I just wanted one and this happened
The mother of a 12-year-old-girl said she planned to have just one more baby before calling it a day but the good news finally came after years of pain and struggle.

She was quoted by the Nation:
"I could not believe it until I saw them. I was told the babies were in good condition, but they had to remain in the incubators for a whole month until each attained a weight of two kilograms."
The joyful woman revealed her late grandmother, whom she was named after, had also sired twins showing blessings in the family.
We need help now
Wambui's joy, however, was short-lived as she now ponders how she would take care of her babies, considering she and her husband are casual labourers earning a meagre KSh 300 (N1,145.70) a day.
The woman who dropped out of school after she became partially blind appealed for well-wishers and the government to help her raise the kids.
Wambui pleaded:
"What we need most at the moment are milk and clothes."
Her husband said she is currently housed at his in-laws, considering the dire situation they are in.

Another woman got hers by faith
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a Nigerian lady took to social media to announce the new additions into her family as she delivered twins successfully.
In a Twitter post, the woman @antyburger_ retweeted a tweet that was dated 2019 where she had stated how she had a feeling that she would become a mother of twins.
The overjoyed new mum appreciated God for the newborns in a tweet that has gone viral. Many wondered how she was able to decree the kids into existence just as others marvelled at the cuteness of the kids.
