The triplets delivered three days ago by Mrs Tatsuma Jubril in Damaturu, Yobe State are in critical conditions.

Mrs Jubril is also iIl, hospital sources said yesterday.

The Maryam Sani Abacha Hospital, where the triplet are, have no functional incubating machine to take care of them.

A nurse, who prefers anonymity, told our correspondent at the hospital that both the mother and the babies are at the mercy of God.

The nurse said: "We do not have an incubator . Though we have one, but it has broken down for quite some time now. There is nothing we can do at the moment. I think the babies are at the mercy of God. If they can be referred to the University Teaching Hospital, Maiduguri, I am sure there will be more hope of survival for the babies.

"The mother as you can see is also in a very critical condition. She is suffering from anaemia (lack of blood). She requires about three pints of blood. I understand the husband and the relatives are looking for people who can donate blood for her."

The nurse, however, added that because of the hot weather, the babies have a chance of surviving since the incubating machine works with heat.

The father of the babies, Bukar Jibril, a farmer, told our correspondent that this was his wife’s third childbirth, lamenting that none of the children lived.

He said the children died either at childbirth or shortly after delivery.

Calls to the Deputy Governor, Danlami Ali, who is also the Commissioner for Health, were not picked. He didn’t reply the text message sent to him either.

Several attempts made by our correspondent to get to him through his press secretary also failed.

This burnt building is not true. Does it mean they have been using unplastered building for this events?

You have never seen fire burn before abi Or fire accident makes things finer than they were?

The buildings are very big and nice at Omole round about, owned by Murhi International. I have been in several time for who wants to be a millionaire audience, its just too nice and spacious a studio.

1. I personally dont care even if the whole world is listening to my Prayer. I have learned over the years that 2. loud prayer is far more effective that quite prayer. I attended a church of so called Sophisticated Folks for many years but things barely improved in my life. It even got to a stage that I thought that prayer does not solve problems. But when 3. I started attending a church were people pray with so much aggression, like deranged people, I was startled by the results my prayers began to yield.

No problem! I figured that when I saw your response!! Fortunately the person, that wrote this is not me! No hard feelings over here!

Ladyjide:
I am here- but have given my self a headache reading some of these post--and had to stop, lol-- I think some of you guys are joking in some responses, and taking it a little too far- Like I stated before,  1. I dont see anything wrong with it as it is tradition, [/b]and if that is what is needed for a few seconds on my wedding day to make my husband happy- then so be,  such a small thing for the man I stood before GOD and said I will be with him for the rest of my life for better or for worse---[b]2. Is it really that serious? but all  the talk of the symbolism  which says that I am below my husband by doing so is craziness---now that isnt going fly,  3. I know my worth as a woman, and demand that respect. I would hope to not marry a man that would even think such talk is ok, and would know that we are partners. 4. Despite him being the head of our household- he is not GOD, nor a slave master but my husband!  He will get the respect he deserves, but I also command such respect myself as a woman and his wife! 5. I would want my husband to get down on one knee and propose- as that is what would make me happy, and 6. the man that I will marry would hopefully not think twice about such a small gesture for the one he loves---A little goes a long way,   I am going to go back and read the post!!

LADYJIDE! good you replied, I love your courage  read the boldened parts one by one.
1. If you didnt see anything wrong in it, why were you so nervous about it before and on that day?
2. It may be that serious and even if it is not, I (and many of us) have seen few ladies who didnt kneel on their day but it never made NEWS on any media cos pple tend to overlook some things but you are actually making NEWS out of your arrogance  by coming here to announce it much so that you have been married for some time now but your conscience still wouldnt rest. Your legs wouldnt have been amputated for a 3-sec kneel afterall and wouldnt have changed your name or look. Before the advent of cakes, women used to kneel to feed husbands with palm wine, kolanut etc.

3. What is your worth? A billion dollars or pounds? Going by worth, I doubt if you are and can ever be as ambitious and independent as I am but I am trying to put so many things in place so that I can have a good home (not a demi-god as husband or slave-master but a friend and supporter of our goals) and still achieve all I have ahead of me cos imitating a white woman will only make me end like her (they change husbands like cloths and are never at peace all in the name of equality).

4. Yes! he is not God. But 3-5 secs kneel (just to feed cake) will not make him God either afterall you have knelt for someone b4 (parents, granny or aunts), are they your God? You can as well have waived your traditional wedding instead of being nervous and planning it ahead. He prostrated for your parents and other members of your families, Are They His God? Just tradition but still doesnt matter whether you did it or not but you came to announce it.
5. After he had prostrated for your parents and other members of your families shouldnt you have derived the happiness frm that?
6. Just as it is a small gesture to you so it is to him.

Sometimes, we women create issues and headaches for ourselves just becos we think we are civilised and widely read now. That is why I still doubt if I can ever join any women equality or women rights group cos someday, they will protest caring pregnancy alone and need men to carry it too. They will protest why husbands have to ask for sex and demand law on how many times a man should demand it in a week. Some of them are divorcees, some are single mothers while some married ones have homes already hotter than hell and they are looking for pple who will be like them. They will make issue out of no issue.
Instead of channeling their energy towards protesting the rate of women dieing during child birth - we loose more than 100 daily in Nigeria (and other women related ailments) and ensure success is achieved, they will just be looking for pieces out of peace .

LADYJIDE, is your husband aware of all of these? Pls show him this post so that he can be proud of you Be careful in washing your dirty linen in public cos you will end up creating a wrong impressn of yourself.

LADYJIDE! LADYJIDE!! WHERE ARE YOU? Read THESE and you will be free from all your worries and at last you will experience peace for the first time

youngies:
TRUCE People!!!

1. Women stop the symbolic kneeling down for 1 minute to feed your husbands during marriage celebrations - You are equals

2. Men stop laying on top of your wives, with her legs spread wide and raised high during s.ex few hours after the same marriage celebration - It is slavery
3. Women you must stop kneeling on all fours, while your husbands gives to you from behind - It is barbaric

Guess everyone is happy now? Peace. 

dayokanu:
Slyfoxxjoe,
What do you think about a man kneeling to propose? Isnt that demeaning and taking him below his fellow human being?

dayokanu:
Also I have seen a man carrying his bride on their wedding date isnt that too barbaric? Is the man a donkey or a cart? Why should he be carrying another human being?

mojounited:
^^^@ Chiddysville, permit me to modify your post above. I believe those objecting to simple traditional norms and cultures should forget about traditional marriage and stick to court marriage and/or white wedding/marriage blessing in churches, only.

oludashmi:
@poster and her likes
Back in the days when women used to respect their husbands whether kneel or not, there was nothing like divorce but nowadays that we claim to be civilized, even a pastor wants to divorce his wife not to talk of ordinary church members who wished they never married and want to quit the relationship after 2 WEEKS of marriage, Abah!

NOTE!
Your so called civilization is incomplete until
1. You start calling your dad and mum by their first names
2. You (compulsorily) instruct your children to call you and your husband by their your first names
3. Call your father and mother in-laws by their first names
4. Call even elders to your spouses by their first names
5. Call other members of your spouses family and extended families (even those older than your parent in-laws) by their first names
6. PERMIT your children to talk to you and say dad or mum "ARE YOU silly OR ARE YOU GOING CRAZY THIS DAYS?", then you simply answer the child "NO SON, I AM NOT silly"
7. Your children replies you whenever you abuse them like (you are not serious and your child replies something must be wrong with you mum)
8. Your children reports you to the police for not buying them bikes (which policeman in naija will wait to slap to slap the child?)
9. You slap your husband and he rubs his cheeks and say thanks then walk away
10. Divorce your husband and get a 50/50 share of his properties in Africa or Naija

The points are endless. Until you do all of these, you have no say at all (and you are a hypocrite) cos you cant do some parts of your culture and do some parts of the whites'. You will rather belong to one. Or have you seen a white man who want to behave like you and still maintain his culture? No! White men are no hypocrites

CASE CLOSED! CASE CLOSED!!!

neelin or no neeling down, respect is of the mind, not a showy display of wat one cannot do at home after wedding.

slyfoxxjoe:
ok, dont accept western civilization na! u can also like to go back to worshiping sango and other sill gods like your traditionist and rot in hell fire for eternity. u can also like to stop speaking the white mans language (english) and never get a good job and die in poverty. u can also go back to eating kola nut all your life and stop driving the cars, flying the planes and using all other technologies they invented. kmt see who is calling me foolish

What a fool!!
What has kneeling got to do with gods or idols and surprisingly you believe in hell fire while you forget that even Jesus never disobeyed the law of any land during his ministry. Oh! I have measured your mentality, speak english, get a white collar job and be sacked then come back home with nothing to fall back on and start crying, Eating kolanut has nothing to do with education, people still eat it till tomorrow cos its natural herbs.

Havent you been told how people used to trade their stocks, leave a couple of stones or sticks to signify the cost of the product and the seller goes else where but whne he comes back, his products would have been sold and money completely there without a police until the white men came to take our uncherished cultural heritages and left us with what we cant manage.

All the same, civilization is not bad but it shouldnt derive you of your culture cos the white men who brought civilization actually defends their culture!! There is no land without a culture or tradition, it is the culture of the white men to shake and that is what they do.
