Mrs. Queen Udekwe, whose first two children are twins, is appealing to well-spirited Nigerians and corporate organisations to come to her aid to enable her care for the children.
Speaking to journalists at the Edo state Secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Queen said she does not want her children to die of starvation.
She said when a scan of her pregnancy revealed that she was carrying a
set of triplet, her husband Mathew Udekwe, who hailed from Omonukpa
community, Enugu state, told her that he would not be around when the
babies would be delivered, due to lack of fund, a statement she taught
he was joke.
The distraught mother who said her husband absconded shortly before she
gave birth, disclosed that her relations and kind-hearted individuals
saw her through at the hospital and in taking care of the triplets and
the set of twins.
"I already had a set of twins. To me, it’s a thing of joy until my husband absconded shortly before giving birth to triplets. I used to hawk rice in a wheel barrow while my husband is tricycle driver. I am finding it difficult to feed the triplets and the twins. I used to take them round markets to beg for money so that we can eat. I don’t want them to die of starvation. I am appealing to Nigerians and corporate organisations for urgent assistance to save me and my babies from dying of starvation"
