Months after losing his second child at birth in the United States of America, popular Nigerian comedian, Seyilaw has opened up on the pain and how he was able to console his wife.
Speaking to Punch, he said, “I
don’t really want to go into much detail because my wife is healing
fast and I think it would be insensitive of me because I don’t want a
situation whereby she would be reading all those things on the pages of
the newspaper.
"I just want to tell
people that it has been four years that we have been married and that
was going to be our first baby. Just to let people understand how
sensitive it was to us. For a woman who has had to go through the pain
for over eight months only for you to discover that you are not going to
be dancing around with the baby is so painful. I don’t want to get too
emotional but I think people would understand if I don’t elaborate on
what went wrong." he said.
However,when probed further, Seyilaw said "It
is an experience I don’t want to share but at the point when we lost
the child, I could not talk to my wife because as of that time, I had a
lot running through my head. I was wondering how I could console her. I
am somebody who loves writing, so I decided to write something to
celebrate the baby and make other people encourage me.
"I
know that God is there and he would see us through but sometimes you
are weak and you need somebody to pull you out of the gloomy mood. That
was why I posted the message on the internet and a lot of encouragement
poured in. It was so emotional, encouraging and soul lifting when you
see people who you have not met tell you that they have passed the same
road and they were able to overcome and mine would not be different.
When you hear people pray for you, it makes you know that your case is
in the presence of God and He is going to do something fast about it," the comedian revealed.
