~~~~TESTIMONY CORNER~~~~ 68 YEAR OLD WOMAN GIVES BIRTH TO TWINS IN NIGERIA A Nigerian woman has given birth to twins — a boy and a girl — at the age of 68. Margaret Adenuga went through three previous IVF procedures before finally having twins. Her husband Noah Adenuga, 77, told CNN the couple, who married in 1974, had long desired to have a child of their own. Adenuga said they never gave up even after the failed attempts. The retired stock auditor told CNN, "I am a dreamer, and I was convinced this particular dream of ours will come to pass." The babies were delivered via caesarian section at 37 weeks last Tuesday at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) but the hospital only recently made the news public to give the first-time mother time to recuperate, it said. Dr. Adeyemi Okunowo, who delivered the babies, told CNN a specialist team was assembled at the hospital to monitor the pregnancy because of her age. "As an elderly woman and a first-time mo...
