Photo: Woman gives birth to baby without arms in Ogun, husband runs

A woman identified as Mrs Taiwo Sheriffdeen gave birth to a baby boy without arms in Ifo LGA of Ogun state on Tuesday February 24th. According to a report by Punch, the woman gave birth to the baby, her first child, at Majotal Hospital, a private hospital in the Ilogbo area of Ado/Odo-Ota Local Government Area of the state.

Speaking on the birth of her deformed baby, the mother said her husband, Mudashiru Sheriffdeen, ran away after he was told that their child was deformed at birth (the baby pictured above).
“This is my first child and I do not know why I gave birth to this kind of a baby. Immediately my husband was informed that his son had deformity, he ran away and had not come to see me. He is a commercial bus driver, and we had been married now for almost two years before God decided to answer our prayers.
When I was pregnant, we took every steps that the doctor directed us to take, but we did not know why we came about this calamity" she said.
According to the woman, her husband and the landlord of the place where she lives have asked her not to bring the child home. She also pleaded with the government to come and help her by adopting her baby
“I have been warned by both my husband and our landlord not to bring the child home. The hospital management has asked us to leave the hospital. Now, this child and I have nowhere to go, I don’t need this baby. I want government to adopt him.” she said

    2. Dispose? Seriously! Imagine if Ur own mother disposed of U at birth. There are charities and motherless babies homes that would take the child. The hospital should have been able to direct her on what next to do but sadly Nigerian hospitals are just as incompetent as the father of the child

  41. And is it the baby's fault that he did not develop fully? I can also see that the legs are not well developed. No one knows what this child could turn out to be. Woman take your child and cater for him, he is your flesh and blood. Ever heard of a mother's love for a child being unconditional.

  42. You don't want her ?
    The govt should come adopt her ? and drop it for who/where ?
    Govt house ?
    If you don't want your baby because she's deformed , then who the heck do you expect to want her ?
    I really pity the girl . Instead of you to be pleading for help on how to give her a better life and technical arms you're busy looking for who to inherit your issues .
    Silly woman .

  43. VERY IN HUMAN ON THE WOMAN PART. YOU DON'T NEED YOUR BABY BECAUSE HE IS DISABLED ABI? IF YOU REJECT HIM DO YOU THINK THAT GOD WILL BE PLEASE WITH YOU AND GIVE ANOTHER?IF OTHERS REJECT HIM YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO SAME!

    ReplyDelete
  44. This woman is most likely the cause of her problem and now she is looking for government to adopt the child. Who is government?
    When a woman is pregnant, she is not supposed to drink any medicine especially in the first three months of pregnancy. This is because the medicine can interfere with the proper formation of the baby. That is why you are not meant to drink even paracetamol but you will see women, they will drink herbs and all sorts of things and when their child is deformed, they will start looking for government to adopt the poor baby. Small thing now it will become Jonathan's fault.

  57. This is sad. it is a shame that she see or called her child 'a calamity'. no one prays to have a child with any form of disability but life happens to people. I also know how difficult it is raising a disabled child in this country but if my parents can do it, I think others can. this innocent child didn't ask to come to this world like this. So woman, carry your child home, nurture and love him.

You get shown the four chambers of the heart, kidneys, blood vessels etc.... Yes things can still be missed but no way is anyone going to make me believe this lady had any scans. Probably no ante natal too.. It's obvious.

  92. So in this day of an age some Nigerians don't know that a disabled child is not a curse from God rather a medical reason. Nigerians needs to get informed in things that matters rather than talking about money all the time. Money without common sense.

    I understand the woman's plight cos nigeria is not yet ready to accept children born like this.
    I myself have a lovely daughter born with one hand no fully formed and yet I still think of where things went wrong.
    Also scans are not always accurate cos my own scans showed both hands fully formed.
    She's needs to see a psychiatrist soon cos she might have evil thoughts in her head.
    But truth be told, I don't think the mother can give the child the care and love he deserves.
