His was joy that came last June in multiples, but inadequate money had treacherously crept in the way, making it difficult for the joy to be fully comprehended or savoured.
This is the case of Dayo Ololade in a clime where many are also passing through the furnace of fire, doing the unimaginable to have the experience yet without success.
Ekiti State born Ololade, Sales Assistant in an Abeokuta based middle range shop, and his petty hair – dresser wife, Ganiyat, are unable to meet the minimum care their triplets required because of low earnings – they need help.
The couples’ triplets – Funmilola, Folake and Funmilayo, arrived safely on June 5 at the Sacred Heart Hospital, Lantoro – Abeokuta, a Catholic health facility, through Caesarian session (CS).
Ololade who told The Nation that he has two children already whose ages are six and four, wanted to flee home on being told his wife had delivered triplets via CS, but was restrained by his brother.
The hospital was caring enough to allow his wife and the new born to go home, but he said aside the daily needs of the babies, he has an outstanding bill of N175,000:00k to settle after he had spent well over N250,000 since the triplets arrived.
Ololade lauded some public spirited individuals in Abeokuta who had helped but he needs more assistance to be able to take care of the triplets and their breast – feeding mother.
