http://ce.ntv.co.ke
Teresia Mokaya is the proud mother of 26 children after bearing twins, 13 times. the 12 girls and 14 boys are now all grown up and have gone their separate ways, but Teresia has a few grandchildren to hold on to. And as Lindah Oguttu found out, the 77 year old grandmother says she has no regrets at all about having so many children in her lifetime.

she is a wise woman, and a great grandmother...some contraceptives, if used for too long, can cause disorders which include blindness. the more africa copies the west the ,ore unstable it will become.

This is a Guinness Book of Records material. I mean giving birth to twins every time (13!) never just happens. N mind u if it were not for "shemegi" @1:09 angekuwa na wangapi? How did she manage bringing them up?

What would her ideal no. of kids been?

News is really interesting: I can't imagine/know what the next day will bring...

@surambaya hahaha dont need laborers anymore but that is no vision for the future

The worlds already too overpopulated now and most people who have so many children usually can't afford to feed them or look after them properly anyway! I see nothing positive or nice in stories like these. I find them so sad, more mouths to feed.

I love her! very happy and content with life.

[wanzueni]

@suraM: Yupp here is poverty breeding more poverty....it is a vicious cycle.
