A
driver, Kehinde Tijani, and his wife Grace, were recently blessed with a set of
quadruplets at Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, on October 1st. They
already have three sons before the new additions. What
should have brought them joy has now become a source of
worry for this couple, as Kehinde and his wife, a small-time caterer, were
already living from hand to mouth before the new additions. The family lives in
a tiny one-room apartment in Okokomaiko.
Kehinde
says he needs financial assistance to take care of his wife and children. “I
need help. I am a driver. I started driving someone last year and my monthly
salary is so meager I can hardly feed three children not to talk of seven. I
need help please. I want the government and other people, who can, to come to
my aid. I don’t have money, I don’t have a house. I need about N1 million to
take care of the medical bills of the children and their mother. My wife had
two Caesarian Sections and since the birth of the babies last week they have
been in an incubator. Also, with the arrival of the quadruplets, we need better
accommodation for the children.”
