A mother of three, who recently welcomed a set of twins, has made a heartfelt appeal to Nigerians for urgent support after her husband allegedly abandoned her while she was still in the hospital. Now left to care for five children alone, the mother has reportedly gone several days without proper meals and is struggling to provide basic necessities for her newborn twins, including food, clothing, and essential medications.
The woman’s dire circumstances have sparked widespread concern online, with social media users expressing shock at her plight and calling for immediate intervention from well-meaning individuals and relevant authorities.
Good Samaritan Steps In
A TikTok user, @singledemon1236, who first encountered the struggling mother at the hospital, recounted her efforts to help settle the medical bills for the twins’ delivery. She explained that while she has been doing her best to support the family, the responsibility has become too overwhelming for her to handle alone.
In her emotional post, she wrote: “She was abandoned by her husband when she gave birth to twins. She cried out for help, that’s when I saw her and I assisted her with the medical fee. Now she’s back home and I have also been trying my best for her and her remaining 3 kids. Still, I can’t do it alone 😔 I’m also fighting for myself 😑 that’s why I’m calling out for help for her. Please, no amount is small to assist a soul.”
She further elaborated on the mother’s critical situation: “Now she’s all alone with 5 kids after the husband ran away, after she gave birth to twins. He left her in the hospital. The twins are just 2 months old. The mother of the kids hardly eats, and the kids’ medications are almost finished. The little clothes I bought them are still the ones they’re managing. Please, I beg everyone in GOD’s name, she needs your assistance. I’m begging on her behalf.”[/p>
Mother Speaks Out
In a video shared online, the mother spoke in Yoruba, confirming that her husband abandoned her shortly after she delivered the twins. She expressed the challenges of trying to care for five children on her own, detailing how difficult it has been to provide food and basic care for the newborns and her other children. Her frail appearance and emotional account in the video have stirred strong reactions among viewers, many of whom have expressed sympathy and urged immediate help.
The mother’s story has also highlighted the larger societal issue of maternal vulnerability in Nigeria, where women may be left without financial or emotional support after childbirth, and the urgent need for community and governmental support structures to assist mothers in crisis.[/p>
Social Media Mobilization
The video and post by @singledemon1236 quickly went viral, with many social media users calling for donations and practical assistance to help the struggling mother. Supporters have been urged to provide food, clothing, medications, and financial aid to ensure the survival and well-being of the five children, especially the two-month-old twins. Online communities have also used the opportunity to raise awareness about maternal and child welfare and the challenges faced by single mothers in vulnerable circumstances.
Many have also commented on the need for a sustainable support system for mothers in similar situations, urging local authorities, NGOs, and religious organizations to provide assistance and protection to mothers who may be abandoned or left vulnerable in hospitals.
The TikTok user’s post emphasizes the urgency and severity of the mother’s condition, highlighting that immediate action is necessary to prevent further suffering for her and her children.
