Bez Idakula's wife, Bolatito tells the story of how they lost their baby girl 24 hours after she was born due to a rare medical condition.
Singer Bez and wife, Bolatito
This amazing story shared by soul singer, Bez Idakula's wife Bolatito, will strengthen your faith in God - whether you're a Muslim or Christian.
Bolatito, the beautiful daughter of ex-Governor of Oyo State, Senator Rashid Ladoja, got married to Bez in January 2014. Over a year later, precisely on March 2, 2015, she gave birth to their first child but sadly, the baby girl passed away just 24 hours after.
Sharing the full story of how she lost her first child after 42 weeks of pregnancy due to a condition called congenital diaphragmatic hernia, an extremely rare condition in which the diaphragm does not fully develop and has a hole, 'Tito said "In my daughter's case, her heart ended up being pushed to the right and her lungs barely developed. In fact, she only had one lung and that was almost undeveloped. The summary of this, they told me, is that once she was born, she won't be able to breathe on her own due to lack of lungs and the positioning of the heart".
The former Banker, who holds a BSc. in Politics and International Studies from the University of Warwick and a MSc. in Management from Imperial College London, said her decision to share her experience was not out of a desire to curry pity but to break the cycle of silence on certain issues, which are considered "almost taboo".
"One of the most kept secrets is when a woman loses a child, no one talks about it and it is almost like it never happened. People only speak about it when the woman has another child or they find out that you have lost a child. I fall in the category of the latter", she wrote on her blog.
