According to sources, the woman has allegedly had 10 pregnancies with her husband and given birth to several multiples, including seven sets of twins and three sets of triplets.
In a video on X, the person narrating the situation indicated that even though the mother of 23 has tried to prevent further pregnancies through family planning, she has been unsuccessful.
The pregnant woman sat with some of her children while they were being videoed, with her appearance suggesting she was exhausted, although she did not say anything.
The father of the children was not featured in the video, raising more questions about the family's situation.

"There's a church in Ghana that prohibits the use of contraceptives. She looks like a church member. Most of the members in that church are not well-to-do, but they give birth to plenty due to their belief. I've stayed with some before."

"It’s funny 😆 but sad 😞 how some people here are brainwashed. Even those countries that brainwashed you guys that a population bust is not good are now going to extreme lengths to increase childbirth. Countries like Italy 🇮🇹, China 🇨🇳, Japan 🇯🇵, South Korea 🇰🇷 and the like."

"She has not sinned. She has not committed any crimes. She hasn’t killed her kids as some of you do through abortions. She hasn’t used toys. She only obeys one command from her maker: 'replenish the earth.' Her system defies medical odds, that’s all. If you have help her."
