Kehinde Tijani, a lagos Driver and his wife Grace, were recently blessed with a set of quadruplets at Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, Idi-Araba, Lagos, on Independence day. They already have three sons before the new additions.
Ironically, what should bring joy is gradually becoming a source of worry for this couple, as Kehinde, a driver and Grace, a small-time caterer, were already living from hand to mouth before the four extra mouths put them at crossroads.
The family presently resides in a tiny, rented one-room apartment at Ajangbandi in Okokomaiko, Lagos.
They expressed gratitude to God for the gift of children, but are saddened and fearful of an uncertain future occasioned by poverty and hardship.
Kehinde, who hails from Oyo State, said they need financial assistance to take care of his wife and children. See More photos below
He
said: "I need help. I am a driver. I started driving someone last year
and my monthly salary is so meager I can hardly feed three children not
to talk of seven. "I
need help please. I want the government and other people, who can, to
come to my aid. I don't have money, I don't have a house. I need about
N1 million to take care of the medical bills of the children and their
mother."My wife had two Caesarian Sections and since the birth of the babies last week they have been in an incubator. Also, with the arrival of the quadruplets, we need better accommodation for the children."
"Things have been difficult as he only earns N30,000 monthly, and we had three children before the arrival of these four" Grace said.
Grace from Delta state, said she has no history of multiple birth in her family.
She said: "I have been married for 10 years now. It is only my husband who is a twin. How can I take care of four babies at the same time?
"Please help us. The babies, three girls and a boy, have been placed in the incubator.
It was gathered that the babies are in good condition...... Lets help them in any way we can.. Your prayers alone is enough.
