Cobhams Asuquo’s Wife Speaks On Raising A Visually Impaired Son
Wife to popular Nigerian Musician, Cobhams Asuquo, Ojuolape, has opened up on secrets about her life, including her double survival as wife to a Visually Impaired Singer and taking care of a son who has the same disability.
According to her, the first four months as a new mom was a “smooth” journey until she discovered her son was born blind.
In a recent interview, the mother of two stated that the period was a delicate one for her, as it wasn’t an expected discovery considering how international doctor’s assured her of the child’s supposed normal status.
She said: “The elephant in the room in my life in the past six years is pretty much… So, I got married, and we got pregnant. My pregnancy was fantastic, I didn’t even know I was pregnant, found out I was pregnant, still wasn’t sure I was pregnant because I didn’t have any symptoms.
“Everything was so smooth. And then fast forward to four months after my son was born and the doctor was like ‘his eyes are not following’ and I was like, ‘What do you mean he’s not following?’ “And then suddenly, as a mother, your heart just starts palpitating.”
After multiple tests abroad and in Nigeria, it was then discovered that the little one was born visually impaired.
The young boy, David, 7, who is growing really fast has taken over from his father as a brilliant pianist.
