Genital mutilation: “Patients want me to restore their genitals” – Nigerian born UK midwife

A midwife who opened Britain’s only clinic for victims of female genital mutilation (FGM) has spoken in harrowing detail about the horrors inflicted upon her young patients.

Comfort Momoh, 50, originally from Nigeria, opened the African Well Women’s Clinic at London’s St Thomas’ Hospital in 1997, and treats up to 350 women for ‘reversal procedures’ each year, despite FGM being illegal in the UK since 1985.

‘I have young people saying to me: “Comfort, can you put my clitoris back?” And they get angry when I tell them what has been removed can’t be returned,’ Momoh told the Evening Standard on International Women’s Day.

Momoh: 16 years after her FGM clinic opened communities are finally talking about it 'which is fantastic'Momoh: 16 years after her FGM clinic opened communities are finally talking about it ‘which is fantastic’

FGM is usually carried out on girls aged between five and 12, and Momoh says she performs surgery to reverse the closure of the vaginal opening on two women each week.

The midwife says it is ‘fantastic’ that communities are finally talking about the issue of FGM, a practice associated with religion and female oppression – and one actively encouraged by the victim’s mothers ’90 per cent of the time’.

Within certain communities female circumcision is deemed necessary to make a girl marriageable, and is often carried out by a ‘grandma’ who has no anatomical knowledge and sees it as ‘an act of love’ rather than something barbaric, reported the Standard.

Procedures can cause severe bleeding and problems urinating, and later cysts, infections, infertility as well as complications in childbirth and an increased risk of newborn deaths.

There are four types of FGM – clidoridectomy, excision, infibulation and other – and adult women who have undergone mutilation type three or four can have desperately painful intercourse, and suffer anxiety and palpitations when their husbands want sex.

Men can find it unpleasant, too, even suffering bruised penises. ‘Some say to me it’s like trying to penetrate a brick wall,’ says Mamoh.

Momoh has discovered that parents keen for their daughters to be circumcised take them on ‘summer holidays’ to their ancestral homeland where they will be secretly cut.

She is now campaigning for a police stall at Heathrow airport over the summer months, and wants carriers to help raise awareness of the law, ‘but they think it’s too culturally sensitive’.

While almost 30 African countries practice FGM and most of Momoh’s patients come from Somalia, Sierra Leone, Gambia, Eritrea, Sudan and Nigeria, they are far from an anomaly.

The World Health Organisation stresses FGM has no health benefits and is a violation of the human rights of girls and women

In November, Observer journalist Abigail Haworth reported witnessing 248 girls suffer mutilation in just one day ‘of celebration’ in Indonesia.

Haworth said: ‘Although Indonesia is not a country where FGM is widely reported, the practice is endemic.

‘Two nationwide studies carried out by population researchers in 2003 and 2010 found that between 86 and 100 per cent of households surveyed subjected their daughters to genital cutting, usually before the age of five.

‘More than 90 per cent of adults said they wanted the practice to continue.’

The World Health Organisation stresses FGM has no health benefits and is a violation of the human rights of girls and women.

People who carry out or arrange female genital mutilation in the UK or abroad face up to 14 years in prison.

  1. PLEASE READ THE SCARY REVELATIONS BELOW….. In an interview a man
    identified as Brother Sadiq, who was allegedly
    shown hell after a forty day fasting said, “The Lord said ‘come with me’
    and the next thing I saw is that we were walking together in hell.
    When we got to hell, the Lord said to me, ‘this is the place you wanted
    to see, don’t be afraid because of who I will allow you to see, and what I will show you’ …the Lord said I will allow you to talk with three
    men who were top
    preachers from your country but are now in hell’…the first person I
    talked with was Archbishop Benson Idahosa (Church of God Mission
    International)…the next person I talked with was Baba Paul Gindiri
    (New Life for All)…the next person I spoke with was Pastor Philip Mokungah (Oasis Church, Plateau state)… “While I was talking with him, I
    also saw a woman who was a very
    popular female preacher from Nigeria – She introduced herself saying,
    “See me, see me, see me, Bimbo Odukoya,” but I was not allowed to
    talk to her but she was allowed to talk to me. She said what brought her
    there was secret sin, though she did not state what the secret sin was. The Lord made it clear that it was iniquity that took her
    there… THE VISION
    What did Brother Sadiq see? After a forty-day fast that I was
    requested to go through by the Lord, in the place of prayer, I
    suddenly saw light around me and then heard the audible voice
    of the Lord saying, “Men have seen the sky, the sun, moon and stars, the mountains and the hills and yet they fear Me not; I will not hold
    My peace anymore, I am coming to judge the earth.”
    MY GOING DOWN INTO HELL
    When the Lord told me that the people in destruction are going to
    hell except they repent, then I asked the Lord “Can I see the
    place?” He said “Yes, you can see hell because you asked in a right way”. The Lord said “Come with me” and the next thing I saw was that
    we were walking together in hell. When we got to hell, the
    Lord said to me, “This is the place you wanted to see, don’t be
    afraid because of who I will allow you to see, and what I will show
    you.” The place was very terrible. It was dark and I could hear
    screams of billions upon billions of people, men and women. Though the place was dark, I could still see because the light of God was
    shining. His face was shining like the sun in its strength. I
    saw the flames of fire looking reddish and multitudes of people as
    though they were swimming in the fire. The people I was allowed
    to speak to were in their individual pits of fire. These pits of fire
    are literally billions upon billions! They would try to come out of the pit, but it was as if the fire would melt them. I saw billions upon
    billions of demons running around. These demons were
    more or less making mockery of those there.
    The Lord said “I will allow you to talk with three men who were
    top preachers from your country but are now in hell.” These are
    people I never met or knew on earth. Each of these men introduced himself to me and acknowledged that he deserved to be there
    in hell.
    The first person I talked with was Archbishop Benson Idahosa
    (Church of God Mission International).
    When I saw his state of suffering in hell, then I asked him some
    questions. Q. Why are you here? A. Covetousness and I was full of self-righteousness
    while I was on
    earth. And I deserve to be here.
    Q. Are you used to the pains and the suffering?
    A. No. The suffering is new every day.
    Q. For how long have you been here? A. Thirteen (13) years Q. What if I want to come here where you are?
    A. If you want to, you are welcome.
    While I was talking with him his flesh would melt as if acid was
    poured on his face. All the time he was talking with me, he was in
    torment in his own pit of fire.
    The next person I talked with was Baba Paul Gindiri (New Life for All). While he was looking at me, he was screaming in his own pit
    of fire. As he would try to talk, fire would come from his mouth
    melting his throat. Then the throat came back again and he was
    able to talk with me. As he was talking there was fire burning
    even inside his head and he was in real torment.
    Q. Why are you here? A. My works brought me here Q. What works?
    A. Guile (deceit, hypocrisy, falsehood)
    Q. But I was touched by some of your messages I have listened to,
    yet you are here. Is your message that we are listening to also
    going to bring us here? A. No
    Q. Why? A. If you allow the Spirit of the Lord to lead you and not your
    human mind, your life will glorify God through the messages.
    The next person I spoke with was Pastor Philip Mokungah (Oasis
    Church, Plateau state). He was talking with me with his head upside
    down. The Lord says that was the state of his punishment
    at that hour. Q. Who are you and why are you here?
    A. I was Pastor Philip Mokungah. Now I know I am nothing and
    myself-will brought me here. And I’ve already sowed the seed of
    self-will and selfish desire in my family. The more it grows the more my
    punishment in hell increases. I was walking right with
    God then gave room to the devil and he cut me off. He succeeded through my desire and at the end I divorced my wife. This was the
    first step that separated me from God. And I took it very lightly.
    Now I am here as a result of my self-will.
    He also gave me a message for his family. While I was talking with him, I
    also saw a woman who was a very
    popular female preacher from Nigeria – She introduced herself saying, “See me, see me, see me, Bimbo Odukoya,” but I was not
    allowed to talk to her but she was allowed to talk to me. She said
    what brought her there was secret sin, though she did not state
    what the secret sin was. The Lord made it clear that it was iniquity that
    took her there.
    Ten other people spoke to me but I was not allowed by the Lord to speak to them. Eight of them are of other nationalities (Non-
    Nigerians). There was a man I met in Indonesia where I went preaching in
    2009. He said he was in hell because of wrong counseling. He was
    a counselor who was giving people wrong counsel
    One of them said he is there because of the spirit
    of irresponsibility. Another said he came there because of gossip. Another said he is there
    because of the spirit of bitterness.
    A lady said she came there because of lying in the name of God.
    There was a young man who said he was arrested while on earth
    for preaching the gospel and the devil cut him off in prison where
    he compromised his faith. There was a woman who was just wailing but I could not pick out her
    words.
    There was an elderly man who said he wished he was me because
    looking at me I was not feeling what he was feeling.
    I saw a young girl with a very long hair with different colors. She
    was an occultic girl who was in the choir of her church. The last person was a young man. He said he called himself into the
    ministry because he desired to help God. The hand of the Lord
    was not on him and therefore no grace. He went to so-called men
    of God seeking anointing of the Holy Spirit. As they prayed, they
    transferred the same evil spirits in them into him. He gave a
    message – “Be careful of those you allow to lay hands on you.” The three men the Lord allowed me to speak with were very
    popular preachers. God, however, is not a respecter of persons for
    He is a just judge. Acts 10:34-35: “Then Peter opened his mouth,
    and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
    But in every nation he that feareth Him, and worketh
    righteousness, is accepted with Him. Rom 2:11: “For there is no respect of persons with God.” Rom.
    11:22: “Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on
    those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you
    continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.” THE
    RAPTURE
    What does the Scripture say concerning the rapture of the ready saints?
    1 Thess. 4:16-18:
    “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with
    the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in
    Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain
    shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
    Therefore comfort one another with these words.”
    1 Thess. 5:1-11:
    “But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need
    that I should write to you. For you yourselves know
    perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden
    destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant
    woman. And they shall not escape.
    But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake
    you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the
    day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who
    sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.
    But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate
    of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not
    appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our
    Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.Therefore comfort each other
    and edify one another, just as you also are doing.”
    Rev 22:10-12:
    “And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book,
    for the time is at hand. He who is unjust, let him be unjust
    still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.
    And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to
    give to every one according to his work. ”
    The Lord showed me an open vision of the rapture before He took me
    down to hell. The first person I saw in the vision was the Lord
    Jesus Christ Himself. I have seen Him on several occasions before now so I know Him.
    The Lord ALLOWED me to see the PRESENT CONDITION (not FUTURE
    DESTINATION!) of everyone He has privileged me to meet in my
    two and half year’s journey with Him. As well as many others that I have
    never met including those the Lord said I will meet in
    future. 1. I saw those who were going up in glory with the Lord.
    2. I saw those were going down in destruction.
    Those in Category 2 were far more in number compared to those
    in Category 1. There were those who were not seen in Category 1 or 2.
    The Lord
    says these ones are hiding in darkness for there is nothing hidden in the Light.
    Most of the ministers who were going up in glory, the Lord says,
    are not the popular ministers known by men on earth but are
    known by Him. However, I saw some ministers of the gospel that I know.
    Most of the major ministers in Nigeria were seen going down in
    destruction. The Lord says this is the season of judgment. He says He cannot bear any longer what they are doing in His name for He
    is coming to judge the earth, yet it is not too late if they repent;
    but He says, “If you refuse to be sincere with yourself and repent, you
    know where you are going – your destiny is eternal
    destruction.”Just some of the major ministers among the so many
    ministers in destruction are going to be mentioned here for the purpose of their redemption. The Lord says it is not His will for you
    to be where you are right now and you know it.
    I have never met or known any of these ministers. However, some of
    these ministers were brought to me in the place of prayer for
    intercession during the forty-day fast preceding this vision. The
    Lord introduced them to me as lost ministers. Christian national leaders from other countries include – Joel Osteen, Kenneth
    Copeland, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Billy Graham, Joyce Meyer, Rod
    Parsley, Myles Munroe, Mike Murdock, Paula White, Ron Kenoly, Pastor
    Donnie McClurkin, Pat Robertson, Reinhard Bonkke, Pope
    Benedict, David Yongi Cho, Duncan Williams and many others!
    The essence of mentioning these names is for these people to be warned by those who know them and love them so there can be a
    change in their ways before it is too late! My responsibility is to
    simply report what I saw and to warn, so I am free of their blood. There
    are many other lost ministers whose names cannot be listed
    here, but let everyone examine himself before the searchlight of
    the Holy Spirit. Each of us must confront ourselves with the gospel of truth before it is too late forever!
    Ezek. 3:17-21:
    “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel;
    therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning
    from Me: When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you
    give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his
    iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Yet, if you warn
    the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his
    wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have
    delivered your soul.
    “Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall
    die; because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin,
    and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but
    his blood I will require at your hand.
    Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous
    should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; also you will have delivered your soul.” Ezek. 33:7-11:
    “So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house
    of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and
    warn them for Me. When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you
    shall surely die!’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from
    his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to
    turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die
    in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
    “Therefore you, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: ‘Thus you
    say, “If our transgressions and our sins lie upon us, and we pine
    away in them, how can we then live?”‘ Say to them: ‘As I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but
    that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your
    evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?”
    The truth is like a double-edged sword which if received
    reverently could comfort us and if rejected could crush us (Heb.
    4:12-13). This vision is a demonstration of grace and love from the FATHER-
    HEART OF GOD.
    I saw many national leaders including President Barrack Obama
    and President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan going down in
    destruction. They also must be warned!
    When I looked at the people who were going up with the Lord, they were very calm, at peace and full of joy.
    When I looked down at the people in destruction, I was surprised
    because some of them are supposed to be the people of God that I
    know. They were crying out in agony and pain. Yet the Lord said
    there was nothing He could do except they repent. At this point I
    had questions in my mind. Then the Lord told me to ask questions. Q. Where is the destination of these people who are going up with
    You?
    A. They are coming to be with Me where I prepared for them.
    Q. For those going down in destruction, where is their
    destination?
    A. They are going down to hell except they repent. Q. Why are these people in destruction?
    1. Hypocrisy – what they are in their mouth is not what they
    are in their heart.
    Matt 15:7-9: “Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you,
    saying: “These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and
    honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of
    men.’”
    2. Submitting to the spirit of paranoid that does not allow them
    to see sin as God sees it, thus making light what is serious in His
    sight. This spirit works directly against the Spirit of Truth.
    John 16:13-14: “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own
    authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell
    you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is
    Mine and declare it to you”.
    Consequently, they are not pure in heart, for only the pure in
    heart will see God (Matt 5:8) “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one
    will see the Lord.” Heb. 12:14. Coming out of Hell
    After the Lord brought me out of hell, I was back in the light were I
    was before. Then I said, “Lord, can I ask a question?” He
    answered,“Why not”. “Lord, why did you allow me to have this
    experience. I’m afraid seeing these men in hell?” Then the Lord said to me, “I allowed you to see these men in hell because of the
    message you are carrying for this generation.” I now asked the
    Lord, “Can I carry this message of seeing these people who
    labored in Your vineyard, and yet ended up in hell?” The Lord said
    to me, “That is their choice. They knew the truth but they refused
    to confront themselves with the truth but others. You can carry the message because of the anointing that is upon your life”. “But Lord,
    You anointed these men as well and yet they have ended up
    in hell!” “It is because of their choice. If you also choose the wrong
    road like them, you will end up where they are. But my desire is
    that you continue on the right road”. This warning, of course,
    applies to all those going up with the Lord in glory! “What about those people who listen to their messages, would they be saved or lost
    like them?” “If they believe in Me, it is not their message, it
    is My message”.
    Then the Lord raised His two hands and was leaving. Then I asked
    Him, “Lord, when are you coming to take us?” He said, “I Myself do
    not know, only the Father”;as He said this, He was looking up towards heaven. After this He went up. There were many angels with
    Him in the clouds and they went back with Him. The end of the vision
    After they left, as I looked, I was shocked to find myself still in the
    place of prayer where I first knelt before the Lord the previous
    day, 2nd of September 2011. I realized I had been with the Lord
    for about twenty-four hours yet there was no weariness or weakness in my body. Then an anointing came upon me and the names
    of some of the people I had seen in the vision began
    coming to me especially the lost ministers, for prayer. I was given
    specific prayer points for each of them. The general prayer for all
    the lost ministers is for God to open their spiritual eyes to see the
    need to confront themselves with the gospel of Truth. After this I gave thanks to the Lord for about an hour. I called Pastor
    Kelvin Stewart (my pastor) who said he tried to reach me
    the previous day without succeeding. He was assured by the Lord
    that I was alright, that I was with Him and would call early in the
    morning, which is what happened.
    Pastor Kelvin has shared the vision with the people with whom we are relating as it affects them and there has been genuine repentance
    amongst us. Like I stated, the purpose of this
    revelation from the Lord is for REDEMPTION. Some of those
    mentioned have, with great humility and openness, made contact
    and sorting things out with God.
    Why the vision?It is a warning and a wake-up call. To save the lost ministers, and sinners in and outside the
    organized Church. To fit the saved for greater service in the Kingdom of
    God. THE TIME IS AT HAND.
    MEN MUST BOW TO WORSHIP THE KING – JESUS!AND THEN ARISE TO
    ESTABLISH HIS KINGDOM WHERE WE LIVE AND WORK! MAY WE BE
    FOUND RAPTURE- READY! Conclusion As you have read this book, dear friend, if you have not given
    your life to Christ and you desire to do so from your heart please
    pray the prayer below. Also, if you have just been a religious
    person, just going to church but you know you have no
    relationship with Christ as your head or you are a backslider. If you desire
    that Christ give you a pure life now you have a divine opportunity. Truly you are making the greatest decision in your
    life.
    The End* I would like you to pray this prayer right away, if you
    want Jesus to come into your heart:
    Heavenly Father, I come to You admitting that I am a sinner (Romans
    3:23). Right now I choose to turn away from sin, and I ask you to cleanse me, by Your blood, of all unrighteousness. I believe
    that Your Son, Jesus, died on the cross to take away all my sins.
    I also believe that He rose again from the dead so that I may be
    justified and made righteous through faith in Him (Romans 6:23). I
    call upon the name of Jesus Christ, to be the Savior and Lord of my life
    (Acts 2:21). Dear Lord, I choose to follow You, and I ask that you fill me with the power of the Holy Spirit (Luke 11:3).
    I hereby renounce the power of Satan and sin over my life,
    declaring that I am now a born-again child of God (Romans
    10:9-10). I am free from sin and full of the righteousness of God, in
    Jesus’ name I pray, Amen. If you just prayed this prayer by faith, the Word
    of God has promised that you are now BORN AGAIN! (II Corinthians 5:17).
    Welcome to the Kingdom of God! Now you have brothers and
    sisters all around the world. This is the most important decision
    that you have ever made. Take full advantage of it. Don’t go back
    into the world. The world leads to death, but the fear of God leads to
    eternal life. At each moment you need to live like it is the last day, and the last time of your life.

    1. You are a fool! We talking FGM here.
