It's clearly their parents fault. Bad genetics or something...


There is more to the blindness than meets the eyes. Four children from the same parents can't be born blind just like that? Why the eyes? Why not other parts of the body? No no no! Just when I thought I'd seen the worst thing in life and here
we go again with something unimaginable and strange?

Sounds like a genetic disorder or birth defect. Four out of six! Damn!

They probably need to see more equipped and more experienced docs for a thorough diagnosis.

Many Nigerian youths are very hopeless o.

This condition is not inspiring people to think of research into blindness that may be genetically linked, possible infectious or environmental/nutritional causes but rather brings out prejudice, ignorance and superstition in them. And they file into church or mosque and say God pick my call.

No wonder we are way behind others. shocked shocked shocked

A Nigerian man, Paulinus Okpere has called out for help for four children from the same parents born blind in Uromi, Edo state.

According to him, doctors conducted all tests on the children but were unable to diagnose the cause of their blindness, thereby advised them to seek the traditional means.

He said the Children were unable to cope in school as it was not designed for the visually impaired ones.

He wrote:

As promised, I travelled to Uromi this morning to see the children and their parents. I discovered that it was really true that they were born blind. According to the parents, they took the children to Otibhorkhai Hospital and Irrua Specialist where all test were concluded and nothing could be traced to the blindness.

The doctors later gave up on them and told them to resort to divine healing. The children were in Okpujie Primary school but could not cope due to their disability and again the school was not designed for the physically challenged. There are also no single school for the physically challenged in Uromi or environs.

The Children named Mercy 9, Meshach 16, Faith 18 and Grace 22 are the blind out of the six children Mr and Mrs Odion Peter have.

I presented to them the sum of N20,000 for family support and with a promise to come back after good Samaritans must have keyed into the mission to help these children and see that despite their disability, they can be educated and given an equal opportunity with their fellow youngsters out there.

Please feel free to support this heavily burdened family and join the #iCareFoundation mission to bring them succour and help.

When next you visit them, do a bit of investigation. Is it possible the couple are related?

Omo the thing tire me ooo...

It's really sad that the first thing that comes to an average Nigerian's mind when these stories come up is witchcraft.

People are out there conducting medical research, making breakthroughs, discovering cures for diseases, making progress while we are here shouting witchcraft in the god damn 21st century!!

Ebola came and white folks have developed a vaccine for it. (we did not hear anything from our so called miracle workers)

Common paracetamol that most of these folks shouting juju up and down take was developed more than 120 years ago by scientists.

There is nothing supernatural in this...

The woman was using a drug oreaten some things during the first 3 month of theirconception.

Thats why pregnant women should not use any drug or Agbo!

Hmmm... Ever backward Nigeria. We no dey ever do research. Once it is out of the scope of the little knowledge we are too lazy to expand, everyone concludes it's witchcraft.

So many things can interfere with foetal development during pregnancy. Let something like this happen in sane countries, you'd see how they wouldn't rest until they understand it and can confidently say what caused it.

It's a shame even our doctors are mediocres that pretend they fully represent standard medical science. You couldn't diagnose it doesn't mean there is nothing physically wrong or that science doesn't have answers. It just means you don't know enough. No wonder people keep flying out for proper treatment.
Re: Four Children From The Same Parents Are Born Blind In Edo (Photos) by FOLLEY20(m): 7:55pm On May 26, 2017
This is called evil family pattern. It can never be diagnosed medically. Let them be taken to a true gosple church for deep deliverance.

It's really sad. They are showing their ignorance to the world arrogantly. Stupid people. Even the doctors in this report are so stupid. They give rise to such suspicious tales, by saying all tests have been run but they came up with nothing. What we are seeing in Nigeria is when the mentally daft and superstitious give birth to too many children who have Internet access. Low intelligence can also be genetic.

NO ONE HAS STOPPED TO THINK ABOUT THIS BEING GENETIC. RETINOPATHY IS ALSO, GENETIC AND BOTH PARENTS MIGHT HAVE GENES FOR IT.
Re: Four Children From The Same Parents Are Born Blind In Edo (Photos) by Akomah: 9:05pm On May 26, 2017
This is a very pathetic case, but not a hopeless one. With God all things are very very possible because I strongly believe that they are miracles waiting to happen so that God will be mightily glorified. Please their parents should take them to
the great servant of the great and mighty God at Uyo in Akwa Ibom State. They should just have faith. I believe and join my faith with them that when Rev. Dr. Uma Ukpai prays for them,they will receive their sight and God will be glorified in Jesus name. Amen. They should find their way yo Victory Cathedral, Edet Akpan, Way,Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
Re: Four Children From The Same Parents Are Born Blind In Edo (Photos) by Nobody: 9:18pm On May 26, 2017
the brain & mind of an average Nigerian youth is so warped up. This is why church business will continue to reap off you gullible souls

make una sit in front of phone dey type witch up & down. if u still fear witch & believe & blame them for every misfortune & backwardness even in your life without blaming yourself, then you are among all men the most miserable. Embrace Jesus una no gree, embrace Satan you no gree do. How long will you be a bat?

It could be genetic, the mother might have a central disease that demands that the children when born should have their eyes washed with silver nitrate or that go blind
