Shocker as 19-Year-old Lady Gives Birth To Twins With 2 Different Fathers

Shocker as 19-Year-old Lady Gives Birth To Twins With 2 Different Fathers

Brazilian woman, 19, ‘gives birth to twins with DIFFERENT fathers after having sex with two men on the same day’

The woman, who wants to remain anonymous but is from Mineiros, Brazil, had sex with two different men on the same day and became pregnant from both of them.

A woman has given birth to twins with different biological fathers.

According to DailyMail, the 19-year-old woman is from Brazil.

It was gathered that the woman had sex with with both men on the same day.

The young mum took a paternity test to confirm who the father of her babies was and she was astonished when she discovered her babies were from two different men.

The woman, who wants to remain anonymous but is from Mineiros, Brazil, had sex with two different men on the same day and became pregnant from both of them, according to local media.

She reportedly said: “I was surprised by the results. I didn’t know this could happen. They are very similar.”

Her doctor, identified as Tulio Jorge Franco, said that her case is extremely rare – and described it as a “one in a million” situation.

The medic said there are only around 20 other cases worldwide of heteroparental superfecundation, as it is known scientifically.

It occurs when a second ova released during the same menstrual cycle is additionally fertilised by the sperm cells of a different man in separate s3xual intercourse, the National Library of Medicine explains.

The young mum’s doctor reportedly said: “It is possible to happen when two eggs from the same mother are fertilised by different men. The babies share the mother’s genetic material, but they grow in different placentas.”

He added: “It’s extremely rare. It’s one in a million. I never imagined that I would see a case like this in my life.”

The woman is said to have explained that her babies look very similar but after eight months, doubts began to emerge about who the father was.

So when they were eight months old, she got DNA from the man she thought was the father.

However, the test only came back as a positive match for one of her two children.

She did the test again but the result was again positive for just one child.

That is when she remembered that she had had intercourse with another man that day.

She said: “I remembered that I had sex with another man and called him to take the test, which was positive.”

The babies are now 16-month-old tots but the case was only revealed by the doctor this week, according to local media.

The mum said that one of the two men is officially registering at the registry office and taking care of both children.

The teenage mum said: “He takes care of both of them, helps me a lot to create and gives them all the necessary support they need.”

“She was a well-loved sovereign with a strong sense of duty and service, a champion of social change and a protagonist of modern Britain.

“My thoughts and prayers are with the people and government of the United Kingdom and, importantly, the @RoyalFamily. May the soul of the Queen Rest in Peace. –AA.”

Britain’s new monarch, King Charles III, addressed a mourning nation and the Commonwealth for the first time Friday, a day after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

Here is his statement, pre-recorded in the Blue Drawing Room in Buckingham Palace during the afternoon and broadcast at 6:00 pm on Friday.

Read full speech below:

I speak to you today with feelings of profound sorrow. Throughout her life, Her Majesty the Queen — my beloved Mother – was an inspiration and example to me and to all my family, and we owe her the most heartfelt debt any family can owe to their mother; for her love, affection, guidance, understanding and example.

Queen Elizabeth’s was a life well lived, a promise with destiny kept, and she is mourned most deeply in her passing. That promise of lifelong service I renew to you all today.

Alongside the personal grief that all my family are feeling, we also share with so many of you in the United Kingdom, in all the countries where the queen was head of state, in the Commonwealth and across the world, a deep sense of gratitude for the more than 70 years in which my mother, as queen, served the people of so many nations.

In 1947, on her 21st birthday, she pledged in a broadcast from Cape Town to the Commonwealth to devote her life, whether it be short or long, to the service of her people.

That was more than a promise: it was a profound personal commitment which defined her whole life. She made sacrifices for duty.

Her dedication and devotion as sovereign never wavered, through times of change and progress, through times of joy and celebration, and through times of sadness and loss.

In her life of service, we saw that abiding love of tradition, together with that fearless embrace of progress, which make us great as nations. The affection, admiration and respect she inspired became the hallmark of her reign.

And, as every member of my family can testify, she combined these qualities with warmth, humour and an unerring ability always to see the best in people.

I pay tribute to my mother’s memory and I honour her life of service. I know that her death brings great sadness to so many of you and I share that sense of loss, beyond measure, with you all.

When the queen came to the throne, Britain and the world were still coping with the privations and aftermath of the Second World War, and still living by the conventions of earlier times.

In the course of the last 70 years, we have seen our society become one of many cultures and many faiths.

The institutions of the State have changed in turn. But, through all changes and challenges, our nation and the wider family of Realms — of whose talents, traditions and achievements I am so inexpressibly proud — have prospered and flourished. Our values have remained, and must remain, constant.

The role and the duties of monarchy also remain, as does the Sovereign’s particular relationship and responsibility towards the Church of England — the Church in which my own faith is so deeply rooted.

In that faith, and the values it inspires, I have been brought up to cherish a sense of duty to others, and to hold in the greatest respect the precious traditions, freedoms and responsibilities of our unique history and our system of parliamentary government.

As the queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, I too now solemnly pledge myself, throughout the remaining time God grants me, to uphold the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation.

And wherever you may live in the United Kingdom, or in the Realms and territories across the world, and whatever may be your background or beliefs, I shall endeavour to serve you with loyalty, respect and love, as I have throughout my life.

My life will of course change as I take up my new responsibilities.

It will no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time and energies to the charities and issues for which I care so deeply. But I know this important work will go on in the trusted hands of others.

This is also a time of change for my family. I count on the loving help of my darling wife, Camilla.

In recognition of her own loyal public service since our marriage 17 years ago, she becomes my Queen Consort.

I know she will bring to the demands of her new role the steadfast devotion to duty on which I have come to rely so much.

As my heir, William now assumes the Scottish titles which have meant so much to me.

He succeeds me as Duke of Cornwall and takes on the responsibilities for the Duchy of Cornwall which I have undertaken for more than five decades.

Today, I am proud to create him Prince of Wales, Tywysog Cymru, the country whose title I have been so greatly privileged to bear during so much of my life and duty.

“With Catherine beside him, our new Prince and Princess of Wales will, I know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the centre ground where vital help can be given.

I want also to express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas.

In a little over a week’s time, we will come together as a nation, as a Commonwealth and indeed a global community, to lay my beloved mother to rest.

In our sorrow, let us remember and draw strength from the light of her example.

On behalf of all my family, I can only offer the most sincere and heartfelt thanks for your condolences and support.

They mean more to me than I can ever possibly express.

And to my darling Mama, as you begin your last great journey to join my dear late Papa, I want simply to say this: thank you.

Thank you for your love and devotion to our family and to the family of nations you have served so diligently all these years.

May ‘flights of angels sing thee to thy rest’, the statement added.

Featured Article: Gesi's Day With Tompolo_By Ekanpou Enewaridideke

Featured Article: Gesi's Day With Tompolo_By Ekanpou Enewaridideke 

The world is the designated place of peaceful cohabitation where people do travel from one place to another from time to time in goal-pursuit and goal-actualisation but not without some financial constraints, preparation and capability. Yet there are people who are at liberty to travel without a single kobo spent because they are above the law and so can never be encumbered by any law made by man. They are called thoughts which everybody has and commands in abundance for wish-fulfillment in the secular space.   

Thoughts are therefore travellers that turn the mind into a river on which they go canoeing to every chosen part of their imaginative projections. Thoughts are highly developed spiritual beings that carry the magical capability to project themselves unto any space of imagination long before the actual visible projection begins. Gesi’s thoughts had long flown to Oporoza town in Gbaramatu Kingdom before the actual flight to that serene space began.

Gesi, a mentally alert, agile and sound S.S.S 1 student of Good Citizens College, Warri, had long lived with one vision without bowing to distractions. Between his two palms this vision was encased and cupped. A strange hollowness, emptiness and frailty he had often felt over the years while the vision lived with him without a space yielded for the vision to be actualised. The vision is to draw High Chief Tompolo, present a portrait to him and have a historically proud handshake with Tompolo wherever he is in the world – I mean High Chief Ekpemupolo Government in whose support Chief Boro Opudu stands diametrically opposed to any discordant voice raised as regards the pipeline surveillance contract recently awarded to Tompolo as it is a continuation of the tradition when it was given to other persons in the past depending on the final decision of the Federal Government of Nigeria.

The vision of Gesi for Tompolo, the freedom/development activist recently given pipeline surveillance contract in the Niger Delta, is driven by a passion to tell Tompolo’s story artistically and occupy a space in the chronicles of the freedom activist called Tompolo. Gesi, the young fine artist who sees Leonardo da Vinci(1452-1519) and Bruce Obomeyoma Onobrakpeya(1932 till date) as models he would like to pattern his envisioned artistic life upon, also has a vision to have a handshake with Tompolo and tell his story from artistic perspective. At school and everywhere Tompolo’s name rang loud bell as a freedom/development activist whose vision it is to see the Niger Delta region transformed in a proportionate degree of responsiveness to its natural endowment – which is today reflected in the contractual opportunity given to Tompolo to secure all the pipelines in the Niger Delta and put an end to illegal oil bunkering and pave the way for increased crude oil output in Nigeria as a basis for the Federal Government of Nigeria to tackle the developmental challenges in the Niger Delta and beyond. It is this man whose story Gesi had heard much about right from J.S.S. 1 that he had developed a vision to draw and paint and meet physically for a historic handshake. 

To actualise his vision of having a handshake with Tompolo, Gesi got ready an artistic portrait of Tompolo. With the artistic portrait of Tompolo where he is beautifully drawn, a day to see Tompolo was fixed after contact. When the journey to Oporoza – the home of Tompolo – began on the chosen day, Gesi pushed forward some fears which revolved around the possibility of meeting Tompolo. To him, Tompolo had always been a host to dignitaries from Nigeria and beyond such as presidents, governors, ambassadors, ministers, senators, etc. Even with Tompolo’s assurance that he would be available, the boy turned a doubting Thomas because he felt he was Mr. Nobody compared to the stream of dignitaries coming to see Tompolo. With explanations piled upon explanations, Gesi’s fears were allayed to an extent and the actual journey to Tompolo's Serene and mystically inspiring abode in Oporoza accidentally began at a time the entire atmosphere was held captive by the aroma of the pipeline surveillance contract awarded to Tompolo over which some self-styled Amalgamated Arewa Youths cavilled at recently though promptly condemned and dismissed in unambiguous language as a corresponding rejoinder or repartee by a Coalition of Arewa Civil organisations in the North.

At twelve o’clock on the 14  of August 2022, Gesi was already in Oporoza town and as soon as he disembarked from the speedboat unto the soil of Oporoza town, a jeep was already waiting for Gesi. Having got into the waiting jeep, Gesi was chauffeured to the home of Tompolo. The artistic portrait was eventually presented to him, followed by that historic handshake long desired and sought by Gesi. Tompolo treated Gesi like an ambassador from a foreign country. Gesi’s joy was immeasurable and his inside full of untold stories woven around Tompolo. From time to time Gesi wondered if this was that Tompolo the freedom/development activist who was recently given pipeline surveillance contract by the Federal Government of Nigeria. The S.S.S 1 boy  called Gesi the fine artist was nonplussed by Tompolo’s simplicity,liveliness, imperturbability, calmness, friendliness and approachability  -  appreciable qualities Gesi never thought High Chief Tompolo was capable of displaying right before his very two eyes though the likes of Chief Boro Opudu and Timiebi Maika know that those are intrinsic qualities always associated with Tompolo.

That Tompolo was calm, lively, cheerful, free, friendly, accommodating and conversational gave Gesi the first shocker because his wild expectations were far from the actuality he saw on arrival. Again and again, Gesi doubted if this was actually the Tompolo he had heard of. He confessed that Tompolo was too friendly, free and calm for his liking. With the name Tompolo journeying across all the creeks and cities in the world, Gesi thought he would meet a fear-inspiring, inscrutable and complex personality who would wear a patronizing mien in the company of people. He was not too sure he would be privileged to see Tompolo that day; and when he eventually saw him, he expected to meet a very mighty, tall, grey-haired and heavily-bearded man with a protruding stomach but what he saw was a very simple man who made him feel at ease in every dimension. He was not awed by Tompolo’s look. ‘Is this the man called Tompolo?’ Gesi repeatedly asked in whispers away from the ears of Tompolo.

First on arrival in Oporoza after being chauffeured to Tompolo's residence, Gesi was treated to a variety of food from which he chose and ate his fill and when he was filled to the brim with his choice food like an overflown river bank  -    immediately blessed with instantaneous protruding stomach he had earlier imaginatively associated with Tompolo   -  Tompolo formally gave him a memorable welcome pleasantries. Gesi journeyed joyfully back to Warri after a memorable conversation with Tompolo as the last part of the visit. 

At one examination papers are endlessly thrown on earth. Some of these examination papers are purposely prepared and sealed by life to be given to life-candidates as phased tests for the candidates to progress to the peak of their careers. Sometimes these examination papers are prepared and set by the individual to enhance his progression to the envisioned path. So in life there are two categories of examination papers. Meeting Tompolo is an examination set and written by Gesi as an essential component of his growth vision on earth and it is among the most difficult examination papers he had to write and move to the next page of his incarnation on earth. And rather in a grand style Gesi wrote Tompolo examination paper as his incarnation-enhancer on earth emanating from his own envisioned creation and projection and passed creditably. Bravo, great Gesi the fine artist!

Conversational 

engagement with Gesi was not the last part of Tompolo’s stay with him. Tompolo whispered something into my ears about Gesi Ekanpou and heartily wished us safe journey back to Warri but because the intestines, entrails, of crocodile are tabooed to be cut open in the public, the last words of Tompolo to Gesi must not be revealed though the words revolved around Gesi’s transformation dream. 

However, back to Warri in the office of Dr. Paul Bebenimibo the Desopadec Commissioner, an artistic portrait was also presented to him by Gesi in recognition of Dr. Paul Bebenimibo’s philosophy of approachability and humility in the performance of his job as a commissioner. It was another memorable session with Dr. Paul Bebenimibo who volunteered himself as one of the designated canoes for Gesi's transformation vision through arts. 

For Gesi who eventually met Tompolo on 14 August 2022 and had historic handshake with him followed by an extended visit to Dr. Paul Bebeninbo, it was a memorable day for Gesi because one of his visions in life was actualised that day. For centuries the story of Tompolo will be told by both the young and the old because he does not discriminate between the young and the old, the small and the big, the rich and the poor as it was clearly demonstrated when Tompolo was met at last by Gesi. It is perhaps this uniqueness in Tompolo that Chief Boro Opudu, the Chairman of Delta State Waterways and Land Security Committee, holds the view that no voice of opposition should be raised at High Chief Ekpemupolo Government Oweizide (Tompolo) now that he has been given a pipeline surveillance contract in the Niger Delta because the man has the needed capacity to execute the contract to the economically beneficial admiration of the Federal Government of Nigeria.

2023: Ex-Militant Leader, Vwaghie Throws Weight Behind Omo-Agege

2023: Ex-Militant Leader, Vwaghie Throws Weight Behind Omo-Agege 

...... Appeals to Deltans to massively vote for Omo-Agege come 2023 Delta Guber elections

Francis Tayor 

Warri ____ The founder of Divine Bethel Bible Church, World wide who is also a notable ex-militant leader in the struggle for a better and more prosperous Niger Delta Region, Gen. Abraham Vwaghie, popularly known as (Father 1), has thrown his weight behind Delta State APC Governorship Candidate for 2023 general elections, His Excellency, distinguished Sen. Ovie Omo-Agege, the Obarisi of Urhobo Land, described the Nigerian Deputy Senate President as the best candidate ever thrusted up by the political system in the annals of the oil-rich state.

The preacher in the vineyard stated this in a statement made available to newsmen in Sapele on Tuesday where he described the lawmaker in glowing terms, saying his representative aptitude and the zeal to serve his people is weird, describing him as a visionary statesman, a virtue he noted is strange in the nation’s political space.

The Ummadja, Udu Local Government-born cleric noted that never in the history of the political representation in the state or Senatorial level has an ‘Omo-Agege’ been seen or felt in the state particularly in his developmental drives which he said has endeared him to all, across social divides.

Specifically, the former warlord cited reasons that gives DSP Omo-Agege wide margin above his contemporaries in the race to the Asaba Government House to include: his dexterity and thirst for massive infrastructure development of not only his constituency but the entire state.

To the preacher and evangelist, Senator Omo-Agege has long passed the test of quality representation never seen in the state describing his light up Delta project as a second to none adding that the rural communities where light never got to since civilisation now enjoy electricity courtesy of the man he described as the bride of delta electorates.

Describing Senator Omo-Agege as the pride of the 9th National Assembly and best to happen to the good people of Delta state, Vwaghie called on the electorates to rally support for the man who he noted,  initiated the Federal Polytechnic, Orogun, Ughelli North LGA; the University of Agriculture and Technology, Aboh in Ndokwa East, the man who he said is executing a multi million naira multiple projects for his Alma mater in Obinomba, Ukwani Local Government area, and other life changing projects initiated by the Orogun-born politician in Bomadi, Isoko land and others too numerous to mention.

According to him, DSP Omo-Agege has paid his dues and deserves to be rewarded with overwhelming support by all Deltans as the 2023 general elections gather momentum adding that: “to whom much is given, much is expected.”

“I call on Deltans to support and show solidarity to our DSP Omo-Agege who makes us proud as a people on daily basis. He is a detribalised politician and statesman who doesn’t pander to primordial sentiments in his drive to better the life of the people. In his mind, the people of our state are one indivisible entity which informs his desire for even development being pivoted by him across the state.

“In Omo-Agege we have a pan Niger Deltan and workaholic with vision and mission to develop every nook and cranny of our state and this is why he is the best and we owe him a duty of support and solidarity. It’s my clarion call that the good people of our state massively queue behind this rare gem who is a gift from God to us all.”

The preacher in the vineyard stated, as he called on the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC to uphold its anti corruption and anti rigging templates before, during and after the elections to enable the oil-rich state “democratise for the first time.”, the statement added.

ISOKO YOUTH ASSEMBLY WORLDWIDE CONGRATULATE TOMPOLO ON SURVEILLANCE CONTRACT AND SHUN

The Baseless-Paid Protest By Isoko Miscreants, My Ultimate Stiffen Submission.

Fellow Compatriots, 

Solidarity greetings to all gallant egalitarian youth of Isoko extraction.

Its no more news that the multi-billion naira oil pipeline surveillance contract that has been re-awarded to Tompolo has in different dimension raised numerous dust, the worse of it was the baseless-paid protest carried out by a specific illegal clique of Isoko youths with overwhelmed precarious motives filled with miscarriaged information on circlical sentiment.

Sequel to this aforesaid purported surveillance protest with regard the vigorous expectant of Isoko nation that was claimed to have allegedly hijacked, It is my ultimate stiffen submission to clear the dusting air that, I have widely and tactically consulted concerned stakeholders of goodwill, all indication has it that Isoko interest is never in jeopardy in any way, as such, the protest is tagged: baseless, participated by paid miscreants under an unverifiable clique by law, with the intention to achieve their thoughtful precarious motives through jungle justice. A planned-paid protest which expresses the view-point of their paid master(s). 

I wish to deposit in strong term that, as the foremost legitimate leader of Isoko youth from the only legalized "Isoko Youth Assembly - IYA Worldwide", a distinct apex body currently and lawfully housing all youth of Isoko origin globally, COMR ONORIODE OMAGUFI, do hereby absolutely DISASSOCIATE self and that of my group and as well DENOUNCE every flashy utterances that were uttered at that sponsored protest, as such demonstrations does not reflect the true identity of law abiding and peaceful conduct of Isoko youth at any level. 

Let me use this opportunity to officially congratulate the most successful legendary, and fearless Niger-Deltan warlord, High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpomupolo, popularly known as Tompolo over his multi-billion naira Oil Pipeline Surveillance Contract renewal by the Federal Government of Nigeria.

It is no doubt this contract that was justly and jointly signed by both the Federal government and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Limited having considered critically the relevance of interdependence of politics in the Nigerian economic where authority allocations of societal values are made, values of scarce symbolic and material goods, and because such values are not in sufficient supply in every society, therefore, in order to satisfy all the needs and demands, there is inevitable competition and conflict. Then, by involving the resolutions of such conflicts; choices must be made and this was the major reason both the federal government and NNPC  have again looked into the oil sector, studied the system and region, counted their loses and resulted to re-award the oil pipeline surveillance contract to the most creekly influential personality to help in tackling and ending illegal bunkering, illegal refining, and other forms of oil theft in the Niger Delta Region.

Notwithstanding, I reaffirm my commitment to selflessly represent the gallant Isoko youths who meant well for our motherland to firmly stand and pursue this oil pipeline surveillance contract to ensure that the portion of Isoko gets to her, on this basis, Isoko Youth Assembly - IYA have solidly queued behind and support the number one iron hand in the Niger Delta struggle, GOC Tompolo, as he generally coordinate the oil pipeline resolution across the nine states that made up the Niger Delta Region with strong modality to arrest discrepant pollution tantamount to the people's health, even as I beckon on same to make use of down to earth technicians that are so conversant with the game through this lawful platform to represent Isoko nation at the helm of strategic eagle gathering for a standardize surveillance watertight workforce.

Signed

Comrade Onoriode Omagufi, President Isoko Youth Assembly - IYA Worldwide.
