Another woman gives birth to quintuplets in Anambra state, cries out to the public for help.

By Ngozi Obileri (ABS Correspondent)

They say that when it rains, it pours. Just like London red buses, you stand at the bus stand waiting forever for one to show up and just when you are getting tired, several show up.

Is our God not a good God? Isn't God just wonderful? This appears to be a season of increase and multiple births in Anambra state, light of the Nation.

Few days ago, Anambra Broadcasting Service (ABS) broke the story of Ogbonnaya and Ifeoma Nwaka and their quintuplets. We had appealed to the public to come to the aid of the Nwakas. The family is appreciative of all the support, love, prayers and cash and material gifts.

We are reporting another case of a woman from Enugu state who also gave birth to quintuplets at God's Grace hospital, Otolo Nnewi, behind Igwe Orizu's palace.

Mrs Helen Odo, aged twenty nine, a native of Nsukka, is married to an Nsukka man, Mr Abuchi Odo. The Odis live at Nnewi Anamnbra State.

Mrs Odo gave birth to the quintuplets on the 25th of July 2018 and has been in the hospital since then as her family has not been able to pay the hospital bills and are also struggling to feed the quintuplets.

Narrating her story, Mrs Odo told ABS corespondent, Ngozi Obileri that the quintuplets are her fifth pregnancy as she first had three normal deliveries of three beautiful girls.

According to her, she was delivered of triplets in her fourth pregnancy (three boys), but lost two of the boys who died some months after delivery, leaving her with a boy.

Continuing, Mrs Odo Said that in a bid to have another male child, she was surprised that what she planned to be her last pregnancy produced quintuplets (four boys and a girl).

She is full of appreciation to God for the gift of the children, but however said her worst fear is losing the children to hunger as according to her, her husband is a Keke driver and his meager income can not sustain the large family.

Mrs Odo is appealing to government, corporate organizations, kind hearted individuals and other members of the society to come to her aid as she is still an apprentice and will find it difficult to feed nine children.

A Nigerian student Anthony Ekwensi who took part in the 17th Chinese Bridge Chinese Language Proficiency Competition for Foreign College Students, has been crowned the African champion.

Though a Russian student Ruslan was the overall winner at the event which paraded 152 students from 118 countries, the 21-year old Anambra-born Nigerian, who came fourth in the final competition, made it to the last round of the championship with four other contestants who were also crowned champion of their respective continents.

The other winners were Theodore Joseph from Australia who came second, Guan Huimin from Indonesia, who took the third position and John Gardner from the United States, who placed fifth.

NAN reported that the grand finale of the competition took place on August 4 in Changsha, Hunan Province. In an interview with the News platform correspondent, the Nigerian student who is a final year student of Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Awka, Anambra State, said he looked forward to returning to China to pursue a post-graduate programme.

‘‘I went into the competition because I knew there was an opportunity to do something great, and also I wanted an opportunity to visit the country I’ve always dreamed of going.

‘‘My next plan now is to graduate successfully from UNIZIK and then come back to China for masters. I dedicate my award to God,’’ the final year student of Education Management and Policy said.

Before the competition, Ekwensi learnt Chinese language in Nigeria for two years at the Confucius Institute, UNIZIK, Awka. According to the organisers, the final competition consisted of three parts and tested the finalists’ language skills and all-around abilities, including their knowledge of Chinese culture, history, traditions and communication, as well as their singing and acting skills. All five winners of the language competition, have been offered full scholarships by the Confucius Institute.
