Nigerian ex-beauty queen Nike Oshinowo who welcomed a set of twin via surrogacy in December 2013, in her interview with Hello Nigeria Magazine says the timing of her children’s arrival was determined by God and that it is the most beautiful thing that has happened to her since surviving her illness, Endometriosis which left her infertile for years.
Explaining why she decided on surrogacy, Nike said:
“I was… talking to my God. ‘Okay, so, here I am, is this what you want for me? Please tell me the next step. What am I supposed to do now? And I fell asleep. As I slept, I felt a tug on the bedding and I opened my eyes, there is nothing and so I look at the bottom of my bed to see a little child tugging at the bottom of my duvet. It was a little girl so I carried her, put her on my bed and she played while I slept. She would always come in my sleep and play and then I would put her on my bed, we would play and then we would sleep. The one day I thought ‘This little girl I keep seeing in my dreams, maybe I can have a child. Maybe it is God’s way of telling me its time. I take my iPad while lying in bed and I start surfing the net all the while thinking I have Endometriosis. I literally typed in Google search ‘what is the best way to have a child if you have extreme Endometriosis? I hit search and it came out!”
“I know the father of children. Is he Caucasian? Have you seen the rest of my family? That is what my family look like. I chosen to have my children look like the rest of my family. I chose to have them look like their cousins…they are all the same colour.”
