Oh happy day! Nigeria has recorded the birth of its first set of sextuplets on Saturday, February 21, 2009 at approximately 4:00 am at the Olabisi Onabanjo Teaching Hospital (OOTH) in Sagamu; a woman named Amuda Ajoke Bello, 32 years of age, gave birth to the six baby infants.
Professor Femi Ajayi, The Chairman of the Board of Directors at the Hospital, said the babies, three boys and three girls, weighed between 650, 600, 850, while the three others weigh 900 grams respectively. They are in the intensive care unit at the hospital understandably.
The woman is said to be in stable condition. Professor Ajayi attributed the feat and the success of the birth to "pure professionalism."
This was the first time the nation would be recording this high a number of successful live births.
The father, a battery charger, was said to have fled when he received the news. That’s no surprise. African men have a habit of leaving when times get tough.
Hospital management has decided to take care of the medical bill as a way to lessen the burden of the parents of the sextuplets.

This just goes to show that Nigeria may not be the safest and cleanest country in the world but things are still better there but it’s still better than a lot of places in Africa.
