Unemployed father of quintuplets sends out SOS

Mr. Imudia Uduehi, a father of quintuplet, has
appealed to government, well-meaning
Nigerians and philanthropists to support the
family in raising the children.
Uduehi, an unemployed graduate from Ekpoma
in Esan West Local Government Area in Edo
State, made the appeal in Abuja, yesterday.
He said the quintuplets were delivered at the
National Hospital, Abuja, last week, adding that
all the five babies and the mother were in
good health.
His words: “I am delighted and I thank God for
blessing us with these healthy children. I know
it is a huge responsibility because it is not
easy to raise even one child.
“I am, however, appealing to the government,
well-meaning Nigerians and corporate
organisations to come and support my family
in raising the children.
“I want everyone to see these children not just
as a blessing to us, but also a blessing to the
entire nation.”
In the same vein, his wife, Oluwakemi, who is
a civil servant, expressed joy for safe delivery,
adding that she conceived naturally and
delivered five healthy baby girls.
Uduehi, who also appealed to Nigerians to
support her family, stated that they were
presently residing in a one bedroom apartment
at Lugbe on Airport Road.
She said: “My husband is presently searching
for a job and I am a civil servant with Nigerian
Population Commission in Abuja.
“We both live in a one bedroom apartment in
Lugbe, because that is what we can afford.
But now that God has blessed us with five
children, we will definitely need a bigger
apartment and money to meet their needs,
especially buying baby food and clothes.”
