This is my discovery of the year.

'Remarkable' Godwin Musa. 5 year-old.
Born into a family barely surviving on meagre finances.
His parents live in one of Abuja's densely populated slums where life and living Is nothing to write home about.
My church goes there on evangelism and welfare visits... That was how 'Remarkable' Godwin was discovered.
His childhood dream, apart from growing up into a very responsible man, is to own a bicycle. He sleeps and wakes up with this dream after seeing and riding the bicycle only in his dreams.

So, guess what? He did what many adults won't do. Instead of waiting and Wailing, Instead of getting angry and depressed over what he can't have, he started from somewhere.. He built a bicycle from scraps.... And he rides it with so much pride!!!

"Since my father cannot afford a bicycle for me, I decided to make one myself "he told my friend who introduced him to me.
What makes Godwin remarkable is his ingenuity, his creativity, brilliance, intelligence. A five year-old having a presence of mind for craetivity is a hard currency many children in expensive schools don't possess.

Looking into his tiny eyes sticking out of a face subdued by harsh harmattan dust, I see hope. I see a destiny bursting from its rims and waiting for an opportunity to explode!

Ladies and gentlemen, shouldn't we get a bicycle for Godwin? Ehn??

The boy,shall be great.

There are many children like this with high level of creativity. But unfortunately, as they grow up, society begins to kill their imaginations as everything and everyone around them seems to convey only one message "you can't achieve that" "That's impossible" and so they abandon the creative ideas and start living like everyone else. Some even struggle to survive even with the many talents they possess that can make them successful in life. All because of the way our society has been structured to kill creative minds. No conducive environment for creativity to thrive and even when someone tries despite the odds, there are a lot of naysayers always telling him that what he wants to do is not possible.

This is common in our society and we cannot make tangible progress until we start encouraging creativity.
