Andrew and Titi Edet have both been married for more than six years without a child .Titi would cry her heart out each time she sees her menstrual period. “I have missed my period again,” she muttered sorrowfully.

They have travelled to India, United State, South Africa making over sixteen round trips. The cost of the treatment and hospitality in monetary terms when put together on a global scale amounts to several hundred of millions in hard currency which leaves the Nigeria's shore.
Any mistake whereby large amount of monies leaves the shores of the country, calls for public concern because of it coming from our hard earned internal revenue.
