"It's been traumatising. Especially when our younger siblings were getting married years after our wedding, conceiving and giving birth to children.
"We did all we could but. We spent all our life savings seeking treatments both medical and traditional."

Sampson says he needs a job

The new father said in a tweet that he is still looking for a job to be able to take care of his family properly.

He revealed that his wife has been the one taking care of the family from money made from her shop. He said he has applied for numerous jobs but has been unsuccessful.

His words:

"I have applied to hundreds of positions but couldn't get a job despite knowing my job so well with rich experience. My wife has been footing the bills from the proceeds of her shop. She sells drinks."
