Mr. and Mrs. Balewa who got maried in December 4,2004 did not know they would ever become parents until last Tuesday when they were blessed with a set of quadruplets.
Nyarum delivered a boy and three girls through caesarean session at the Bingham University Teaching Hospital, Jos.
This was after enduring mockery and pain for lack of children since marriage.
“I felt the pain of childlessness every month,” she said in an interview.
Every month, I hoped for a new story,” she narrated her ordeal.
According to her, childlessness is the worst form of torture a woman would ever have.
“It deals with you social, mentally and spiritually.”
She, however, kept her hopes high, resisting negative criticisms and advice until nine months ago when she tested positive for pregnancy.
“I didn’t even believe it, but when I went for scanning six months later and was told it was quadruplets, I was dumbfounded,” she narrated.
Her husband, Mr. Balewa didn’t just share in the disbelieve but kept it to himself until the kids were born.
“I hate disappointments so I told God if this blessing wasn’t mine in the first place, don’t raise my hopes and later take it away,” he said.
During his period of childlessness, Mr. Balewa equally faced stigma and negative criticisms but remained strong in prayers.
“I got married late and people said I was initially impotent that’s why,” he said.
After series of medical examinations, the retired staff of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi was sure that it was God’s decision to not give him children.“Nothing was found to be wrong with me or my wife, so we kept praying and trusting God,” said Mr. Balewa.
Balewa, now a Pastor was, however, not confident in preaching about God’s supreme power due to his inability to father a child.
“I asked God at various times; how do I preach that all things are possible with you while still without a child?”
The coming of the kids is, therefore, a “surprising prove of God’s supreme power,” said Bot.
The couple is expected to be discharged on Monday after the third routine examination of the children.

It is indeed the worst form of torture
ReplyDeleteI pity women who find it difficult to birth it not easy atall
You are entitled to your opinions. I disagree with you and the woman. There are all forms of problems and tortures. It depends on the person, the couple and their attitude towards life generally. A lot of infertile couples live very happy and fulfilled lives.
DeleteHaving children is actually overrated as it neither guarantees happiness in life nor is it an automatic ticket to heaven.
You are so correct. Having children is so over rated. Loving brings so much pain.
DeleteMy dear, if a couple desire kids and keep struggling to get pregnant, it is torture, as in real one.
DeleteChildlessness is worse than HIV. God please change my stories. I tap into this success story in Jesus name, amen.
DeleteIs it worse than poverty?? Lol
DeleteI still maintain that it depends on you. Never mind how the society tries to look at people ttc.. Are you aware that there are people who regret having children? They're forced to have children they don't want and live the life they detest.
DeleteLife is full of all sorts. I feel sad for people who feel they are incomplete without children. This short life!
It should be enjoyed. And, please, stop comparing people's issues. You are in no position to.
I'll encourage you to look inwards. Everyone has challenges.
TTC for years even when you want babies is torture. It is not about what people are saying but desire to be a parent differs.
DeleteI am happy for them
ReplyDeleteAwesome news! Thank God for them.
DeleteThank God for this good news.
ReplyDeleteIvf maybe??
the question was not necessary.
DeleteIt might not be IVF. Miracles still happen, I am a witness and I Trust God to keep mother and child till term.
DeleteOBVIOUSLY IVF or Clomid. Miracles hapen through science. They already confirmed they had medical examinations but wont say the full stort because the man is a pastor.
DeleteWoooww!! Conirats to the family. God is realy awesome.
ReplyDeleteGod the master planner, Twaile for you.
ReplyDeleteTruly, childlessness is the worse form of torture a woman can go through.
DeleteThe pressure, the side talks, the frustration is just too much.
I have a colleague who's TTC too. I feel her frustration anytime she's worrying & crying. She has spent & spent, from hospitals to orthodox medcines..just name it.
May every woman's prayers for children be answered speedily. Amen.
Nobody must yield to pressure. A lot of people like to sensationalism infertility and try to use others to feel good about themselves. We're members of the society, but no one should allow the society make them not to enjoy this sweet life that is so short.
DeleteEyaa, thanks to God.
ReplyDeleteChai,i really thank God for them o
ReplyDeleteIsn’t this our God wonderful?
ReplyDeleteOh Lord, let me experience this type of miracle soonest.
Amen. God will do it again for you.
DeleteAnd yet some people will say they are looking for boys
ReplyDeleteThank God o.
Can not imagine the torture
Congratulations to the family.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. The torture is terrible.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the family. I can only imagine!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to them...
ReplyDeleteGod is Awesome...
His mercy endures forever...
God is indeed faithful
ReplyDeleteHe has given them double blessings for their Shame
What can't you do GOD? Nothing!!
ReplyDeleteGlory be to your name JESUS
I can relate. I know a couple who has been childless for years. Due to my profession I advised them to go for assisted conception since they were so desperate. Tried it twice and it failed,very expensive too. They had to go obtain loans and all their savings.
ReplyDeleteThey didn't blamed me but I still feel guilty for advising them to go through such an expensive procedure that eventually ended in futility
IVF only has a 25% success rate. I understand your feelings of guilt. Sometimes not having a child is God's intention for you. An old friend told me of a relative of hers who tried everything to have a child, they were very well off and the only thing seemed missing from their perfect lives was a child. Well, the woman eventually became pregnant and the child was born with many different ailments and disabilities. The joy they longed for is no longer a joy, because the child requires around the clock care and will never live the kind of life they dreamed of. Only God knows us on the cellular level, sometimes God knows that the sperm and the egg will not produce what the heart desires so HE prevents a child from coming through. But I understand a couple's desire to have a family, children are considered the ultimate sign of prosperity for a married couple. May all those seeking get what their heart desires.
DeleteYesooh..d worst form of torture any woman can go through.. I don't even wish it on my enemy ooh.A year and 9 months dat I went through it was terrible. God bless every woman looking up to him for dis kind of blessing.
ReplyDeleteAny woman that is ttc
DeleteFather Lord please hear my prayers and bless me too
ReplyDeleteHe will in Jesus name. Amen!
DeleteIn the meantime, don't allow anyone to push you into believing that it's the worst form of torture because it's not. There are people with children whose lives are hellfire on earth but they pretend that all is well, and make infertile couples feel they don't have a life.
Please, live your life to the fullest no matter what.
15:53 it’s not about people pushing one to believe it’s torture. When a woman’s heart yearns for a baby, every new cycle becomes a torturous thing to see. Hope deferred makes the heart sick.
DeleteWOW.............Awesome God,thank you for this wonderful gift.
ReplyDeleteBbjac
Please do not loose hope Dear, put your trust in the Lord, He's the one and only Supreme God... Keep praying and hoping, it is going to happen at God's own time, you will laugh last and the sun will rise again.
ReplyDeleteFather Lord bless me with my own children cos this 6years is much to bear. It is the worst things that l have ever seen in my Life. God will Visit all of us before this year runs out.
ReplyDeletePlease do not loose hope Dear, put your trust in the Lord, He's the one and only Supreme God... Keep praying and hoping, it is going to happen at God's own time, you will laugh last and the sun will rise again.
