Self-styled ‘President of Single Mothers’ Akothee has revealed the challenges she faced as a young mother due to lack of finances.
While sharing a throwback photo of herself, Akothee narrated how she lost her son after lacking money to take him to hospital.
“I had only 3 children but I had dropped 4 in my 10 year of marriage, one passed on at 8 months. I didn’t have money to take him to the hospital early enough, or maybe it was God’s time” she said.
The Oyoyo singer revealed that she gave birth to her deceased child on the street with the guards acting as midwives.
“He is actually the one I delivered on the streets and the watchmen of Awendo were my midwives, he was my second born, a boy in that matter, that one means a lot to the Luo community” she stated.
“So you know why I am crazy, nothing can shake me compared to the things I have seen all my life, I have missed death three times, if I died then, you wouldn't have known my name. That’s why I got no chills for nobody’s opinion, leave me alone,” concluded Akothee.
