| Two of the quadruplets; Inset:The mother |
A 44-year- old woman, Clara
Dominique, who had been childless for 18 years, has given birth to
quadruplets.
The quadruplets are three girls and
a male.
They were delivered at the Graceland
Medical Centre in Benin City, Edo State.
She said she got married in 1996,
and that it was God’s grace that kept her and her husband through the trials of
barrenness.

She said they refused to keep
friends because of the problem.
“I am happy that my husband and I
were able to stay together to this day to witness the blessings of the Lord. My
husband has been encouraging me that God will do it for us. My husband never
contemplated driving me away.
“I was happy when the scan showed it
was four. Sometimes I think of how I will carry the four of them. I have not
seen somebody delivered four babies. It was not easy for me to carry the
pregnancy. At a time the weight of the pregnancy was too much for me.”
“I was the one dedicating children
at our church every last Sunday of the month. I was the first to visit anybody
that I knew that gave birth so that I can give them what I have. I am not the
jealous type.
“It was my husband’s cousins that
tried to take the matter up but my husband stopped them. My parents were also
there to encourage us. That was what kept us together because the family
pressure was not there. They knew we were Christians and nobody could penetrate
my husband and I.”
One of the doctors at the hospital,
Dr. Oni Samson, said the babies were delivered through cesarean section.
