A 24-year-old final year student of Forestry at Michael Okpara University of Agriculture (MOUAU), Abia state, Oluomachi Nwoye has given birth to a set of five babies at the Federal Medical Centre Umuahia.
Thelagostimes gathered that the quintuplets comprising two boys and three girls were born on Monday night.
Reacting to the news, Oluomachi’s mother, Priscilla Nwojo said she was overjoyed by the gift of a quintuplet to her daughter.
She however noted that such an uncommon blessing usually comes with its peculiar challenges and therefore, appealed to Government and public-spirited individuals to come to the aid of the family.
The 56-year-old grandmother from Amamba in Abiriba kingdom of Ohafia Local Government Area, who gave her contact as 08035746487, said she was a petty trader while her husband “is a tailor.”
According to the mother of six, her daughter Oluomachi is also a twin.
“I thank God for this special gift. I’m a trader. I deal on pap and my husband is a tailor. We will be happy if Government can come to our help because it’s not easy to take care of one (baby), not to talk of five. But we thank God in everything”, she said.
