Nigerian woman abandoned by husband because she and their kids have blue eyes (video)

In an interview with The PUNCH, 30-year-old Azeez said her husband started acting differently when she gave birth to the two kids

Newsroom August 20 10:33

The story of Risikat Azeez, a young Nigerian woman abandoned by her husband because she and their two kids have blue eyes has taken the internet by storm. The woman who lives in the Nigerian state of Kwara was reportedly dumped by her husband, AbdulWasiu Omo-Dada.

In an interview with The PUNCH, 30-year-old Azeez said her husband started acting differently when she gave birth to the two kids with the same set of eyeballs. “He totally changed and he would shut me up and walk out on me whenever I tried to start a conversation with him”.

She sees clearly with her eyes, despite the colour.

Narrating her ordeal of living with blue eyes, a rare phenomenon in Nigeria and Africa, the mother of two, said, “I was born with these eyes and I also gave birth to my children with the same pair of eyes. Since I was born, I have never had any challenges with my eyes. I have never been to the hospital due to any discomfort. I thank God”.
