Autorenporträt
Born into the barracks community to a soldier, I grew up as a "Barrack boy" in the midst of people of diverse culture integrated into the Nigerian Army. My first life ambition was to be a Soldier like my father. it was not to be. I witnessed a lot of events in the barracks, the barracks is another world likened to the ghetto or projects in the U.S.A. But when you dare to think outside the cocoon called barracks then you will know that there is a bigger and brighter world out there. For he that has not left his Village will think his father's farm is the largest. Today I hold a degree in Banking and Finance and a post graduate degree in Business Administration and management. I am living and working with Nigerian Breweries Plc in Aba City, Abia state of Nigeria and I am married with three kids.
