Which Hospital Diagnosed This Woman as "Wombless"?
Miracles still happen today, and indeed God works in mysterious ways. Sometimes however, we need to ask questions rather than simply swallow every story put out by so-called men of God, or allow service providers continue to get away with everything including murder. A lot of medical diagnosis in Nigeria are either completely unreliable because diagnostic equipment is lacking or the doctor is not adequately trained.
Where there is a birth of a baby to a supossedly "wombless" woman without the birth clinic verifying that the baby was carried outside the womb, the hospital that made the initial diagnosis needs to be reported to authorities so they can be investigated. Without doing this, the cycle of wrong diagnosis and possibly, deaths, at the hands of such quack doctors and hospitals will only continue.
As the news goes, wife of the General Overseer of Omega Power Ministries, Port-Harcourt, Nigeria Evangelist (Dr) Nkechi Chinyere, gave birth to a baby girl eight years after the couple got married. The birth is described as miraculous because she was diagnosed to be without a womb six years ago by a hospital she had consulted with earlier in their marriage as she sought reasons for the couple's infertility.
The Church’s Media Director, speaking for the OPM’s general overseer, Apostle (Dr) Chibuzor Chinyere, through the Nation newspaper, said the GO was overjoyed because he and his wife had endured a barrage of insults from his elder sister who had taunted them for their infertility. According to the report,
Two years after marriage without conception, Chinyere recalled his wife became worried, making him to direct his elder sister to accompany her to an undisclosed hospital in Port Harcourt GRA for examination.
She was pronounced without womb and declared incapable of conception, let alone delivery of baby, Chinyere remembered. Armed with the vital information, he said his elder sister resorted to smear his wife’s name, even in the Church, taunting her as a man.
Now, I would think that if one hospital gives such a sensitive diagnosis, the sensible thing to do would be to go for a second opinion. And even a third and a fourth. If this couple have been trying to have children for the past eight years, I doubt they've relied on just that one verdict. And I find it disingenuous that the GO would bring it up now after they've known for long that it was a false diagnosis. As for the sister who taunts her younger brother about his wife's infertility, I shake my head. And this in a so-called church too?
