The Chukwu octuplets (born in December 1998 in Houston, Texas) were the first set of live octuplets born in the United States. The smallest of the octuplets, Odera, died a week after birth. Now 10 years old and have a 6 year old sister named Divine Favor.
The Chukwu Octuplets (born in December 1998 in Houston, Texas) to mom Nkem Chukwu and dad Iyke Louis were the first set of octuplets born in the United States. The smallest of the octuplets, Odera, died a week after birth.
The first of the octuplets, Ebuka, was born on December 8, 15 weeks premature. The remainder were born by Caesarean section on December 20, 13 weeks premature. The smallest of the octuplets, Odera, died on December 27, a week after birth.
Within a month of being born, all remaining 7 babies were breathing independently without any support from oxygen. A few years ago The Houston Chronicle did an update on the family and reported that the 7 babies were thriving and growing like normal children.
In 2002, Nkem Chukwu delivered a daughter named Divine Favour, this time without the help of medication. She is called "Favour" as Chukwu believed that God did her a favor by giving her back the daughter she lost after the octuplets' birth. Favour is usually seen in public dressed like her siblings forming an 8-member octuplet brood.
HEY KIDS! MILLIE THE GLOBAL OCTUPUS IS READY TO CHAT. CHATS ANNOUNCED A DAY BEFORE.
Many of your kids want to share hobbies and more with the Octuplets who are now 10 years old. Bring them with you to the chatroom on Saturday mornings.
OCTUPLET CHATROOM FOR MOMS, DADS AND KIDS. (ABSOLUTELY NO PROFANITY PLEASE! ZERO TOLERANCE.)
This was released to the media today via our Publicist and I did an interview with CNN Radio, CNN Newswire and CNN.com earlier in the day.
Last week, the world media learned that the mother of the new Bellflower Octuplets Nadya Suleman already had six other children including the fact that one of the older ones was autistic and that she allegedly went through in vitro fertilization to conceive each of her children. In addition it was reported that Ms Suleman filed bankruptcy, lives with her own parents as a single mom and also was quoted by her own mom Angela Suleman as being “obsessed with kids.” The mom of the 10-year old Chukwu octuplets, Nkem pronounced (In-Kem) now wants to respond with a statement on this issue.
Below is the full statement….
“In light of the Bellflower mom, Nadya Suleman’s story, I made it clear on NBC’s TODAY show that the upcoming Chukwu Octuplets world tour will be promoting HEALTHY FAMILIES. As a mother of Octuplets, the focus should now be on the care of the new babies so as to raise them in a healthy environment physically, psychologically, mentally and emotionally. There has been too much speculation on the internet however everyone is entitled to their opinion. We would not be here without our army of volunteers. They remain in our prayers in getting a support system for building a healthy family.”
