OP , your post is truly touching. I pray that God grants your family strength and makes this situation easier to handle.

This issue with incorrect genotype results is a clear example of the failures in our healthcare system. It’s good that you’re seeking advice before making any major decisions for your family’s future. If you both choose to stay together, there are options to have children without sickle cell disease. Some people have already mentioned prenatal testing during pregnancy, though it can be a very emotionally difficult process, especially if it leads to tough decisions like termination. Another option to consider is IVF using donor eggs or sperm from individuals who are not carriers of the sickle cell trait.

If relocating is something you’re open to, it’s worth beginning to plan for a move to a more developed country where your son can access better quality of healthcare.

The letter of summon/hearing was not from the Senate. It was from the House of Representatives.

Ordinary Ahmed and his goons were just misunderstanding the letter. They were even questioning why they should be summoned, even when it was Human Rights Radio/Berekete Family that wrote the petition.

Why can't they be summoned? Why can ordinary Ahmed be summoned? Is he above the law or what?

I like some of his activities and programs but his lack of information, education, pride and overzealous behavior sometimes hinder him from making the right decisions and intervening objectively.

Exactly, thanks for the correction, the summon was from the House of Representatives in response to the petition. I was also wondering why him and his team reacted the way they did in the studio after the invitation was read that day. I totally agree with your last paragraph (not sure about his level of education though).

I follow the programme sometimes, the invitation from the Senate for is something different and the letter was read in the studio even before this Akpabio/Natasha issue (I think he was asked to come by Thursday) so I was really surprised when I started seeing another narrative on X, amplified by that Shehu Sani. I wonder why the Senate or Brekete Family did not release a statement before now. Misinformation is a huge problem in Nigeria and people/institutions concerned should be very active in tackling it.

This Minister is looking for an excuse to squander money. Why not use the 8 billion naira to offset the outstanding bills for the poor and give them a clean slate with prepaid meters? The National Orientation Agency is there to disseminate information, they have the budget for that - use them instead of duplicating their work.

First, I think your sister should relocate (temporarily or permanently - depending on what your family can arrange) until this issue is resolved or something changes.

Does this guy live with his family? If yes, you may want to involve your parents and his or elderly family along with elderly people in the street who can mediate. Also let them know the police will be involved no matter what so that he can sign the undertaking (as it is very serious); his attitude will determine if you go a step further by ensuring the case is charged to court.

Olumide Akpata is a homeboy too - really? Does Philip Shuaibu know what he is saying or is he insulting people’s intelligence?

Your experience is very touching. I am familiar with the locations you have mentioned. I know some women/young girls have been taken advantage of in the name of egg donation, IVF and surrogacy in Edo State, and I really want the perpetrators to be made to face the law. Like others have said, please keep your evidence securely for now and make sure you can leave that place safely before you report it to the government. Even when reporting it, you will have to use mediums like Nairaland and Twitter too so that it is not swept under the carpet by government because Dr A and her husband might have long legs and connections that they can deploy to frustrate you. It’s so difficult to know who can be trusted nowadays but I will keep an eye on your profile and follow for updates so I can share to people I know as well. All the best!

As high as the tension is in the country currently, it is sad to see that people still have the guts to arrange fake kidnaps. I hope they are dealt with appropriately and the incidents are put in their police records so that they live with the consequences of their actions.

Nobody deserves to be physically attacked no matter the situation - there are too many instances we have seen that did not end well. NPF Officers can be annoying but common sense has taught some of us that dialogue is often the way out, not brashness and assault. I am sure the lady is already regretting her actions and will be very humble now; there will be lessons to learn from her case especially for people who feel they are hot-tempered.

These are part of the problems in Nigeria- why do we pay board 2 million naira monthly to come and sit around and sad thing is, all government agencies have similar arrangements. When there are misconducts and allegations of corruption, one wonders why we never really see any strong resistance from these board in the interest of Nigerians.

My goodness! I really loved Akwa Ibom Ayaiya, and my siblings too - we would do the dance whenever it was playing back then and I have just gone on YouTube to watch the video once more. I am really sad to hear that he is dead. May his soul RIP, amen.

Then ACT already…instead of all these talk and inaction. My goodness!!! If you are unable to deal decisively with this problem for whatever reason, then resign and let someone more competent get into that seat.

THANK YOU SUPER EAGLES. Proud to be Nigerian!!!

Potato, potayto

Thanks for the expose FIj, this definitely smells fishy.

She don go fvck without mercy. Her V-hole and A-hole right now can swallow my head.

Shut your mouth and stop trying to ridicule women always.

It’s as if the poor lady fell victim to one-chance criminals: https://x.com/marajay___/status/1747712949123244305?s=46

I am really glad she has been found and I am happy for her family.

Congratulations, I wish you a very happy life ahead and may your home be blessed.

I think Ajoke (the illegitimate child) and the last two daughters (from TBJ’s wife) have similar features.

Lol…another show that leads nowhere. No trust in EFCC (or any other government institution for that matter).

I can never trust the intent of Nigerian politician, it’s never really sincere - are we sure these food items and gifts are not part of palliatives that were hoarded? To note that these items from politicians are never distributed fairly and will only get to party and their relatives/associates, not necessarily to the people who really need them - that’s how it’s done.

The government has been spending a lot of money on COP attendance for so many years, not just this year. Nigeria’s delegation is always huge, which is very unnecessary in my view because there is not a lot of value add from attending. The reporter should also do well to check the numbers for COP26 which the UK hosted in 2021, the delegation from Nigeria led by former President Buhari was also over a thousand despite COVID. There is something else that they did not mention: they should check out the money Nigeria spent to purchase a pavilion - Nigeria always gets a pavilion (more like a national office) at the COPs and it ain’t cheap.

Go for a DNA test in several DNA centers, could be a case of baby swap, God is not a confusionist.

AA + AA = excellent, all their children will be AA throughout (Therefore, they can marry)
AA + AS = Good, One of their children will be AS, (therefore, they can marry)
AA + SS = Fair, all their children will be AS throughout (therefore, they can marry)
AS + AS = Hmmm 🤔, one of their children will be SS, (therefore, not advised)
SS + SS = run o! run for your dear life.

This is very wrong information, I know you are using that genotype crossing diagram to make calculations but this is the wrong interpretation.

That diagram just shows the chances of having a child of all the possible genotypes depending on that of the parents. For example, taking number 2 on your list: AA+AS, the possible genotypes resulting from this union will be AA and AS, no SS. So if they have 4 children, all 4 can be AA (there must not be an AS) or all can be AS (and no AA), 1 child can be AA nd others AS, 1 can be AS and others AA, or there can be an even split of AA and AS.

It will be great if you can discuss with a medical expert for more insight please, so that you understand better too.

@nlfpmod, @RoyalRoy, please can you delete this post to ensure people don’t get misinformed.

See them commenting and praising the Governor as if he is using his own money to pay and it is not something the citizens are entitled to. SMH

Thank God these ones have been caught - there is a lady amongst them too as seen in the video. So many of the 419 gangs operating in Abuja and some have even moved to various forms of kidnapping to try and rip their victims of more money. I hope their other victims can see them and go to provide evidence and testimony that will help extend their time in prison.

You had the opportunity and yet failed to play your part in nation building. Posterity will not be kind to all of you who contributed to a failing project Nigeria. Amen to your prayer, may history judge you and may the God you serve judge you and yours.

Lol…denial is typical but those who know, know. I hope the law enforcement authorities will seize this opportunity to investigate this former SGF.

The brazenness of it all!! May Emefiele and his co-conspirators never end well for taking advantage of Nigeria and Nigerians, AMEN.

This is such a laudable achievement in Edo State and such Education Model would go a long way in improving the standard of Learning and Teaching overtime even after your istration Sir

More Grace to Make Edo Great Again Great Governor of Our Time

Sycophants like you will never tell these politicians/government the truth and the sad thing is that most of you milling around these politicians are exactly that. Which education model has improved learning standards in Edo State and where? Please show me one school where his so-called system has worked (independently assessed) and I will direct you to hundreds of schools where the learning environment and quality of education is so terrible that one will wonder if there is a governor or ministry of education in the state. How long ago was it that we saw the video of a teacher and students kneeling down to beg the governor for basic amenities in the school? Do you know how many such schools are littered around Edo State?? Will you allow your child/ward get education in such schools?? Be honest with yourself, since you are praising him as a great governor. Idiot!

I don beat a girl blue black for locking me inside my house and hidding the keys to the front door of my house. I beat her well well that day

You are very proud to say you have beaten someone blue black right and you beat her well well? Your own day of reckoning is coming and you will get what you deserve, amen.

Unlike Nigeria, where politicians (old and young) have no business with paying rent. Most of them build personal houses (usually above 4), then move on to build hotels and plazas, and own properties abroad, but they are never still content and continue stealing. Foolish set of people

So many underhand dealings going on in this country and it still surprises me everytime each is unravelled that there are Nigerians who are part of these shenanigans and don’t care about the detriment to the nation.

The Minister also mentioned reviving the mills again - can’t they just handover to the private sector? Government should not be in business.
