Emeka Benjamin Uche, a Lagos factory worker has reportedly ran away from home
after he found out that his wife, Ruth, was pregnant with their third set of
twins. The third set of twins arrived last month. They were named Daniel and
Daniella.
THE NATION reports that Mrs Uche was at the Lagos State Secretariat, Alausa
yesterday with her six children, pleading for help. Telling newsmen her story,
she said, ''I met my husband in 2002 but we got married in 2008. We met in the
village at Umuahia. I don’t want to leave the children and run away. This is
why I want government to help us''.
She recalled that she never wanted the third pregnancy, but her use of
traditional means of family planning (counting fertile and infertile days)
failed her.
''I was using traditional way of family planning where I calculate some days
before having intercourse. It was working for me. You can see my first set of
twins is four years old. You know as women, we cannot deny our husband that
thing whenever they request for it. Whenever I mistakenly take in, he would
say that I was pretending. Sometimes, I would go through long process to abort
the pregnancy. After that, another one would happen. I would still have to go
through the process again to abort it. When this one happened he still
insisted that I was pretending until the pregnancy became obvious.
''My Church was responsible for the payment of the first delivery. The church
paid N120, 000 for the delivery of the first set of twins. The two deliveries
of the twins have been through Caesarean Section for which we paid N120, 000
each. The last twins are through normal delivery.
''Since I gave birth to the children, I have tried calling my husband but he
would not pick once he knows that it is me. I contacted his mother and other
relatives to tell them that he has run away. They promised that they will call
back. Since then, none of them has called me. It is not easy for me at all. I
know only two of his relations. One of them lives in Ikorodu; the other one
lives at Ajegunle. My elder brother, who could have also helped, is very angry
with me for giving birth to another set of twins. He warned me before not to
have any other child after the two sets of twins, especially with the kind of
husband I have.
''I cannot put my hands in blood shedding by committing abortion. I want
Nigerians to help me because there is nobody to pay their school fees. I went
for immunization some days ago and I told them my condition and why they have
not been seeing me. It was there that they advised that I should come to
government. Government should please help my children; no one to help me with
house rent, electricity bill, school fees, food and so on.
