Mrs Nkem and her mother at a press briefing in December 1998
The Houston's 'Octuplets' marking their tenth birthday recently''Just Enjoy it.''
Those were the words of advise Mrs Nkem Chukwu sent out to the mother of the recently delivered octuplets at the Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical centre in Califonia.All eight babies-six boys and two girls are reported to be in good health.
Ten years ago,Nkem Chukwu,a Nigerian-American citizen,then 27-years-old,delivered eight babies-six girls and two boys, to become the mother of what was believed to be America's first live-born octoplets in St Luke's Episcopal Hospital,Houston,Texas.However,the smallest of the babies named Odera died some days later.All the kids were given traditional Igbo names.The seven surviving siblings recently celebrated their 10th birthday.

Austyn,
Prof. Akunyili would be delighted to see your post on her previous looks before the stress of her NAFDAC job. I hope she would excel in her new post.
