Inspiring story of how African Woman beat brain tumour, PCOS to become mother
By Francesca Hangeior
An African American woman named Moshi has shared her inspiring journey to motherhood after doctors told her that her health conditions — a brain tumour and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome — made it nearly impossible.
Moshi, who tweets under the handle #Heymoshimoshii on X (formerly Twitter), revealed that her 2017 diagnosis left her with little hope of ever having children.
Despite the challenges, she recently welcomed her “tiny miracle” and took to social media to celebrate the joyous moment.
On Monday, Moshi shared baby bump photos and expressed gratitude for a blessing she once believed was beyond reach.
“Since 2017, I’ve been told motherhood wouldn’t be possible due to my brain tumour & PCOS. But 8 years later, here we are defying the odds. My tiny miracle, I’m in awe of you. You’re the answer to prayers I thought were unheard & I’m forever grateful to God for this blessing ,” she wrote.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is a common hormonal disorder affecting individuals with ovaries, typically during their reproductive years. It is characterised by an imbalance in reproductive hormones, leading to various symptoms and health issues.
PCOS is often associated with elevated levels of male hormones (androgens), and small fluid-filled sacs (cysts) may develop on the ovaries, interfering with the regular release of eggs.

The federal government has endorsed the establishment of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Federal Polytechnic in Gwarinpa, Abuja.
The decision was part of the government’s drive to ensure that every state in the country had at least one federal polytechnic.
The approval of Bola Ahmed Tinubu Polytechnic was conveyed in a letter dated January 9, 2025, by the Education Minister, Dr. Tunji Alausa.
It was addressed to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
The FCT Minister’s office confirmed receipt of the letter on January 16, 2025.
In the correspondence, Dr. Alausa urged Wike to identify suitable locations in Gwarinpa for both temporary and permanent sites of the polytechnic.
A joint team from the Federal Ministry of Education and the National Board for Technical Education have been listed to inspect the proposed locations before finalizing the site selection.
The Bola Ahmed Tinubu Federal Polytechnic is expected to boost technological education, vocational training, and entrepreneurship development, aligning with the government’s commitment to enhancing technical skills and economic empowerment across Nigeria. [With GWG report]

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) reports that the fire incident at its Buguma Wellhead 008, operated by its subsidiary, NNPC Eighteen Operating Ltd (NEOL), was directly caused by the activities of pipeline vandals attempting to compromise the Christmas Tree and steal crude oil.
This unfortunate act of sabotage, which also resulted in severe damage to the well’s back pressure valve, reflects a disturbing pattern of repeated attacks on wellheads in the zone. Since March 2023, crude oil theft on this asset has been persistent, with criminals now resorting to extreme measures, including the use of dynamite to destroy installations and illegally access hydrocarbons.
NNPC Ltd remains committed to combating these fires and mitigating the financial losses associated with these criminal activities, which place a significant burden on the nation’s economy. The company is working closely with relevant security agencies to put an end to these acts of vandalism.
Additionally, NNPC Ltd reaffirms its commitment to supporting communities affected by these destructive activities and will continue to provide necessary relief efforts to mitigate the impact on those affected.
