Obaseki’s wife comforts childless women
Edo State First Lady, Betsy Obaseki, yesterday encouraged childless women to view themselves as fruitful, full of potential and proud mothers of children who would arrive in God’s time.
Obaseki, accompanied by Ifeyinwa Ighodalo, wife of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, shared these comforting words yesterday during a Zoom meeting with Edo women in the diaspora.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that her comment was in response to a viral video featuring Sen. Adams Oshiomhole’s remarks about her being childless.
Obaseki, while addressing more than 200 women, who joined the meeting from various countries, reminded them that everyone was created by God for a purpose.
“My words of comfort to you, like myself, who have conceived and experienced miscarriages, painful stillbirths, and evacuations of babies, who died in our wombs and as a result, have no children to show for the pain we have endured.
“You are not barren. I dare to call you fruitful.
“You and I are potential and proud mothers of children that will come in God’s time. Enjoy the life God has given you.
“Take your mind off your challenge, and before you know it, children will start coming,” she said.
Obaseki highlighted that her contributions to society have gone beyond the biological aspect of motherhood.
“Being fruitful is not limited to childbearing. It is about impacting lives and creating positive change in society.
“There is no point in feeling bad. Women can fulfill God’s purpose in many ways beyond motherhood,” she added.
Obaseki also shared a message of encouragement for women who, like herself, have faced the pain of miscarriages and stillbirths, urging them not to feel discouraged or defined by their losses.
On her part, Ifeyinwa Ighodalo thanked the women for attending the meeting and promised to continue all of Betsy Obaseki’s programmes for women and the girl child in Edo if her husband was elected.

The EFCC and other security agencies in Nigeria are violators of human rights” Bobrisky says as he shares court filing praying the court to restrain security agencies from violating his rights.
Bobrisky, through his lawyer, had filed a petition in the Federal High Court of Nigeria to restrain the EFCC and other security agencies from harassing, arresting, detaining, or declaring the crossdresser wanted.
Bobrisky said that despite the court filing, the EFCC violently assaulted him and pulled him out of a plane that was about to tale off, which is a violation of his fundamental human right.
He said he now wants the world to see the security agencies in Nigeria for what they are.

Bread and butter activists: Wike not available for such adult delinquents-Olayinka slams Adeyanju
Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media to the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has reiterated that the Minister will not give attention to “professional scammers and hustlers” who are masquerading as activists.
In a statement on Saturday, the Spokesperson to the FCT Minister said most of those jumping from one social media platform to another to speak against the FCT Minister were doing so because he ignored them and is making the “Yahoo Yahoo” antics through which they have sustained themselves to fail.
He said; “While growing up as a child in the hilly town of Okemesi Ekiti, one of the lessons I learned from my grandfather was never to wrestle with pigs. He was constantly telling us that the danger of wrestling with a pig will be that at the end of the fight, sane minds won’t be able to differentiate between you and the pig you fought with.
Therefore, as a matter of principle, we won’t dignify some people with any response.
“This is more so that we know how a certain emergency activist diverted election money to purchase a petrol station. We know how some so-called activists have fought themselves over protest money, including the one in 2019.
