Hello to everybody!
It's My Introduction
This is my introduction post to Hive. You all can know about me.
Who am I?
Lucky I am, by name, Diekeidu Daniel chinedu to be present in this scope, sharing the intricate details of my life's journey. It fills me with great joy, for I recognize this platform as an extraordinary avenue to express my thoughts, emotions, and the trials encountered along my path. Allow me to delve right into it.
I am Diekeidu Daniel chinedu, with the unique distinction of being a twin, and also having six other siblings, of which three are boy( including my twin brother & I, we are five boys)& three are girls . Though my roots trace back to Amabor village in Nkpologu, uzo-uwani local government area of Enugu state Nigeria. my upbringing took place in my home town nestled within the South East Region. Unfortunately, my brother and I were born when my Dad's Kingsman still have this devilish believe that two male twins are not allowed in their linage, rather, one is killed to allow the other stay. On this note that my parents had to hide me from these predators that claimed to be practicing their norm, for good six months. It happened that the day they noticed that we are twins, they threatened to kill me, but I was saved by one clergy ( Rev.Fr Paschal Nwachukwu ), whom was the parish priest of my home town then. He intervened " this is devilish, this is no longer the time of this fetish beliefs, no man is deprived of his right to life & this right should not be infringed by any other man for any reason". This was how I was saved from these lions, though it didn't end there, but am so happy that my name, chinedum ( God is leading me) has always been made manifest all through my life journey till date.
CHRISTIANITY
When I was 8 years old I received my first holy communion together with confirmation. My confirmation name is Paschal ( to the clergy that saved my life). A month later, I joined Altar boys and was so much devoted to the work of God, serving at the altar, accompany the parish priest to outside station, washing his clothes & cars. I served my parish as a president, from there to the denary level as a president & also to Diocesan level. I find immense pleasure & joy serving God & praying. I got my first Android phone as a gift for being a devoted alter server from our parish priest then, Rev.fr Benedict Agbo. I nursed the desire to become a priest, though after many effort to be enrolled into the seminary turned abortive. Though it didn't make me feel that God isn't with me
EDUCATION
My educational voyage commenced in my hometown, central primary school Nkpologu with my twin brother. I gained my first school leaving certificate at primary five, leaving my twin brother behind. This was because I have been securing the first position throughout my primary one to five & my form teacher had to tell my parents that I should take my first school leaving certificate at primary five. I gained admission into Adada secondary school, located 150 Kilometer away from my house.Being a tender young soul, the prospect of traversing such a great expanse seemed arduous when compared to the convenience of attending a nearby school within my community. My parents, putting it into consideration, took me to another school closer to my residence " Solid Rock International School Nkpologu". At my SS2 , I was made the head boy, due to the victories I had brought to the school on so many occasions & competitions.
Academically inclined, I yearned for promotion, feeling a sense of discrepancy when comparing myself to my peers, who still seemed quite young. As fate would have it, my request for advancement led me to undergo a series of tests. Much to my delight, I triumphed in each examination, thus, I had distinction in all my subject in My Waec, which I was supposed to be offered scholarship, but was denied.
At this juncture, it seemed that my enthusiasm for Education had been halted due to my parents financial incapability to further me to high institution. I had to take the cross upon myself. I served the bricks layers in my town, I did many manual jobs then, moulding blocks, going for farm work jobs & many others. I got money & applied for jamb to study medical Radiography. Leo and behold I got admitted to University of Nigeria Enugu campus ( Branch of University of Nigeria nsukka..... College of medicine).
Transitioned to University of Nigeria Enugu campus, drew my enemies closer to understand the fortune this young boy could bring to his family. On this account I had my terrible life experience. This could be traced back on the day I bought my new ride while I was on campus. I dived into crayfish business during COVID-19 while we were at home, I was able to save some money & get myself a ride, for my upkeep & school tuition. On returning to school on February 8 2022, I was lost in the land of sensory being. I was admitted to the hospital, after many labs, nothing could be the prompt medically. I was taken to a psychiatrist, his treatment proved abortive.My parents declined taking me to a native Doctor after may persuasive advice from relatives & friends because of their christian faith. While in this den of lion, I was still toiling in school, but was never comprehending anything the world was of then.
Remarkably, I couldn't even write my name & also had anxiety on seeing anything called prudent reasonable human being including my parents & my siblings. I could only find peace when I see mad people 💔😭😭. Flabbergastedly, I had no carry over through out this my horrible years on campus. I started going to prayers & stopped traveling to village. I got my self 4 days later, after I killed a Cobra that entered my room while I was asleep. From that very day, I received all the glories that was lost in me, both my sense of creativity and & graphics. Infact, the world turned to be a new space with tremendous successes both in the realm of my academia & otherwise. Currently, i am the SUG vice president of my school. What a great victory & achievement 💃💃. To God be the glory 🙏🙏
INTERESTS
Spinning our attention to my personal interests, I must confess that I am inclined towards a more introverted nature, often finding solace in the depths of solitude rather than reveling in the company of friends. Engaging in prayers and meditations. Engaging in prayer life within the comfort of my abode brings me great delight.
In addition to praying immensely, I find profound satisfaction in brooding, dedicating precious moments to reflect upon the intricate tapestry of my life's journey. However, my affinity for self-reflection is not confined solely to digital realms, it extends to the realm of literature. Novels, serials & other story books 📚. Keeping evergreen in my memory, for my mentor ( Rev.Dickson Asogwa) instilled in me the understanding that within those folio lie an immense power capable of transforming one's life for the better. Such sagacity rings true, as through reading, I have whet various aspects of my being, from managing my emotions to cultivating proper conduct in the presence of others.
Burning in me always, is learning the aesthetics of graphics, web designing & coding. Contritenessly, I have yet to acquire the capital & necessary requirements for this creative.
Nevertheless, I remained faithful & hoping on God that in due time I will explore this fascinating field.
Joining this awesome platform, I am suffused with anticipation, eager to embrace new knowledge and have more tells of life worldwide. I extend my profound gratitude to @Johnpaul1 whose introduction paved the way for me to join this wonderful community.
