According to the Enugu State University of Science and Technology accountancy student, when she was very much younger, it was noticed that there wasn't any blood flowing through the veins in her legs.
This resulted in her legs getting rotten. Chiwetalu was taken to different hospitals in search of a solution until it was recommended that the legs be amputated to save her.
Chiwetalu believes she is an asset
The confident lady stated that despite discrimination she had faced from both genders, she is an asset.
Chiwetalu said that the man who finds her has got a wife.

9-year-old girl who crawls to school daily
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported about a 9-year-old girl who crawls to school daily.
The Ghana resident told BBC News Pidgin that she has never walked in her entire life and expressed optimism at doing so in the nearest future.
Her mother said she had carried the girl to school initially but stopped it.
And it came as a shock to the community when one day, Agnes dressed in uniform and took it upon herself to crawl all the way to school.
While stressing that the girl's condition can be corrected by surgery, Agnes' mum bemoaned financial constraints as the reason why they haven't pushed for treatment for the 9-year-old.
