A 24-year-old final year student, Oluomachi Nwoye, has made history by delivering quintuplets at the Federal Medical Centre Umuahia in Abia State, Nigeria.
The young mother, who is studying at the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture (MOUAU), gave birth to two boys and three girls.
The hospital’s “in-born unit” is currently providing special care to the two infant boys, who were born alongside their sisters. This is the first time that quintuplets have been born at the hospital.
Mrs. Priscilla Nwojo, the mother of Oluomachi, expressed her joy at the arrival of the quintuplets, but also acknowledged that it will be difficult to take care of five infants at the same time. She appealed to the government and well-meaning Nigerians to support the family during this time.
My spouse is a tailor while I am a paper merchant. It is difficult to take care of one (infant), let alone five, so we will be grateful if the government can assist us. However, we give God thanks in all circumstances,” she said.
Reports suggest that the father of the quintuplets has not yet arrived at the hospital as of Tuesday afternoon.
The arrival of the quintuplets has generated excitement and goodwill amongst Nigerians, with many taking to social media to offer their support and prayers for the family.
The news has also sparked conversations about the need for better maternal and child healthcare in Nigeria.
As the family adjusts to their newfound blessings, many are hoping that the government and individuals will come together to support them in any way possible.
The birth of the quintuplets is a reminder of the miracle of life and the importance of unity and compassion during challenging times.
