Good day my good people of Nairaland. Am here to share my story. I've been a visitor in this site for long, and seen how people got help from different situations (even seemingly impossible situations). So I believe I could also get some help over here, which made me to create this acct.

Yea...you read the headline correctly, am looking for my father. My name is Pius Godgift. Am from Bayelsa State and lost contact with my father since the year 2000.

I was born as the only child of my mother (late Mrs Inta) and I grew up with my grand mum and aunts..my mum wasnt married to my father. I was told that my father worked as a custom officer in Port Harcourt and he comes to see me once in a while. My mum on her part didn't tell me anything about my dad (though I was still very young). he bought me some cloths during the Xmas period in 2000 which was also the last time I saw him or heard from him.
Everything changed in 2002 when I lost my mum, I was moved from port Harcourt to Bayelsa to stay with one of my senior aunt who doesn't know anything about my dad...so I basically didn't get anymore information about him while growing up. Whenever I ask of my dad, I'll be told that he is in Port Harcourt. I was given the impression that my dad will come looking for me whn it's time...

After my secondary school in 2011, I went back to port Harcourt thinking my dad will come looking for me, I waited till 2013 and nothing was happening so I started asking questions.... the only people that had a lil info abt my dad were my grand mum and one of my Aunt who unfortunately had no formal education of any kind, so it was even more difficult

From the info I got... my father's name was Pius buh they weren't sure about his surname which killed everything... according to ma aunt "his name is Pius Uguni" my grand mum was sure about Pius but wasn't sure about the surname (Uguni) he was said to have come from bumadi. Again they weren't sure if it was the bumadi in Delta state...or the one in Bayelsa... according to them, he was a custom officer (I confirmed that though, cos he once came to see me with his uniform) and worked in federal Secretariat port Harcourt which is located in Aba road port Harcourt.
After getting this sketchy info, I was adviced by my aunt's husband to go to the custom office in Aba road...he gave me a custom officer's phone number, who would help me get to the Secretary's office. When I got to the Secretary's office, she asked me the name, and I gave her the lil info I got..she said she resumed work 2004 in the office and said almost all the staffs before her where transferred to NPA in aboor Rd. pH.. She gave me the d number of the Secretary' in aboor Rd unit to make more inquiries...when I got to NPA, the Secretary' asked me the necessary questions, which I answered with the lil info I got. She called another of her colleague who was there before she came. But all of them said they came after 2005 and met no one with such details I gave to them, that he may have been transferred before they arrived the NPA...they also said they couldn't open any documents to check cos every document were parked to the warehouse.

I left the office as frustrated child who was betrayed by his father, I still don't wanna believe I am an orphan yet....I still believe Mr Pius is alive somewhere...I didn't have the time to stay with my mum even when she was alive, I preferred staying with any of ma.aunts or my granny because I was treated like an egg... everyone loved me and took me as there own child..buh growing up, I realized I needed someone I could talk to directly as ma mum or dad..I missed all of that.

Please my good Nairalanders... if you have any info concerning the lil info I've given, or you have someone who you think may have any info about a custom officer Mr.Pius..please help me, tell him his 23 years old son is being looking for him
You can reach me through this number 0708 974 5141

Pardon me for my grammars and faulty punctuations... am not good at narrations


Thanks

Am sorry....I can't tell if hes a Nairalander or not...am just using this medium as a last resort...I've tried everything possible, with no result... I could barely recognize him if I see him now..I was only 7ys old whn I saw him last

Do you have any pictures of him? You should post his pictures that'd be really helpful.

.

Lets pray you find him, or better yet he remembers that he has a child wherever he is

No picture..like I said, ma mum was married to someone else b4 I even knew my right from my left

Don't lose hope,am sure you will find him.

You father is traceable since he was a uniform man that's only if you have his full name.The best option still left for you is still through his carrier.Don't go to custom offices yourself again look for an elderly person who has lil knowledge about yous scenero,go with him/her..strike more,never relent,trace him to the last division of 1990 if possible am sure you will meet someone who might heared of his name during or after his service.Also try to pay media and let them broadcast it to the air he might be informed about you.One thing is certain,that's if he's not dead,he didn't and can never forget you..he might have been searching for you too.REMEMBER BLOOD IS TICKER THAN WATER.

As a father, I have to ask you why you have this ghastly opinion.

As you enter adulthood then you'll understand that sometimes things are not what they appear to be.

Op. Your story is supposed to be touching but my feelings for you is that of ambivalence.

First, I am tempted to blame your dad for not visiting for about 16 years, but then, nobody knows exactly why yet.

Secondly, I am disappointed that at 7years old you didn't know anything about your father, not even his name, his siblings or even his village.

More so, without apology, I must say that both your mum and her family were careless not to have known reasonable details about your father.

Anyways, My conclusion is if your dad was visiting and suddenly stopped, not because he had issues with either your mum or her family, then it is worrisome----and very worrisome.

My advice for you is to focus "MORE" on how you can become a better person while leveraging on any information you can get to find him.

I hope he turns out to be a very rich man. my wish for u

I pray you get to meet your DAD

Neva relent in ur search i strongly believe u will locate ur dad soon.

no b everything dem de use play

Mr. Pius may just be reading this post today or in few days.
You will find him Brother.

Many of us have never been in this kind of situation, not even remotely. I feel for you, like someone pointed out, the NCS is your first and last hope. Look for an older relative and head back there.

Did you read the last phrase of the second to the last and the last sentence you quoted?

A little black and white pic would have gone a long way to help....

Why would your mum do this to u knowing fully well that u are a man and will one day look for your roots

Get an appointment with the human resources.
and plead for help at the first custom service in PH...

This is the kind of things that makes me like computer era.. Instead of looking on a Dusty file, a click of a button would have done the magic within two mins

he is not here,check twitter.
anyway,strive to be successful in life,he will come looking for u.

NTA Sunday Newsline material

This is the reason wh a child out of wedlock is a no for me. This is the reason why polygamy is a no for me. This is the reason why I always say young men and women should be responsible. If your dad had a proper relationship with your mum,your aunt would have had better info about him and it would have been easier for you to find him. I pray you actually do find him. I hope other young men and wmen would be able to pick a thing from this. Whatever you do today,think of the effects on the kids unborn.

yes I did? did u read mine? did u play or u didn't?

I pray and hope you find him
