Mr. Kunle Adesanya, the father of quadruplets who were born at the Emure General Hospital in the Emure Local Government Area of Ekiti State last Monday, has fled from home. The mother and the children are at the State Specialist Hospital, Ado-Ekiti. They were reportedly relocated to the hospital after birth.


Mrs. Funke Adesanya, 24, delivered a set of four baby girls as the first children of the family at the general hospital.

To ensure adequate care, one Mrs. Cecilia Ogundare, funded the transfer of the babies and their mother to the specialist hospital.

It was learnt that Adesanya, a school certificate holder, on learning that his wife had delivered the quadruplets, went into hiding.

The children have since been kept in the incubator at the intensive care unit of the hospital while scores of people thronged the place to see the babies.

Speaking on the condition of the babies and their mother, the Chief Medical Director (CMD), Dr. Patrick Adegun, described the babies as a “wonderful set” of quadruplets. Adegun said the children and their mother were in good condition.

The wife of the state governor, Mrs. Olukemi Oni, during her visit, appealed to the father of the quadruplets to come out of hiding to take care of the babies. Oni had during the visit donated money for the upkeep of the children and described them as God’s gifts.

“I want to appeal to the father of the quadruplets to please come out from hiding and not to abandon these babies here.

“I want him to appreciate that some people are outside there looking for children,” she said

The mother of the babies, who is also a school certificate holder, pleaded with the government to provide jobs for her and the fleeing father to take care of the babies.

Will you blame him? Things are very difficult in Nigeria and there is no welfare system to help subpar families get through a situation like this. God help Nigerians.

. . . .and he had 9 full months to prepare
For How long wud he continue to run?he better come back and if nothing sef,give the wife emotional support and the kids fatherly love,those things money cant buy.No bi 9ja?,somehow help go come

sadly this is a common story.
Some even run away for twins esp if they've had other kids
Poor woman married to a fellow woman

Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . . . . . .his whole life flashed before him when they informed him. . . , .

mmmmmmm God help this brother. someone should skip party and help this man

why is it that only poor people give birth to 3plet and quadruplet? the man should better come home and face his responsibility

Ogaracha must come back

There is a similar case in Lagos on Abeokuta expressway. If you drive along that road in the mornings you would have noticed a woman with quadruplets. I dont know where the husband is but I believe she is in a similar situation.

tell me about it. why cant people like that help somebody like this? we never used to be this bad as a people that we can see innocent babies and turn our eyes away

this is bad of him because now is when she needs his help and support most. alot of people are looking for just one and when God gave him 4 at onces and he dont appreciate it.

How sad.
I dnt blame the man. I mean, they won't let him take his wife out of the hospital without hospital payment.
At the same time, he's being selfish for not attending to his his wife/children.

Not sth new in Nigeria sha.

owo food ti won

Lol.

men of little mind with large appetite

GOD help us all

tpia:

The man showed up and returned home. He said he panicked and lost his head when he heard the news because he didnt know how they'd cope with the babies. The update was in one of the dailies.

tough state of affairs but at least he's facing his responsibilities now.

Why chickening out in the first place??

.

Poor Woman!!

In a situation like this, What do you expect the man to do? Get the babies home and feed them + the mother with sand, cloth them with grass or what? What he did to me is a sign that he is not ready for them all, too bad!

I guess the shock of suddenly being landed with 6 mouths to feed, after being used to 2, was too much.

Hopefully, after the initial shock has worn off, he may return to his senses, and come home.
