'My husband abandoned my daughters and me because we have blue eyes' -Mum of viral Kwara girl with blue eyes narrates ordeal

A woman whose husband abandoned her and their kids because they have blue eyes has narrated her ordeal.

A student of the University of Osun, who travelled to Ilorin for the Sallah festivities, brought the family's plight to the limelight after she shared their photos on Facebook. Alabi Afusat explained that she met a family who is naturally blue-eyed and their eye colour made their father abandon them.

The family's story went viral and the mum of the blue-eyed girls, Risikat Azeez-Ayegbami - who is also blue-eyed - shared her story.

Risikat, a mum-of-two from Kwara State, told Punch that she was born with naturally blue eyes. She explained that since it was unusual, her parents took her to the General Hospital where a series of tests were done and it was revealed that her eyes are perfect.

She explained that as she grew older, concerned people kept commenting on her eyes and advising her parents to take her for a medical checkup.

While in primary school, she said her teachers invited her parents and asked them to take her to the hospital to check her eyes. She explained that when her parents took her to the hospital again, the doctors did tests again and told her that there is nothing wrong with her eyes and they are just naturally blue like that of a Caucasian.

She added that the doctors gave her lots of gifts and told her that they love her eyes.

"I can see clearly and there's nothing wrong with my eyes," she said.

A relative also explained how Risikat used to be invited to the General Hospital when she was a child just because they were fascinated by her eyes. The relative added that the General Hospital used to "compensate" Risikat for honouring their visit.

Risikat grew older and got married. She gave birth to three girls and all of them inherited her eye colour.

However, she explained that her husband, Abdulwasiu Omo Dada, had a problem with it and abandoned them as a result.

She said he loved her with her eyes at first but after she had their first child and she was born with the same eyes, their relationship changed and it became hard to have a conversation with her husband. It got worse when she had her younger daughter.

"When I had the first baby, it became difficult to have a conversation with him. Till I left with the children, we didn't have a conversation.

"Whenever I attempt to have a conversation with him, he would get angry and walk out on me."

She said that when she got pregnant with her second daughter, things were so hard for them that they couldn't afford food or medical care. She began going to her parents' home to eat and when it was time to have her child, her parents paid her hospital bills.

The second baby came out with blue eyes too and at this point, her husband's behaviour worsened. To make matters worse, his parents also expressed their displeasure with the eyes of his children.

Risikat said: "Even his parents were asking him if he was going to keep having children with blue eyes."

She said her husband began leaving home for days on end. Sometimes, he will be away for a whole week and wouldn't leave money for his family.

She said she began eating at her parents' home again. After the child's christening, she said her parents asked her to leave her husband.

She said that since she left, her husband has not shown up to ask after her or their kids.

Biko let them pray hopefully one day they would have a change of heart. I guess they are trying to pass a message to Prof Zulum with this camos

tsephanyah:
Governors are the most dangerous creatures in Nigeria
Education is essential
Governors are not

SmartProf:
Very sad...if you check properly he is not even a COREN certified engineer nor registered with the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE). He may just be an apprentice who the whole street call Engineer just because he uses reflective jackets and helmet. His so called engineering is to drill forcefully into young women. Crime has no tribal face, it's a character associated anomaly. If found guilty I hope he is dealt with using the North Korean template.

Honestly, I still don't understand this idea of school feeding while schools were closed.

Pastor Nduka Anyanwu.

From the name, I think he is either afonja or a fulani herdsman.

Igbo amaka.

Simplyleo:
His head is very flat though.

I checked everything except that

You can try, but I'd be very surprised if you're not told you bought as seen. One bright side of this though, is your friend got the better machine. It would have been awkward the other way round.

Oh! The "Alfa" bit? Irrelevant. Unless the transaction was in a mosque.

Simplyleo:
I don't understand.

Pdpeegs petitions its flagbearer?

Well, a dog that refuse to listen to the hunters whistle is doomed.

When ipob lunatics were cheering Obaseki, I already knew Obaseki will not win. But I still don't understand why Obaseki couldn't see this bold writing on the board.

As a politician vying for an elective office, the first step to take is to try by any means to ensure ipob miscreants are not by your side, otherwise, you are doomed.

A good example is the likes of Athifku, sani shehu, dino melaye, saraki among others.

Not really about generosity na.

Na as e take happen I talk am.

All the same, I really like that post, honestly. Thank you so much.

Comments like this are what attracted me to nairaland. The likes of modath, hungerbad (of blessed memory), Mbbq, and recently, NwaAmaikpe and a host of well educated nairalanders. As for NwaAmaikpe, I may not agree with his idea, but I know he is intelligent. But now na just akamu full nairaland, just few intelligent folks are still available and they rarely make comments.
