#HNNParenting: Happy 15th Birthday to the Chukwu Octuplets. 8 babies born to Nigerians in America!

The Chukwu Octuplets (Keminications Media and AP Matthew Bebeto)

Have you heard of the Nigerian woman who had eight babies in December 1998? One died a week later and she had another girl 3 years later and now they are back as 8 again. Favour is the new girl in the pictures. Each fit in the palm of my hands. Isn't GOD amazing? 

My clients in 2009 are 15 today Dec 20th 2013. Technically one of them was born December 8th 1998 12 days earlier than the others. The Chukwu Octuplets have been my clients since they were born. They have not been in the spotlight till their 5th and 10th birthdays. Born in 1998 to a Nigerian-American couple, Iyke and Nkem Chukwu along with their grandmother Mrs Janet Chukwu have been caring for the octuplets with the help of hundreds of volunteers.

When Nadya Suleman delivered her own Octuplets, the media bombarded the Chukwus wanting to get advice and more. It was a CIRCUS! I spent day and nites fielding press interviews around the world in different time zones. I booked the Chukwu Octuplets on countless TV and radio shows plus all kinds of newspaper and magazine interviews. Larry King Live, AC360, TODAY, GMA, CBS Early show, Nightline, Globe and Mail, BBC TV and Radio, All CNN newswires, Monique Radio show and more!!
