For some it was not more than a misdiagnosis. For the spiritual, it was nothing short of a miracle, if ever there was one.
When Mrs Nonye Uju, wife of Kingsley Uju, an aide to Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha, went to hospital following some discomforts, the doctors diagnosed liver problems. For a length of time the thought of such a dire pronouncement preoccupied the home of the Ujus.
That is not the end of the story. Further medical consultations pointed to a pregnancy, rather than liver malfunction. And it was not just a baby lying in the womb. There were two babies there, the second set of doctors said.
And that was what it turned out to be. Mrs Uju has been delivered of twins, a development that elicited joy in the home, the state government and beyond. Mr Uju, an engineer, and Nonye, a lawyer, have been singing a sweet song since.
Governor Okorocha led other dignitaries to the dedication of the babies at the Victory Chapel of the Imo State Government House.
The broad smile on the faces of the couple, family members and well-wishers, showed that the arrival of the twins was indeed a soothing balm to the family.
Giving her testimony in an emotion-laden voice, the soft-spoken mother of the twins, disclosed that what doctors had suspected to be liver problem turned out to be pregnancy.
She described it as a miracle from God, stating that she never knew she was carrying a set of beautiful twins.
“I am short of words to convey how I feel,” she said. “It is only God that can turn any situation around. Doctors had suspected that I was having liver problem but it had turned out to be pregnancy of twins.
“I am short of words to convey how I feel,” she said. “It is only God that can turn any situation around. Doctors had suspected that I was having liver problem but it had turned out to be pregnancy of twins.
“I cannot thank God enough and everyone that supported and prayed with me, especially our mummy and wife of the governor for her motherly support and prayers, among many other well-wishers who stood by us. The arrival of the twins is indeed a moment of joy for us”.
She also prayed to God to use her as a point of contact to every family that is waiting on God for the fruit of the womb, prophesying that their homes “shall be filled with children
