“Na for house I born, na afta dem carry me go hospital wia dem infuse blood for me and tell me to rest, all my previous births too na for house.”
“All my children na for house I dey born dem without single operation,” she told BBC in Pidgin.
Is there a secret to Hajara’s fertility? Speaking on her recent delivery, the mother of 18 said the newborns were taken to Funtua General Hospital, Katsina after her home delivery. On her arrival at the hospital, she was given more blood but lost two of the kids.
On why she is so fertile, the stay-at-home mum ascribed it to God. According to her, she does not do anything different or follow any special meal plan. “It’s only the power of God, I don’t eat anything special that makes me give birth more.”
She called on the government and well-meaning individuals to help them take care of the kids.
