"Contrary to our expectation, the nationwide strike lasted for more than a week thereby further delaying our journey to make the burial arrangements," said her son-in-law Pastor Andrew Ozoemena."We did not realizethat God was already doing a miracle, but on the fifth day after her demise, my brother in-law called to inform us that her body had begun to grow warm.

In a dramatic turn of events, Mama sneezed and opened her eyes on the ninth day of her death, as the mortuary attendant was busy taking care of her body. Three days after this incident, that is, on 20 January, the 12th day of her being pronounced dead, she spoke to her younger brother (Pastor Amos) and even drank water and ate some food."

"Olivia was my first baby, so I didn"t really know what to expect - but I certainly didn"t think she"d be that colour," said her mother. Oliva, now six months, was born completely white because she had such a low count of haemoglobin - the chemical which carries oxygen in red blood cells - that it could not officially be classed as "blood".
