HealthI Only Told God I Wanted Twins-father Of Abuja Quadruplets by Yeskem(op): 2:14pm On Nov 04, 2018
Mr. Ernest Amodu and his wife Temitope welcomed an all-girl quadruplets on Thursday 25th of October.

Amodu told Frontline News Online that he prayed for a set of twins to join his three year old son, but he is happy to be the father of the babies delivered through a Cesarean section at the National Hospital.

Quadruplets are much rarer than twins or triplets. As of 2007, there were approximately 3500 sets recorded worldwide.

Quadruplet births are becoming increasingly common due to fertility treatments. There are around 70 sets of all-identical quadruplets worldwide.


Amodu quadruplets
But like the news making all-girl Udehi quintuplets, who were also born at the National Hospital Abuja in 2017, the Amodu quadruplets are a surprise package as they were conceived naturally.

The arrival of the quadruplets born pre-term at seven months has completely changed the lives of Ernest a personnel of National Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) stationed in Ondo State and his wife Temitope, who teaches in a private school in Abuja.

Amodu said: “You know it is not easy providing for one child in Nigeria. You can now imagine how tough it is proving for four newborns. Our responsibility has quadrupled with the coming of our babies. I see things becoming even more taxing for us. In fact, the doctors told us that our apartment is not conducive for our newborns.

“We stay in a two- bedroom apartment. It’s not one that I would readily call a two bedroom flat. The doctors advised that the basic we need is an apartment where we have a room for the babies, a room for their stay-in care givers and a room for ourselves. Then I wish we could afford a better car because we are just managing the small one we have. Above all, we are going to get caregivers for the quadruplets and we have to pay them. In any area that good Samaritans can help us, we will be grateful”.

He said: “Women constitute more than 50 percent of voters, and are by experience more dedicated and principled than their male counterparts.



“Politicians rely on women voters because their word is usually their bond. Women stand by candidates they believe in all the way so politicians do a lot to gain their confidence. On this note, let me recall and thank Nigerian women who put their confidence in me and voted for me in 2015. It is my hope that the confidence is still there; seeing this gathering. I am confident that it will remain.



” Nigeria is a country of opportunities and possibilities. It is blessed with productive and skilled manpower, coupled with resources still being harnessed. With the right leadership at all levels, appropriate mindset and strong institutions, we can attain great heights”, he said.

“The communities are just a step away from Lagos State and most inhabitants always feel they should belong to Lagos,” the communique reads.
Listing their grievances, the communities said :”The major link roads in the area are: 1. Egbado Road that runs between Dalemo (Alakuko) bus-stop to Oju-irin Odewale and 2. Rafco (Aboro) Road that runs from MAO filling station via Alakuko Road to Rafco Bus stop by the Railway line.
“The two roads are bad and not motorable making life so difficult for the over two million inhabitants of the area.
“The escape road from Rafco Bus-stop through Odewale Town to Itoki Road has being blocked by the contractor handling the Railway project for the Federal government.

“A proposed flyover to be constructed from Idi-Iroko, Ope-ilu accross the railway line to land on Egbado Road would have been a great succor to the users of the Egbado Road but we were reliably informed that the powers that be have truncated the planned bridge for selfish reasons. Rafco Road is completely impassable for any vehicle, even motorcycle.

“There are no health facilities in the community. “The two health centres in the community are under construction. These are 1. Aboro Health Centre and 2. Adalemo, Aina Adubuleja Health Centre.

CelebritiesWhy I Don’t Joke With ‘sh*ting'-anthony Joshua Nigerian Boxing Champion by Yeskem(op): 1:26pm On Aug 21, 2018
With as much as you eat during camp, do you still follow a similar regimen throughout the year?

Yeah. I take my shit seriously. I don’t eat white rice, cheese, or gluten. Everything I eat flows through my body well, so I keep a good weight. I’m don’t eat spicy foods, or things that make me feel bloated. I’m eating well even when I’m not training.

All of that comes from experience. It doesn’t happen overnight. I’ve always been quite conscious of what I put in my body. Now, there are so many ways to eat healthy: vegetarian, veganism, pescetarianism. Everyone is talking about trends like these, and I’m quite aware of them. By doing my research, I get to see maximum improvements from what I eat.

When you first start fighting, it happens every month or every other month, so you have to stay active. Then, you get to the stage where you’re fighting three times a year, with months off in between. But staying at your fight weight is the only way to be a champion for more than one or two defenses. You have to stay ready.

PoliticsNHIS Executive-secretary Yusuf, Directors Fight Over Allegations Of Fraud by Yeskem(op): 9:24pm On Aug 13, 2018
The crisis rocking the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) seems not have abated , with the Executive Secretary, Prof. Usman Yusuf and the immediate past, Acting Executive Secretary of the agency, Mr. Attahiru Ibrahim, exchanging accusations of fraud.

Yusuf , who was recently reinstated by President Muhammadu Buhari, to the chagrin of unions in the agency had asked the NHIS Governing Council chaired by Dr. Enyatu Ifenne to take disciplinary actions against Ibrahim and three other directors.

The NHIS, Executive-Secretary alleged that the top management officials paid upfront a lawyer they engaged to defend the agency in a case instituted by immediate past E.S of the agency, Femi Thomas, over his removal in April 2015, Premium Times reports.

In December 2017, the National Industrial Court gave judgment in favour of Mr Thomas, ruling that N172.1 million be paid to him as his emoluments for the remaining four years of his tenure.

But Ibrahim as Acting head of NHIS hired a lawyer, Yunus Usman, to appeal the judgment and paid him N44 million as fee. This action has been described as fraudulent by Yusuf, who took the matter to the governing council of the agency, arguing that four directors had acted contrary to procurement laws, paying the lawyer’s fee upfront.

The four directors in response to an Establishment Committee set-up to look into the matter countered Yusuf, saying he has no case and is simply on a witch-hunt.

PoliticsBuhari Administration Most Corrupt In Recent History-rep. T.J Yusuf by Yeskem(op): 10:54pm On Jul 30, 2018
Many believe that the PDP will implode with the number of heavyweights angling for its presidential ticket. How will your party cross this hurdle?

What I know is that once you have the kind of coalition the PDP has gone into, it’s natural to have people with ambition. But people know that the presidency is a seat, not a bench or bed. If it’s a bench, it can take four people. But the president sits on a chair. Can’t you remember the number of people that ran for APC’s presidential ticket? Only one person emerged, for me it’s good for the opposition to have many presidential aspirants. But once one person emerges, I believe all those involved are mature, so they should support him. My position is that all those aspiring for the PDP ticket are much better than what we have now. I therefore will support whoever emerges. What I hate the most is hypocrisy. This government marketed anti-corruption as its main agenda. They told the whole world, they are a purist government. But I have realised this is most corrupt regime we’ve ever had. People should commit themselves to ensuring this common enemy is taken out. Nigerians as a people have never been this divided.

Do you agree with Senator Kwankwaso’s theory that for the PDP to defeat Buhari, its candidate must come from one of the ‘K’ states?

What we need is a candidate, that we all will agree to work for. Buhari wouldn’t have gotten the votes he recorded in the southern states, without the people who worked for him. When you emerge as a party’s candidate, it is not your acceptability alone, that will get to there. When you become the party’s candidate, people will begin to donate their own goodwill. If we get our candidate from one of the ‘k’ states fine! But if we don’t get our candidate from one of the ‘k’ states, Kwankwaso should also donate his goodwill.

With the congresses producing officials picked by Gov. Okorocha, it seems he is poised to deliver his son in-law as governorship candidate. But do you see APC winning Imo, if the governor fields the young man?



I disagree with you that the governor is set to deliver his son in-law. I rather put it this way, that APC in Imo State is set to present Uche Nwosu as candidate for governorship, come 2019. That’s the truth. It is just a coincidence that Uche Nwosu happens to be a son in-law to the governor. The quest for Uche Nwosu didn’t start with Rochas Okorocha. It started from the party. We have 27 LGAs. The last time I checked before the congresses, 24 of our 27 LG party leadership had done rallies in the local government areas, they came to the Government House to tell the governor that it was Uche Nwosu they wanted. So, Uche Nwosu is the choice of the party. And what makes it a lot more appealing is that Uche Nwosu has been embraced by the youths, the younger generation in Imo State. So what we have at hand now in Imo State is that, Uche Nwosu is the choice of the people and Rochas Okorocha had little option but to align himself with the people.

But there again is a controversy on where the first son underwent surgery. Was the minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole being truthful, when he said, Yusuf was only flown to Germany for post-surgery care?



I don’t think there should be doubts on where this young man was treated. Like you said, the minister of Health has come out to say this gentleman was managed in Nigeria. We, through Cedacrest Hospital have also confirmed that we actually operated the young man in Nigeria. So, I can also confirm that we operated on him in Nigeria and he was managed here post-surgery, until he was suitable to fly abroad for rehabilitation.
