Reality television star and singer, Uriel Oputa, has made an emotional offer to adopt a baby girl discovered abandoned by the riverside in Ajaokuta, Kogi State.<\/p>\n

The baby, found weeping near the Niger Bridge by a local community leader, was reportedly left with a small bundle of clothes, a wrapper, and a few personal items.<\/p>\n

The heartbreaking scene has since drawn widespread attention, with local authorities stepping in to provide immediate care.<\/p>\n

According to eyewitness accounts, the community plans to alert the Local Government authorities while continuing to safeguard the child pending further investigations.<\/p>\n

Uriel, a two-time Big Brother Naija housemate, was quick to respond after the video surfaced online.<\/p>\n

In a heartfelt comment beneath a blog post that shared the distressing footage, she expressed a strong desire to adopt the child, pledging to provide a loving home.<\/p>\n

“Please let me have her. She will never go hungry,” Uriel wrote, stirring a wave of admiration and emotional reactions across social media platforms.<\/p>\n

The reality star\u2019s compassionate gesture has resonated with many Nigerians, given her personal journey with fertility struggles.<\/p>\n

Uriel had previously revealed her battle with amenorrhea, a condition that caused a prolonged absence of menstruation and left her facing uncertainty about motherhood.<\/p>\n

Though her public appeal has drawn attention, it remains unclear whether she has taken official steps toward formal adoption through the appropriate channels.<\/p>\n

Uriel\u2019s move has ignited fresh conversations around child welfare and adoption in Nigeria, especially concerning abandoned infants.<\/p>\n

As the story unfolds, many will be watching to see if this act of empathy transforms into a life-changing chapter for the abandoned child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
