She delivered at God's Mercy hospital, Obiuno,
Otolo-Nnewi, Anambra state.
Hundreds of people gathered to glorify God and behold
the couple Mr and Mrs Abuchi Odo who got blessed with the quintuplets.
The mother of the five new born babies,(four boys and
a girl) said she didn't know that she was carrying quintuplets in her womb and
that the scan only revealed that she was with a twin.
The twenty nine year old mother of the new quintuplets
said she earlier had three girls which she got one after the other in different
pregnancies and the girls were followed by a triplet (two boys and a girl).
She said that she later lost the boys and was left
with four girls noting that she was just prepared for her last pregnancy which
she hoped would be a boy only to be blessed again with four boys and a girl.
Mrs Odo who said she is an apprentice in a tailoring
business was delivered of the quintuplets through caesarean section said she is
in good health but only needs the assistance of well-meaning individuals in the
industrial town of Nnewi and beyond to come to the aid of her family as they
can no longer cater for nine children.
A nurse in God's Mercy hospital, Blessing Odemena who
had a tough time wadding off the mammoth crowd that trooped to her hospital
narrated how the lady came to her to complain about the fact that she was
desirous of having a baby boy as customary in Igboland.
Odoemena also collaborated the fact that the scanning
done during the antenatal revealed only a set of twin but when her patient
stomach became too big, the doctor proscribed a further scan which indicated
triplet.
She however said that she is not surprised that the
pregnancy ended in a quintuplets as her patient's tummy was extra big though in
good condition of health.
Mr Abuchi Odo, a tricycle operator who actually wanted
to run away after realizing the magnitude of responsibility that just fell on
him said he was prevailed upon to stay back by Prince Justin Brown and his
elder brother.
He said his old rickety tricycle cannot put enough
food on the table for nine children outside him and his wife.
He passionately appealed to Anambra state governor,
Chief Willie Obiano, Dr Mr Peter Obi, Cletus Ibeto, Dr Ifeanyi Uba, Sir Louis
Onwugbuenu, Dame Virgy Etiaba, Archbishop Godwin Okpala and Bishop Hilary Okeke
and other public spirited personalities to rise to his help.
Prince Justin Brown who is a family friend of the Odos
also pleaded for the affluents individuals to help the poor family who just got
blessed with five children in addition with the four children they earlier
have.
He said he personally arranged for food for the
nursing mother and her husband who according to him is bereft of any idea on
what to do so that the blessing bestow on the family would not become a source
of worry.
