A 40-year-old farmer, Biodun Akapo, a resident of Afojupa Village,a suburb of Owode-Egba Town of Ogun State, is on the run because his wife bore triplets.



The mother delivered the babies on July 24 at Ore-Ofe Maternity Home in the town. She was only able to pay the hospital bill with the intervention of the traditional ruler of the town, Kolawole Sowemimo.

The father of the babies, who was not available as at the time of the delivery, absconded when news filtered to him about the delivery. He is yet to appear as at the time of this report.

Narrating the story, the 30-year-old house wife, Bose Akapo, who already has two children aged 5 and 8, said her husband was not at home when labour commenced. She explained that she was assisted to the hospital on a motorcycle by a neighbour.

She said she never envisaged that there were three babies in her womb.

"I was taken to hospital on a motorcycle by a neighbour when I started noticing signs of delivery, because my husband was not at home then. But surprisingly, I gave birth to triplets and when the news got to my husband he failed to show up till date," she said.

The mother said she had to contact the traditional ruler of Owode-Egba, who rendered assistance in providing clothing and other medical materials for the babies.

She lamented that her husband, on hearing the news about the delivery of the triplets, absconded and has since remained incommunicado.

The housewife, an Ibadan indigene like her husband, said they have been living together as a happy couple in the village for over ten years. She pleaded with her husband to return home.

"I don't even know his whereabout till now, but am begging him to come home for the sake of these innocent babies," Mrs. Akapo said.

She also used the opportunity to appeal to government, individuals, and groups to come to the family's aid for the welfare of the kids, just as she sought for employment to alleviate the family's financial plight.

The woman and the triplets are in stable health condition and have been discharged from hospital.

Speaking on the development, the traditional ruler thanked God for the safe delivery, and also called for assistance from government and other Nigerians for the upkeep of the kids.

Mr. Sowemimo expressed optimism that the state government would attend to the needs of the family based on the administration's known concern to the welfare of the citizens and residents.

Presently I'm in yankee and I have just one toddler. My wife rolls with Nigerian people over here and most of them are silly Igbo people (I am Igbo and she is too) who talk big and act little and have many kids. Because of this influence, she wants to have more children

Me wey still dey hustle and school at the same time, and the one pikin wey we get don dey shorten our ration, so na me go carry my unprotected d!!ck come put inside her unprotected puna

That ain't gonna happen anytime soon.

Everytime I withdraw or use condom na so she go dey vex.

I am not yet financially ready for another child hence I AM USING PROTECTION TILL FURTHER NOTICE!!!!!!!!!



I AM WRITING THIS BECAUSE MANY OF US HERE FVCK IRRESPONSIBLY!!!! SOJI YOUR LIFE OO!!

FVCK RESPONSIBLY AND PLAN YOUR FAMILY ACCORDINGLY!!!

Efemena_xy: Annoying story.

What is it with people living on the breadline, (barely able to eke a living for themselves, let alone support a family) producing like rabbits??

While he and his wife were busy humping themselves silly without protection or contraceptives, dem no remember to call on government, state, and well-meaning Nigerians??

Anyway, I don't believe they didn't know they were expecting triplets.

I think what really happened here was that she / they both went for the scan, were told they were expecting triplets and then the husband decided to 'mysteriously' disappear. A well calculated move on his part, knowing that they'll get more charitable responses if the woman is portrayed as an abandoned housewife with no means of income, left to cater for 5 kids...than him being in the picture.

Government aid ke, individual / group help ni...they better place their sights higher and appeal for international intervention.

chymystique: Did I hear Mrs Akapo .... "Akapo" means DWARF oo..

bootlegaz:
