AMAZING: Nigerian conjoined twins separated after 13-hour surgery in India [PHOTOS]

Nigerian conjoined twins separated after 13-hour surgery in Indian

Nigerian twins joined at the lower abdomen and hips were successfully operated upon and separated at the B.L. Kapur (BLK) super-speciality hospital after a 13-hour surgery.
The twin girls – Hussaina and Hassana Badaru shared their spinal cords, lower intestinal tract and genitourinary tracts. This meant that they had one common passage for fecal matter and another one for passing urine.
“The separation surgery took us 13 hours, with further surgery of five hours dedicated to reconstruction. The separation was a big challenge as they had unusual sharing of the alimentary canal and the nervous system,” said Prashant Jain, one of the experts performing the surgery.
“The girls were seven months old when they were brought to the BLK Hospital. They were suffering from ‘pygopagus’, a case in which the babies are joined at the sacral region and the hips. This is considered to be the rarest of rare case that occurs in 50,000 or 100,000 births,” said Praneet Kumar of BLK Hospital.

Nigerian Billionaire: Our children are more important than £37m divorce

Nigerian Billionaire: Our children are more important than £37m divorce

A multi-millionaire oil trader accused of forcing his wife to live on £150-a-week in a bitterly contested divorce battle today said today he is only thinking of his children.
Michael Prest spoke out with the Supreme Court due to return a potential landmark judgment on the legal wrangle with his ex-wife Yasmin Prest.
He claimed he was “disappointed” rather than angered by his wife’s actions and his biggest concern has always been the impact of the coverage of the case on the couple’s four children.
He adds that he could never be angry with his wife as she has given him the biggest treasure in his life - his four children.
“The part that upsets me is what my children read in the newspapers about their father,” said Mr Prest, who was born in Nigeria but brought up in the UK and educated at leading independent school Downside.
