Kehinde said, “I thought I was the only one God has
refused to answer because I got married same day with my twin sister who had
her children. I cried, I prayed, I did all I knew to do medically and
spiritually but nothing was forthcoming.”

Born August 9, 1957 to a royal family, Dr Olagunju added
that: “We believed in God but I was not stampeded. Whenever anyone asked after
my wife, I replied that, ‘God is in control’ because she was never barren. She
had her first pregnancy in 1996 when we were in Sagamu but lost it. After this, we had a prayer meeting for seven
days and I believed God has done it. After that, I was not bothered again and
if there was a call for those looking for children, I never stood up.”

Kehinde reminisced that: “I was always having
miscarriages and had like four corrective surgeries, among which was that of
fibroid. There was a year I was pregnant and ran to the United Kingdom, so that
I would not be under any stress but I still lost the baby. In fact, I took the fetus
in my hand and was hysterical. I screamed and asked if I was the only person in
the world. Later, I was sedated and this was followed by many tears when I woke
up. “Really, there were times I gave up
and concluded that I would never have children of my own. There was a time I
told my husband to get another wife but….”
