The only thing I had in common with my sisters academically was that we always topped our class
They normally topped from the front whilst I topped from the back...all na topping
I can't remember how many times I was asked "Are you sure you're related to the ***"
#OdogwuTales
My sister's were "academic witches", their brain opened very early whilst for me, I was destined to be the "black sheep" of the family...it was quite bad!
At a point no one was expecting anything from me, you could say they literally gave up on me...
But Ogaranya never stopped!
Man kept sending me to the very best schools available, spending huge sums of money, I was his first born son, his "Okpara"
But all I gave him I return was failure upon failure but he didn't give up, he paid through his teeth to send me to Ghana for my senior secondary education
The morning I was to leave, he called me and warned me "If you disgrace me in Ghana, don't bother coming back" with a straight face
Later he hugged and told me "Oga adirigi na nma nwa'm" meaning "It shall be well with you my son" ðŸ˜
My first few weeks in Ghana changed my life..
First of all I was openly laughed at in class for my way of speaking, it was humiliating but it didn't end there...
One night I woke up and found out that I was the only one sleeping in my room, my mates were reading in class...Omoh
That night...i sat up and took a decision!!!
