When Mrs Dupe Helen Awosemusi welcomed twin babies on November 1, 2015, quite a lot of people thought the pregnancy was a mistake.
This was because she already passed the ‘system’s acceptable’ childbearing age. She and her husband, pastor Yemi Asegun of Wayfarer Ministries recently welcomed twin girls after being childless for 16 years after they got married.



Talking to Nigerian Tribune about her experience, the new of twin girls went extensively to explain how people called her a witch, how someone said her pregnancy was a mistake, and many more. She said:

The new parents with their bundles of joy
“There were times I missed my period and went for pregnancy test, only for the result to be negative. Naturally, one would feel bad, but we kept praying and believing that God would answer us one day.

”Shortly before we got married, my husband and I went to visit someone. The first thing the person said to welcome me was ‘Sarah’. At that time, I was not spiritually mature so I did not attach any meaning to it. I was naïve and did not get the spiritual message behind that name. I thought the person mistook the name for mine or just wanted to call me by that name.

“It was later I got the spiritual nudge to reject the name. Apparently, my father-in-law saw more than I did in being called that name and he was the one who opened my eyes to the spiritual connotation of that name when I casually told him about the name I was called.
