 STATEHOUSE PRESS STATEMENT PRESIDENT TINUBU'S MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCE TO CHIMAMANDA ADICHIE AND HER FAMILY   With a deep sense of grief, I condole with Ms Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, her husband, Dr Ivara Esege, and the entire family on the passing of their son, Nkanu Nnamdi.   As a parent myself who has suffered the loss of a loved one, no grief is as devastating as losing a child.   I empathise with the family at this difficult time, and I mourn this sad loss with them.   Ms Adichie is a literary icon who has brought joy and light to many homes globally, and I pray she and her family find strength in the Almighty in this trying hour.   My prayers are with the family.   Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Federal Republic of Nigeria January 8, 2026

FORMER CONJOINED TWINS COMPETE AS CHEERLEADERS NEARLY A DECADE AFTER GROUNDBREAKING SURGERY. (PHOTO).


 Former conjoined twins compete as cheerleaders nearly a decade after groundbreaking surgery

CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS - Nearly a decade after a pioneering surgery at Driscoll Children’s Hospital, two former conjoined twins from Brownsville are back in Corpus Christi, this time making headlines as cheerleaders.

Ximena and Scarlett Hernandez Ambriz were born in 2016 conjoined at the pelvis, one of three sisters in their family, alongside triplet Catalina. The girls underwent a complex separation surgery that gave them the chance to live independently. Doctors had initially warned the family that it was uncertain whether the twins would ever walk. Today, not only can they walk, but they are also dancing and competing in a state cheerleading competition, with their mother serving as head coach. Their performance incorporates music and choreography that reflects their family’s journey, culminating in a final pose symbolizing the start of their remarkable story.

Michelle Horine, the girls’ madrina, or godmother, has been part of their journey since the beginning, visiting them in the NICU while they were still conjoined and supporting the family through the surgery. The triplets, along with their mother and grandmother, spent over a year living at the Ronald McDonald House during Ximena and Scarlett’s recovery. Silvia Hernandez Ambriz recalled the unwavering support: “When we cried, they cried with us. We never felt alone.”

Reflecting on the surgery, Silvia said it felt like her daughters were “born again,” and she hopes their story inspires other children with medical challenges to persevere. Now, nearly ten years later, the Hernandez Ambriz family is ready to take the stage again — this time under the bright lights of competition, celebrating life, resilience, and the journey they’ve shared together.
