Oshiomhole’s Viral Video : Obaseki’s Wife Speaks On Her Mis¢arriages
The wife of Edo State Governor, Mrs Betsy Obaseki, on Saturday encouraged childless women to view themselves as fruitful, full of potential and proud mothers of children who would arrive in God’s time.
Obaseki, accompanied by Mrs Ifeyinwa Ighodalo, wife of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, shared these comforting words on Saturday during a Zoom meeting with Edo women in the diaspora.
Naija News House reports that her comment was in response to a viral video featuring Sen. Adams Oshiomhole’s remarks about her being childless.
Obaseki, while addressing more than 200 women, who joined the meeting from various countries, reminded them that everyone was created by God for a purpose.
“My words of comfort to you, like myself, who have conceived and experienced miscarriages, painful stillbirths, and evacuations of babies, who died in our wombs and as a result, have no children to show for the pain we have endured.
“You are not barren. I dare to call you fruitful.
“You and I are potential and proud mothers of children that will come in God’s time. Enjoy the life God has given you.
“Take your mind off your challenge, and before you know it, children will start coming,” she said.
Obaseki highlighted that her contributions to society have gone beyond the biological aspect of motherhood.
“Being fruitful is not limited to childbearing. It is about impacting lives and creating positive change in society.
“There is no point in feeling bad. Women can fulfill God’s purpose in many ways beyond motherhood,” she added.
Obaseki also shared a message of encouragement for women who, like herself, have faced the pain of miscarriages and stillbirths, urging them not to feel discouraged or defined by their losses.
