and thanked the well
wishers for their support.
The prophet of the church, Yinka
Olawale said when the woman came
from Abuja, he noticed that she was
pregnant and at the same time was
having her monthly mensural circle.
He said he embarked on prayer and also
used anointing oil and holy water with
faith. He said the first sign they observed
was that the circle stop and she delivered
on Sunday.
He thanked God on what happened and
said it has strengthened his faith in God.

boys buried in snow pile heard rescuers calling

NEWBURGH, N.Y. (AP) — Two boys trapped in a snow pile for about seven hours after a plow buried them could hear their worried family's cries but couldn't respond loudly enough to be heard, they said Friday. Police credited an air pocket with saving their lives. The two cousins, 11-year-old Elijah Martinez and 9-year-old Jason Rivera, were building a snow fort Wednesday night across the street from Elijah's apartment in Newburgh when a plow operator clearing a parking lot unknowingly pushed snow over them. Buried in about 5 feet of snow, they could barely move and couldn't breathe very well, so they could do nothing as they heard the anguished cries nearby. Jason lost his gloves. His hat flew off. They relied on each other to stay alive, they said, sharing Elijah's face mask to try and keep their hands warm and talking to each other so they wouldn't fall asleep. "I felt so tired.

Ebiripo: one of the best Ijebu Food

In spite of the fact that most of the Ijebu foods are tuber-related such as Ikokore, Ojojo, Ebiripo etc, the process of cooking these tuber varieties with special sauces makes them nutritionally rich and appropriate for all occasions. Ebiripo is a typical Ijebu cocoyam meal that can be cooked in various ways and spiced up to make a balanced diet. Cocoyam is purely carbohydrates and poor in other nutrients but many have now found ways to make the roots nutritious by adding soya beans while making Ebiripo. According to a study by Sowonola O. A. Et al, from the Federal College of Agriculture, Moor Plantation, Ibadan, Oyo State, “The combination of cocoyam and soyabeans in the processing of Ebiripo will bring about nutrient complement ability”. They submitted in their findings that Ebiripo fortified with 40% soya flour was significantly 28% higher in protein and 8.4% higher in fat than the other Ebiripo samples.
