Star Nollywood Actress, Uche Elendu Celebrates Daughter And Recounts Testimony Baby Brought
One year ago, sultry actress, Uche Elendu had her second daughter, Osinachi, who she dubbed “miraculous”.
A few days ago, her little princess turned a year old and the excited mother couldn’t hide her joy. Regardless of the controversy surrounding the birth of the baby, and even the actress’ marriage, Elendu maintains that the birth of the baby relieved her of pains and torture.
Her story: “Once upon a time, my life was lit up so bright and my story changed to the glory of the Almighty God. Osinachi is her name because she is truly from God. God used her to show the world and me that He is God all by Himself. My miracle baby, a child that defied all medical results and was conceived, a child that beat ‘Endometriosis’ and saved her mother from daily torture of pain and painkillers.
“I suffered endo for seven years and I went through the most painful years of my life, taking voltaren for pain everyday of my life, and travelling all around the world seeking medical treatment. My gynecologist in South Africa said to me: ‘Uche, endometriosis has no cure, there’s no guarantee that it won’t grow back after this surgery’.
“Imagine a doctor saying this to you in the recovery room of a just concluded surgery. Oh God, I was shattered, and true to her word, one month after I got back to Nigeria, it started again and I went back to my misery. The pain of knowing you can’t conceive again, the pain of taking different sorts of medicine both herbal and orthodox to dry up the growth, the pain of going through excruciating pain in your stomach everyday. My daughter kept asking me ‘mummy when am I gonna have a sister? All my classmates have sisters’, and this I always presented to God.”
However, after all the pains and sorrows, Uche’s midnight tears were wiped away. Hear her: “I travelled to the US for another surgery. On my arrival at the hospital in the US, I paid my bills and was scheduled for surgery, my vitals and other tests were carried out, I went home and came back the next day to be operated upon only for the doctor to call me into his office and ask: ‘Uche when was your last period?’ and I said ‘last week’ and he said ‘okay, sorry, we have to do a confirmation test on you’. I said to confirm what? And he is like ‘I’ll see you in 30 minutes’.
“Then I went to give my blood sample and waited to be called in. I went into that office again and the doctor said to me: ‘Uche this is a rare case’. My heart raced, I was scared of what he wanted to say, and then he said, ‘you are 10 weeks pregnant!!!’ Oh my God how? When? Where? All I could say was ‘Jesus!!! But I’ve been seeing my regular periods, and the Lord spoke to me and said ‘I am that I am. I do what I say I will do. For your sake, I have broken protocols; I make impossibilities possible’.”
