A Nigerian philanthropist, Dr Betta Edu has revealed how a woman was
visibly unhappy after giving birth to a set of triplets in Cross River
state.
Dr. Edu who was on an outreach in the community yesterday –
disclosed that the mother of triplets was afraid and unhappy after
giving birth due to lack of funds to take care of the babies. She also
said to the philanthropist “please take my babies out of here because
they will eat them”…
Read what Dr Edu shared on her social media page yesterday;
I love to go into the communities and follow my passion. However this comes with a lot of heart breaks and emotional baggage.
Today
was not different, while on community outreach to Osakam community in
Ofumbongha/Yala Ward Obubra LGA, Mrs. Charity Eyam Ogobi delivered
triplets(3boys) at our health post. The entire village was jubilating
because it has never happened there before. The gathered the window like
bees trying to get a glimpse of the three boys sent from above.
However
the mother of the triplets was very afraid and didn’t look happy. I
asked her quietly what her concerns were and she said “please take my
babies out of here because they will eat them, I can see them every
where here…. They will eat them” (did I believe that… Hell NO! )
I obliged her and took both parents with the babies to the
comprehensive PHC Obubra. Of course she was worried about their welfare
and in the spirit of AYADE CARE I have decided to add them to the
battalion I cater for every day.
Another sorry sight that
has led to my loss of appetite and sleep this night was a severely
malnourished child who was eating white yam that had sand rubbed all
over…. Poverty is real… It’s deep. Well to cut long story short…
He too got on the list of those whom I share my daily pay with. Someone
out there is in need of the little help you can offer, don’t keep them
waiting forever!
I may not change the world but let me save one life at a time!!!! OBUBRA SAMO!
