Kenyan entertainer Mannerson Oduor Ochieng, alias Akuku Danger, has opened up on his decision to undergo a vasectomy.
According to him, his painful childhood experience influenced the life-changing choice.
Speaking during an interview with media Chris the Bass, the comedian revealed that he ecided not to have children because of the trauma he went through while growing up with sickle cell disease.
Akuku recalled spending most of his primary and high school years in and out of the hospital, which deeply affected both him and his parents.
“I actually went and did a vasectomy. I do not want to have kids because my childhood was very traumatic; I spent most of my time in the hospital rather than actually playing with my fellow children,” Akuku Danger said.

“All through my primary and high school, I was in and out of the hospital, and I had very supportive parents. I always used to see how both my mother and father were deeply broken by this because they did not understand”, he added.
The entertainer claimed that the difficult experiences made him grow up believing he did not want children of his own.
He revealed that he eventually underwent a vasectomy after discussing the matter with his partner.
“Yes, I have a partner, and it is something that we have been talking about for a very long time. I just told her’ mimi sitaki’, and she was also on the same page.”
“Whatever I passed through as a kid, I did not want to pass that, though I know there are some technological advancements in this field whereby I can still give birth without the child having sickle cell, but me as a person, I just do not want to have children,” Akuku further said.
