Mannerson Oduor Ochieng alias Akuku Danger has revealed doctors had predicted he would die at age 15.

Speaking during an interview with Mpasho.Co.ke he said doctors told his mum to go and wait for him.

Akuku now says he has proven the doctors wrong by staying alive long enough to celebrate his 31st birthday.

"When I was 15 the doctor told me, mum, to go home and wait for me to die. He told her they had done everything they could. My mum was a religious person so she kept praying.

I told my mum to take me home and requested that we call the pastor to pray for me, I was in so much pain but It never hit me that I was going to die."

Adding,

"We went to the hospital the next day and I survived.

After some time my mum was told sickle cell anaemia patients don't live past 18 years but here I am, I am 31.

It is God who gives life and no doctor can dictate when I will die."

Akuku says most doctors are not well equipped how to tackle anaemia.

"In most parts of Nyanza, Sickle Cell Anaemia is so high but there is not enough sensitization.

In Class 5 is when I knew I had Sickle Cell Anaemia, I could understand through what the doctors were saying during my clinics."
