Pray for me to have children – Funke Akindele begs fans

Popular Nollywood comic actress, Funke Akindele, has made a passionate appeal to her fans over her childlessness, urging them to pray for her.

The actress cum producer recently got married to Nigerian rapper, Abdul Rasheed Bello also known as JJC Skillz in London, after her failed marriage to her first husband, Kehinde Almaro of Oloyede.

While JJC Skillz has four children from different women, Funke is yet to have her own child.

Funke who is the producer of, Jenifa’s Diary, in a statement on her Facebook page, urged fans to pray she conceived and delivered safely in her new home.

Imploring them to share her prayer around, Funke wrote: “I’m not shy to say this,” she wrote.

“PLS DONT IGNORE

“You all know I, Funke Akindele Jenifa has been married for a while now without any issue.

“Some have even laughed at me, insulted me, judged me without knowing the pains I go through. I put up every effort in entertaining my fans and Nigerians at large, I made you laugh and some would even say I’ve inspired them in one way or the other.

“Now I’m in another man’s house.

“Pls always put me in your prayers. I pray this year 2016 will not pass me by. I will not only give birth, but I will give birth safe and sound. As you write AMEN to this prayer, may God answer all your hidden prayers.

“Pls why not write Amen?

“Why not share this posts for others to say amen?

“Your AMEN is so powerful. Type Amen on my behalf.

“Even when I’m not happy, I still put up a smile face. Just for you my lovers, my fans. I love you all.”

Jigawa LGC Targets 13,104 Children For Polio Immunisation

The Dutse Local Government Council of Jigawa is targeting no fewer than 13,104 children to be immunised against polio virus in the ongoing polio immunisation in the area.

The Health Educator of the council, Alhaji Sani Yusif, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Dutse on Sunday.

Yusif said the council had received enough doses of Oral Polio Vaccines (OPVs) to conduct the exercise.

He explained that the children would be immunised against polio and five other child-killer diseases during the five-day campaign.

The health educator said that 704 trained ad hoc staff, including 528 vaccinators, were conducting the exercise.

According to him, the council has donated 50 cartons of sweet to woo children to participate in the programme.

Yusif, therefore, urged parents in the area to cooperate with the vaccinators by making their children available for the inoculation.

NAN reports that the July round of polio immunisation was inaugurated in all the 27 local government areas of the state on Saturday.
