Woman Who Gave Her Husband Her Kidney Wants It Back After He Dumped Her

A loving wife who saved her husband's life by giving him one of her kidneys now wants it back after he dumped her.

Andy Lamb was dying of renal kidney failure and was only being kept alive by weekly sessions of dialysis until his wife Samantha persuaded him to take one hers.

The 41-year-old mother-of-one told the Sunday People: 'He needed a new kidney or he would die.

'He was on dialysis three times a week. I told Andy he should go through with it. He had children from an earlier relationship and he wanted to be there for them.'

The couple met when they were both drivers for a private ambulance firm.

They started going out in 2004 but split and Samantha, who had been living in London, moved back to Ivybridge, in Devon.

The couple eventually got back together and married in 2007.

They were filmed for a BBC documentary but Mrs Lamb, who is now waiting for her husband to sign divorce papers, says as soon as she went through with the operation she regretted it.

Samantha believes he was having an affair with her friend Clare who she confronted and which Andy denies.

The couple tried to save their marriage for the sake of Samantha's daughter Beatrice from an earlier  relationship.

Samantha gave her husband one more chance but claims she later discovered he was having sex chats online with women.

 While she was working a night shift at Tesco he moved his stuff out of their home including the TV and stereo before posting the keys through the letter box without a note or letter, she claims.
Samantha said: 'I would definitely go through the operation again – but I wouldn't give the kidney to  him.

'I hate him. If I could I'd take it back and give it to someone else.'

Andy still denies having an affair with Samantha's friend but admits walking out on her.

He said: 'I never wanted her to donate her kidney because it was a big risk. But she insisted and I'll  always owe her my life'.

At the time of the operation Andy said: 'Sam's doing all this for me and I'll never get over that. She is just amazing and fantastic.

The mother-of-one has now filed for divorce papers and said she hopes to get on with her life.

45 killed in Nigeria market attack; police blame Boko Haram

Suspected Boko Haram militants opened fire on a village market and burned homes in the northeastern Nigerian state of Borno late Sunday, killing at least 45 people and injuring 26 others, the state's police commissioner said.


The gunmen arrived in the village of Kawuri in all-terrain vehicles, shot people at the market while traders were closing shop for the day, and burned a number of thatched homes, Borno state police commissioner Lawan Tanko said.

A witness, merchant Isa Ibrahim, said the attackers initially pretended to be traders at the market. He said it appeared bombs were used in the attacks, possibly planted ahead of time.

Tanko, the police commissioner, said it was not yet clear if explosives were used, adding a police bomb squad was searching for any unexploded ordnance.

Boko Haram is an Islamist militant group that has waged a campaign of violence in northeastern Nigeria, trying to impose a strict version of Sharia, or Islamic law.

Borno is one of three states in northeastern Nigeria that have been under a state of emergency since May because of the violence.

Delieverance: How T.B Joshua Turned Gay Man Straight

In a testimony from Thaddeus a Nigerian based  in Cameroon,  church member of Synagogue Church of All Nations, he said he was gay before but has now been delivered by  Prophet TB Joshua's Wise men.

Mr Thaddeus, a Nigerian from Imo State but residing in Cameroon, was travelling to Asia and had a long stopover in an African country where he stayed in a hotel with a swimming pool. He went for a swim with fellow men then went to eat and sleep.

That night in a dream, he saw himself swimming in the same swimming pool naked with other men. When he woke up, he was sweating and something entered him and he realised that he no longer had passion for women but rather began to develop passion for men like him.

 

Returning after the trip, Thaddeus broke his relationship with his fiancée who was shocked and could not understand why. Once free from the relationship, something pushed him to research on the internet about relationships with men. And as a French translator in his church,Thaddeus continued assisting in the church while still living that lifestyle and indulging in these sinful desires.

One day, his pastor asked him to go to The SCOAN for deliverance but did not specify why. On New Year's Eve, he decided that he could not enter 2014 the same and persuaded his cousin to fund his ticket to visit The SCOAN in Lagos, Nigeria.

 He arrived in Lagos and found a hotel. He saw the same man from the hotel in his dreams having an affair with him and immediately woke up and determined that he could not sleep anymore but rather made his way to The SCOAN that night. Upon arriving at The SCOAN, he was in one of the many overflow canopies and could not get a pass to enter the church. From nowhere, an old woman who he had never met before handed him a pass, saying, "Here, take mine and go inside."

He entered and when the wise men were praying, he started to feel like running away. As Wise Man Christopher approached him, he became angry and when he touched him, a voice within him spoke out and he lost control of himself. He knew he was speaking but did not know what he was saying until he was finally delivered in the name of Jesus Christ.

 

 Now, after his deliverance, he testified that his desires have changed and he no longer has passion for men but rather for women. He can now pray and read his Bible without distraction and diversion. In his advice Thaddeus said:

Now I am delivered, I no longer have affection for men but for ladies. If you come across someone with the same problem, you should not condemn. The only answer is deliverance.
