Let me take you on a journey, do come with me.

So it wasn’t a surprise that those who knew me (especially my parents) believed that I would end up being a medical doctor, or in the least, a pharmacist.

I, on my part, didn’t bother about what the future held, as I was the type that took life one day at a time. The only time I ever thought about what I would be in the future was when I read a children’s story in my Primary Six about aliens visiting the earth from a faraway planet. The story had unlocked my imagination, and since then I went off track.

By that I mean that I started reading more stories. I read all kinds of stories, no matter the genre or age they were meant for. I even read stories in Igbo, my native language. My hunger for stories increased to the point that if I didn’t see any novel to read, I would make do with the multitude of stories in the Bible.
