60 year old Mrs Omolara Irurhe (pictured above) who
had been looking of a child for over 30 years reportedly
gave birth to a baby girl this past Monday June 16th
through the Invitro Fertilization (IVF) treatment at a
Specialist Hospital in Lagos.
The Nation reports that Mrs Irurhe, who has been
married for 31 years, started the IVF treatment in 2010
and said her faith in God and her believe in modern
medicine helped her go through the process, after many
years of childlessness in marriage. She said her
husband, Mr Adekunle Irurhe’s Catholic belief of one
man one wife made him not to marry another woman
and stood by her through all the years.
“I believe we should not limit God and what the doctors
can do in this modern age. I believe this is the appointed
time. I was very hopeful throughout the years I was
childless and I remained focused on God. We went to
many hospitals but we didn’t give up,” she said
An elated Mr Adekunle Irurhe said though there were
pressures to get another wife, he was determined to
stay with his wife alone as that was the practice of his
own parents. He said his wife’s belief in the In vitro
fertilization method made him support her.
“I supported her throughout because my wife was
dogged and she believed in herself. When I saw her
faith, I had no choice but to go with her. She kept telling
me she would have her child. I wasn’t thinking of
another wife. I came from a monogamous family and I
decided she is all I will have. The family was
understanding too and we fought together to get this
