How my Edo poly lecturer left me with twin pregnancy to ‘japa’
A Nigerian woman has come forward with an account of how her boyfriend, a lecturer at Auchi Polytechnic in Edo State, abandoned her with a twin pregnancy after securing his visa to the UK.
The yet-to-be-identified woman, who shared her story on Saturday via X under the handle #dat_edogirl, revealed the painful details of her ordeal.
In a series of posts, she recounted how she met the lecturer in mid-2019 and fell deeply in love, believing they had a future together.
“He told me about his plans to travel outside the country where his elder brother was,” she said, adding that when they met, he expressed his dissatisfaction with his lecturing job at Auchi Polytechnic, saying he was seeking greener pastures abroad.
By 2022, the lecturer informed her that his visa had been approved, and while she was initially thrilled for him, the joy quickly turned to sorrow when she discovered she was pregnant.
“When I told him about the pregnancy, he said he wouldn’t advise me to keep it because he was traveling and wasn’t ready to be a father,” she recounted.
Despite the potential risks to her life, he pushed her to terminate the pregnancy, even suggesting the use of pills.
“I just told him I wasn’t ready to lose my life,” she added.
Unknown to her at the time, she was carrying twins. Throughout her difficult pregnancy, the lecturer completely cut off contact.
“This guy never called, even once, or replied to my WhatsApp messages,” she said, adding that her nine-month journey was filled with sickness, and she was frequently hospitalised.
The twins were eventually born through a difficult Caesarean section, with one of the babies placed on oxygen due to complications. Even after sharing the news of the birth, the father remained unresponsive.
“I did a video with my phone and sent it on WhatsApp to Kola, still he didn’t reply,” she said.
The financial strain soon became overwhelming as her family struggled to pay the hospital bills.
“My mum was running helter-skelter just to source funds,” she said, with the final bill amounting to 233,000 Naira.
After being discharged, she continued to care for the children alone.
“I named my children myself, did everything myself; he didn’t care or show interest,” she lamented.
Reaching out to his family also proved fruitless, as his brother in Nigeria blocked her after promising to speak with him.
The situation worsened when she travelled to Ondo State to confront her father’s family. She borrowed money from a loan app to make the journey with her mother and children.
Upon arrival, the lecturer’s brother intercepted them at the gate of Adeyemi College of Education and took them elsewhere to avoid creating a scene. When they eventually spoke with the father, he refused to accept responsibility.
“He insulted me and my family to the extent I started crying,” she said, devastated by the verbal abuse.
She blocked his number and finally decided to share her story publicly, appealing for help.
“Please if you know his family in Ondo kindly help me reach out to them. The economy is hard, feeding, clothing, and the kids need to go to school,” she said.
She added, “I am not interested in marrying Kola or having any relationship with him… I just want my kids taken care of.”

The Lagos State Police Command, has confirmed that no case of stealing was established against Nollywood actress, Lizzy Anjorin-Lawal, who was accused of stealing gold at the Oba Akintoye Market in the Lagos Island area of the state.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the development to our correspondent, who requested an update on the case.
He said during the command’s investigation, it was established that the video showing people, including traders, accusing Anjorin-Lawal of stealing was a mistake of facts.
Hundeyin said, “There was no case of stealing to start with; our investigation revealed that the seller of the goods gave the wrong account number. Out of the 10 digits the person was to provide, one digit was given wrongly and our investigation revealed that Lizzy Anjorin-Lawal did the transfer to the wrong account number.
“But when it turned out that it was a mistake of facts and that they called her a thief in error, Lizzy (Anjorin-Lawal) took the assault meted out against her up and after the suspects were arrested and the case had gone to court, for reasons best known to her, she said she was no longer interested in the case and the case was withdrawn.”
Speaking further, Hundeyin said the people who accused Anjorin-Lawal of stealing, while writing their statements at the police station, confirmed that they were the ones who made the mistake, as it was the seller that gave her the wrong account details.
“Lizzy Anjorin-Lawal transferred what she was supposed to transfer, which was about N90,000, into the wrong account that she was given and there was a receipt; when it was becoming too hot, she again transferred money to the correct account number they gave her.
“So, she did a double transfer just to avoid trouble, even though the mistake was not hers. So, I am confirming that the police investigation revealed that there was no stealing. Lizzy Anjorin-Lawal was not culpable of stealing as she did not engage in stealing according to our investigation,” the PPRO added.
Recall that Anjorin, during her visit to the market, was accused of stealing gold and assaulted by some traders in a video clip that went viral online.
It was reported in February 2024, that no fewer than six traders were arrested in connection to the assault and the six traders were arraigned before the Chief Magistrate Court in Lagos Island Local Government for allegedly assaulting and blackmailing Anjorin-Lawal during her visit to the market to purchase gold.
