Nigeria records first baby by ‘freezed egg’

Nigeria has recorded the birth of its first baby conceived through the oocyte (egg) freezing protocol.
The feat was recorded by The Bridge Clinic, Lagos, on February 16, with the delivery of a male child, named Tiwatope.
The oocyte was preserved through cryopreservation, which is the cooling of cells and tissues to sub-zero temperatures to stop biological activity and preserve the cells for future use.

Governor’s Wife Pregnant Through IVF


The first lady of Oyo State, Chief (Mrs.) Kemi Alo-Akala has been in an unusually gay mood of late. The Oyo State first couple and their immediate family are expecting another baby. The mother of four-year old Olakunle is pregnant and people close to her say that her pregnancy was made possible via invitrofertilisation.

Mrs. Alao-akala, 45 who is the second wife of the Oyo State Governor, Otunba Christopher Alao-Akala, had her first born, when she was well over 40 (also by IVF) and her quest to give her hubby the second issue informed the IVF effort, which has paid off right now. The first lady had been very happy over this development having waited for four years.
