Woman Delivers A Frog-Like Baby in Ekiti State Nigeria
A woman believed to be in her 30s in Iyin Ekiti, Irepodun/Ifelogun Local Government Area of Ekiti State, Nigeria , has given birth to a strange looking frog-like baby.
The woman, (name withheld) and a mother of two, was pregnant for 13 months and was said to have undergone several tests at various private hospitals in the state where she was assured of a set of twins.
She was said to have delivered the strange creature at the General Hospital in the town through a Cesarean Section in the hospital at about 2.15 pm last Thursday.
The birth of the fearful baby caused a stir in the hospital as medical officials were seen discussing the strange birth , while others trooped to the hospital from the town and neighbouring communities to see the “strange baby’’
Commissioner for Health in the state, Dr. Wole Olugboji, confirmed the delivery.
His words; “There was a woman who gave birth to a strange baby at General Hospital Iyin. The baby is dead but the mother is okay.”
He said the mother of the baby was still unconscious due to the sedation administered to her before the CS to ensure she did not see the creature.
The commissioner noted that the strange birth was quickly disposed off to save the parents from embarrassment.
Vanguard gathered that the woman’s husband was present in the delivery room and approved of the quick burial of the strange creature.
A source at the hospital told Vanguard that the strange ‘baby’ has two bulging eyes and few strand of hair on the forehead. The creature had no brain. Its head was open at the back and you can see mucus inside the head instead of brain. It was a strange creature that nobody seems to have seen before.”
Another source said that the creature was very tiny at birth. The delivery was abnormal as the fluid which was drained from the mother’s body was in excess. The baby must have been deformed due to the effects of some drugs or herbs. That is why we always ask pregnant women not to take any drug unless prescribed by a qualified doctor. We cannot rule it out that the deformity might have been caused by concoction. It is possible.”

this is a medical condition called anaencephaly-meaning a fetus that develops without a brain. it is not all that rare and has been seen before in medical circles. it is easily diagnosed in utero by a simple ultrasound scan, which is why every pregnant woman should get scanned at least 3 times in the course of her pregnancy to diagnose early. exact cause is unknown, but some environmental factors like radiation have been implicated. ultrasound uses no radiation and is safe and cheap. these babies never survive beyond a few days

Risky Dee, your comment is the only one that makes sense. I actually googled something else and i was directed to this page and it caught my intrest and i was like i need to read this. Being that i am a physician, i was like, this baby has anaecephaly and then i scroll down and see that even the doctors donot know the defects and they are saying the strange creature???
If you dont have brain, you cannot breath, infact it is so easy to diagnsose, as if an ultrasound was done for the mother, there would be a presence of polyhydraminious, as without a brain, you cannot swallow and all the amniotic fluid would accumulate.
This is sad. Please my naija people, most things have explanations, not everything is caused by people, these so called wicked women and men should do something to make naija a beter place na.

Thanks you. I hope the so called commissioner for health read your post. Can you imagine a medical Dr compounding the pains of the parents by suggesting they are culpable and that it is a situation to be ashamed of, instead of enlightening them.
