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.

Lion blindsided by crocodile in river escapes

Lions might be the kings of the jungle, but crocodiles rule the river. At least most of the time. That wasn’t the case in a video shared by Kruger Sightings the other day. It shows a young lion crossing a river and getting blindsided by a crocodile. A woman in the background can be heard saying, “Oh my God; oh my God,” just before the inevitable. But it has a happy ending: A happy ending for the lion, that is. The crocodile’s next meal would have to wait. The footage was captured by a tourist while standing on the H10 bridge near the Lower Sabie River in the Kruger National Park in South Africa. “All we can say is, lions should always look both [ways] before crossing the river,” Kruger Sightings said on Facebook

Obasanjo tells youths, Fight for Nigeria’s survival.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has told youths to take up the responsibility and effect the needed change in Nigeria instead of blaming the previous generations for the nation’s decay. The former President said this at the 100th-year anniversary of Ijero Baptist Church in Lagos on Sunday. Obasanjo said the generation before him fought for Nigeria’s independence while his generation fought for Nigeria’s unity during the civil war. He said the subsequent generation also fought for democracy. Obasanjo, therefore, said it was time for the next generation to make its own contribution to national development instead of complaining. He said, “Recently, a son of my friend looked at everything around him and got angry and went to meet his dad who is my age mate. He told his father that our generation is a lost one. The father did not pay him any attention so he came to meet me. “He told me what he told his father and justified it by telling me that he went...

China Ice Festival

The event is recognized as the largest of its kind in the world. The Festival officially lasts for one month, but with winter temperatures in the city averaging a bone-chilling minus 17C, many of the sculptures remain in place for considerably longer than that. The sculptures are formed either from compacted snow, or from blocks of ice which are hauled out of the nearby Songhua River. Purified water is also used, - frozen into blocks of clear ice. Many of the sculptures are illuminated to add another dimension to the displays during the long hours of darkness at this time of the year. The Festival began in 1963 but it was only held sporadically, because of the upheaval during the Cultural Revolution. It became a regular event in 1985. In 2001 the Harbin Ice Festival was merged with the Heilongjiang International Ski Festival, to become the event we know today. In 2007, a sculpture celebrating the work of a revered Canadian doctor, Norman Bethune, was recognised ...

Angelique Kidjo: speaks on state of Africa

And with Africa facing new challenges - from Ebola to extremists opposed to girls' education - she is vocal in her criticism of Western depictions of the continent. "Do you think everybody in Africa has Ebola?" she asks on Talk to Al Jazeera. "We didn't invent Ebola. It's just a disease that exists there. Like, are we going to be blamed for inventing malaria too? If there is an Ebola outbreak in the Western world, will the media in the West treat it the same way?" She also expressed her frustration with the way Western media portray Africa as a continent steeped in violence, victimhood and corruption. "A success story in Africa doesn't interest any media," she says. "They are so eager and hungry for horrible stories from Africa. Why? It looks like the West is the hyena, feeding on the misery of the African people. They should be ashamed doing this." On the topic of terrorism, she is crushing in her criticism ...

If I had wanted to be a member of the party that my family belongs to, I would have done that. In the past 10 years, APC has been very supportive towards my development financially, and also, to my children’s development. Senator Remi Tinubu stood by me and she didn’t even stop helping me. During my album launch, she sent First Lady of Lagos State, Dame Abimbola Fashola to represent her,” she stated.
