Tell us in the most creative way, What is the story of your birth?

---

Everyone has story surrounding their birth, some pleasant and some unpleasant but the good thing is that we all landed safely regardless of the circumstances surrounding our birth.

My real name is Christian, folks have always asked me, what's it about your name, why are you named Christian? We're you birthed differently? There should be a reason why you were named Christian...

In this part of the world, most people get their names based on the circumstances surrounding their birth. You would see a couple who had been without a child for years and then finally gets one...guess what? the name of such child is likely to be Miracle or Testimony. That how we roll here

So...back to me. Well My mother had been pregnant of me, December made it the 9th month to be precise, she wasn't sure when I was gonna come, she only knew the range. Just a day after Christmas celebration after she had enjoyed her self to her fill, labour started. I simply told her am done staying in the womb, I want to see the world outside the habitat I have always known...lols

It didn't take long before she was rushed to Mission house, this is like some semi hospital owned by a church but with experienced mid wives. This was were she was finally delivered of a bouncing baby boy . Now the name to be given the new born babe wasn't far fetched, I came during Christmas, when Christ Jesus was being celebrated, hence the name Christian.

Have you had any particular experience with a pregnant woman?

---

Yea! I have met a lot of pregnant women though but the experience I won't forget was that of my mum when she wanted to give birth to very our last born. It wasn't funny at all. It was actually strange. I notice she was feeling uneasy.

I was naive and inexperienced then, I was just asking her what the problem was, she didn't come out plain, she wanted to reach my dad who was not at home as at then, it was obvious he was gonna to take long before coming back home. As at this time, I was already sensing what the problem is..

She then told me to see her off to the Mission house where she registered for her delivery. We got there and they examine her, they then sensed it was time for her to give birth, they had to admit her immediately even as they waited for the baby to kickstart the whole process.

That night she gave birth to our last born as at this time we had already brought the neccessary material to the hospital.

Did you inherit any disease from your parents? Tell us the details.

---

There is nothing of such, mum never had a communicable diseases. We all came out healthy and strong to the glory of God and we will forever bless the day we were conceived without complications.

---

During your childhood, Do you remember any recurring illnesses?

---

Nah nah nah...There were few times I fell sick while growing. I don't know how true but I have heard from many who seem to know better that those with Genotype AA hardly fall sick but when they do, it can be very severe. Well this turned out to be true. I don't fall sick easily but when I do, it always severe.

So in summary I would respond by saying there were no reoccurring sickness...maybe headache/maleria which is obviously caused by careless exposure to mosquitoes. Apart from these two, there's none.
