    I have never told any girl to have abortion- Davido

    Nigerian pop star, Davido may still be engulfed in another baby mama drama, but the singer has said he has never told any girl to have abortion. Speaking in a recent interview with Guardian, he said he is not in support of having babies outside wedlock, but babies are a blessing.

    In his words:” All those people out there saying I have too many babies, do you know how many babies they have killed? At least I can confidently say I have never told any girl to have an abortion. I am not saying having a baby without marriage is good, but to me babies are blessings.

    When asked to talk about the myriad of rumours about him, he said people always attack him, but he hits them back with a song

    “You know they always attack me, people always say s*** about me but I always hit them back with the music, which is the most important thing. People always say my dad is giving me money when was the last time my dad gave me money? All the kids came together, we bought our dad a N409 million car for his birthday”.

    50-yr-old Janet jackson gives birth to first child

    Janet Jackson and her husband Wissam Al Mana have welcomed their first child, a son named Eissa.
    A representative for the singer told People that the couple was “thrilled to welcome their new son Eissa Al Mana into the world” on Tuesday, and that Jackson “had a stress-free healthy delivery and is resting comfortably.”

    Jackson, 50, announced she was postponing her world tour in April in order to plan her family. She officially announced her pregnancy in October, saying she and her husband, a Qatari businessman, “thank God for our blessing.”

    Jackson and Al Mana married in 2012, though they did not reveal their marriage publicly until 2013.

    “She’ll be a great mother because she is very tough, but I tell her, if you need any parenting skills please let me know, because I’m the best diaper changer on this planet” says a source close to the family told TIME.

    Jackson, the fiercely private youngest child of the famed Jackson singing family, has not given any details of the pregnancy or where the baby was born.

    She had two previous marriages: a year-long union with soul singer James DeBarge in the mid 1980s, and to dancer Rene Elizondo Jr. from 1991-2000.

  • LUTH doctors confirm custody of baby with two heads

    The management of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, Idiaraba, Lagos, yesterday confirmed that a set of twins born with two heads and one body were in their custody.

    A report published in Vanguard states that top management of the hospital is working on how to achieve optimum health for them.

    It could be recalled that the said baby was delivered at a private hospital in Ogudu area of Lagos, with two heads, a neck, chest, two legs and two hands, a condition medical experts described as rare and known as Parapagus.

    Parapagus is a rare form of partial twinning where there are two heads and two necks side by side on one torso.

    Earlier, the Public Relation Officer of the hospital, Mr Kelechi Otuneme had confirmed that the baby was in their custody but declined further comment on the matter.

    A Consultant Paediatric Physician, who spoke on the condition of anonymity with Vanguard, explained that although, he was yet to be briefed on the baby, “the baby is supposed to be an identical twin but in the course of formation were divided up to their head while the remaining part were co-joined.

    On whether it would be necessary to fly them abroad, the consultant paediatric said doing that would amount to a waste of resources.

    His words, “It is not all co-joined twins that can be separated once they share vital organs such as the heart, the liver and intestines.”

    According to medical doctors at Med-In Specialist Hospital, Osogbo Street in Ogudu area of Lagos who took the delivery said the baby was born around 6:30PM on Tuesday through an elective caesarean section.
