 Florida couple accuse fertility clinic of using stranger’s sperm for daughter’s embryo in IVF mix-up: ‘Betrayed’ A Florida couple has accused a fertility clinic of using another man’s sperm to create their daughter’s embryo — as their dream of being biological parents was upended when they learned of their child’s DNA. Joshua and Natalie Strong alleged that Brown Fertility clinic officials in Jacksonville, Fla., including Medical Director Dr. Samuel Brown and 10 other defendants, caused the mix-up that resulted in their 1-year-old daughter’s biological father being a stranger, according to a lawsuit obtained by The Post. “They trusted Brown Fertility, as well as its founder and owner, Samuel E. Brown, M.D., with the family they hoped to build. That trust was betrayed,” the couple said in the lawsuit filed in Duval County Circuit Court Thursday. “The Strongs are now raising a daughter whose paternity test confirms that another man, not Joshua, fathered her.” The married couple had ...

 Anambra Government targets mineral resources for economic, industrial development


The Anambra State government said it is stepping up efforts to harness the State’s abundant mineral resources to boost Nigeria’s economic and industrial development.


Speaking in an interview in Awka, the Managing Director of Anambra State Solid Mineral Development Company Limited, Professor Charles Ofoegbu, said the State is richly endowed with a variety of commercially valuable minerals that could significantly contribute to agriculture, infrastructure, and industrial growth.


Ofoegbu noted that illegal mining activities remain a major challenge, with multiple unregulated bodies collecting revenues outside the law.


“The existence of several regulatory organs imposing compliance arbitrarily, without certification from the Council of Mining Engineers and Geoscientists (COMEG), has created inefficiencies and revenue leakages,” he said.


He explained that the recent Solid Mineral Reforms are designed to regulate mining operations, covering procedures for obtaining mining leases, environmental safeguards, corporate social responsibility, and community development plans.


“The abundant minerals in the State are mostly illegally mined, with little or no regulation, resulting in financial losses for the government,” Ofoegbu said


“The abundant minerals in the State are mostly illegally mined, with little or no regulation, resulting in financial losses for the government,” Ofoegbu said.


Anambra State is reported to have significant deposits of kaolin (Ukpor, Ozubulu), clay/bentonite (Achama-Agu), ironstone/sand (Uga, Ogbunike, Nsugbe, Abagana, Owerre-Ezukala), laterite (Umunya, Enugwu-Agidi, Ezinifite, Awka Ihedi, Utuh), river sand (River Niger and Anambra River banks), gravel (Nsugbe, Ogbunka, Abagana), plaster sand (Nanka, Agu-Amawbia, Nsugbe), and lignite/brown coal (Ukpor, Oba, Oraifite, Akwukwu, Ozubulu, Nnewi).


According to Ofoegbu, the geology of the State spans the Mamu Formation (Senonian), Paleocene (Ebenebe), Ameki Formation (Nanja Sand/Nsugbe), and Oligocene-Miocene (Omambala/Anambra River), providing a strong foundation for sustainable mining development.


However, he acknowledged challenges, including limited infrastructure for the extraction, processing, and transportation of minerals, environmental degradation, and pollution.


Ofoegbu said modern technology is gradually replacing traditional excavation methods, addressing health risks and occupational hazards faced by miners.


Ofoegbu said the state government is committed to addressing infrastructure gaps, environmental concerns, and investment needs to fully unlock Anambra’s mineral wealth and strengthen its contribution to national development.
